⚡ ThunderRider

ThunderRider is a plugin that occasionally summons lightning near a player, followed by the appearance of a rider on a skeleton horse with a squad of helpers.
It adds an atmosphere of surprise and danger to the world, making surface travel slightly less safe.

? Version Compatibility

?️ Features

• Random spawn of lightning and a skeleton rider (Skeleton on a skeleton horse) near the player.
• Chance to spawn additional skeleton helpers that assist the rider.
• Configurable equipment, damage and health multipliers.
• Customizable names and messages (supports MiniMessages format).
• WorldGuard integration — lightning and riders do not spawn in regions where mob spawning is denied (MOB_SPAWNING: DENY).
• AFK check via Essentials — events do not trigger for inactive players.
• Check for existing nearby riders to avoid spam.
• Flexible configuration for chance, radius, frequency, and behavior in config.yml.

? Commands

? Permissions

? Integrations (Optional)

• Essentials — used to determine player AFK status.
• WorldGuard — protects regions from spawn if MOB_SPAWNING: DENY is set.

? Concept

The plugin is designed to add unexpected challenges for players, where even during regular travel a storm can erupt and Storm Riders can appear on the field.

⚔️ Beware, thunder doesn't always herald rain!
