Totem of the Storm ⚡

This is my first mod! I'm just learning Java and Minecraft modding. Please don't judge too harshly!

🎓 What is this?

This mod adds a Storm Totem — a structure that summons lightning and gives buffs when activated. Made by following tutorials, trial and error, with tons of mistakes along the way.

⚠️ Honest Warning

🎨 Textures are bad — I'm not an artist, drew them myself + some AI help
🐛 There may be bugs — this is my first project, barely tested
💻 Code isn't perfect — I'm learning, feedback is welcome in Issues
🔧 Limited features — the mod is simple, but it works (I think)

⚡ What the mod does

Build a totem from 3 blocks (2 Storm Blocks + 1 Rod)
Activate with Storm Flint
Lightning, particles, thunder sound
Player gets Speed and Jump Boost
Nearby crops instantly grow
Animals glow and drop experience

🙏 From the author

I'm just starting my modding journey. This mod is my first creation, made over a few days with the help of an AI friend and lots of Googling. If you downloaded this — thank you! If you find a bug — let me know, I'll try to fix it. If you're an experienced modder — please don't roast my code too hard 😅

Thanks for stopping by! Learning is part of the process. 💙
