⚡ LightningBan
Make every ban an event. When a player gets banned, LightningBan strikes them with lightning as they're removed from the server, complete with thunder that everyone nearby hears.
Features
- ⚡ Strikes the banned player with real lightning at their exact location
- 🔊 Plays thunder and impact sounds for extra drama
- 🔧 Configurable number of strikes
- 🧩 Works with other ban plugins, not just vanilla
/ban - 🔒 Only triggers when the player running the command actually has permission to ban
Config
# How many times the player is struck
strikes: 3
# Commands that trigger the lightning
ban-commands:
- ban
- tempban
Using a different ban plugin? Just add its command to ban-commands and reload.
Commands & Permissions
| Command | Permission | Default |
|---|---|---|
/lightningban reload |
lightningban.reload |
OP |
Good to know
- The banned player must be online to be struck
- Bans must be run in-game by a player, not from console (console support coming soon)
- The lightning is real, so it can start fires and deal damage
Compatibility
- Paper 1.20.1+ (and forks like Purpur)
