# Lightning Podoboo<\/p>\n

Makes fire created by natural lightning cosmetic, meaning no blocks are destroyed during thunderstorms.
\nKeep the `doFireTick` gamerule enabled without worrying about random fire destroying your builds or nearby trees!<\/p>\n

Want to see a quick demo? Watch this short introduction video.<\/p>\n

## Installation<\/p>\n

Ensure you’ve installed Quilt Loader and drop Lightning Podoboo into your mods folder.
\nWhen used on a multiplayer server players connecting do not need to install this mod, and see no benefit from doing so.<\/p>\n

## Motivation<\/p>\n

This mod was created to work in tandem with the ever popular anti ender grief datapacks, disabling an annoying part of the game without causing any unintended side-effects while doing so:<\/p>\n

– Fire from other sources burns down blocks as usual
\n– Lightning created via tridents spawns vanilla fire
\n– You (and other entities) will still burn when hit by lightning<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
