⚡ LightningStrike
⚡ Call down the storm on demand
Overview
LightningStrike gives server staff full command over the sky. Summon a bolt on a single player, target exact coordinates, or unleash chain lightning that ripples out to everyone within a radius. Every action supports a cosmetic mode that fires a harmless visual bolt — no damage, no fires — perfect for cinematics and roleplay. Drop the flag and the lightning deals real damage instead. Each subcommand has its own permission node, so you can hand out narrow access without granting full control.
Features
Strike a Player
Hit any online player directly with a bolt at their location.
Strike Coordinates
Target exact X/Y/Z coordinates in the sender's world (or the main world from console).
Chain Lightning
Cascade staggered bolts onto every player within a radius, capped by a configurable chain limit.

Per-action permission nodes plus an admin node that bundles them all.
