Skybolt Resonance Mod transforms ordinary thunderstorms into cinematic weather events across your world. It introduces procedural lightning bolts that fork across the sky alongside multi-layered rolling thunder that travels realistically with distance. The mod adds visual shockwaves, particle bursts, ground scars, and rare drifting ball lightning to make every storm feel alive without needing external shaders.
