Don's Lightning Rod Mod
Minecraft Java mod. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on CurseForge
Have you ever wanted to build an evil lair, but found that even the best villain can't control Minecraft weather? Perhaps you're an industrious fellow looking for a way to farm zombie pigmen. Or maybe you're just an ordinary builder that's tired of your house being burned down? Well then, a lightning rod is just what you need!
Unlike their GregTech cousins, Don's lightning rods actually prevent lightning strikes by re-directing strikes in their coverage zone to the rod. The effective range of the rod can be increased by mounting it on iron bars, effectively making large lightning-free zones.
Lighting rods also come with a companion lighting bank, which can be used to capture the power of lighting.
