Overview

Divine Thunder is a powerful katana that combines high melee damage, lightning attacks, defensive protection, movement abilities, and configurable buffs.

The katana has:

• 59 attack damage
• 8,000 durability
• Sword enchantability
• Lightning-themed attacks
• A throwable attack that returns to its owner
• Passive protection while it is anywhere in your inventory
• Configurable powers while it is held

When the katana is in your inventory but not selected, it appears sheathed on your back.

What It Adds

Divine Thunder katana

Divine Thunder is a player-bound weapon with two different types of powers:

• Inventory powers: Some defensive abilities work as long as the katana is anywhere in your inventory.
• Held powers: The configurable buffs and most active abilities require the katana to be selected in your hotbar.

Throwing the katana does not remove the original item from your inventory.

How To Use

Basic attack

Attack a mob while holding Divine Thunder to:

• Deal 60 ability damage
• Summon lightning at the target
• Paralyze the mob for two minutes

Paralyzed mobs are immobilized and unable to attack normally during the effect. Players are not paralyzed by this ability.

Throwing the katana

Sneak while attacking a mob to throw Divine Thunder instead of performing a normal melee strike.

The thrown katana:

• Travels in the direction you are looking
• Deals 60 damage on impact
• Summons lightning at the target
• Paralyzes the target
• Returns to you after impact or after traveling a long distance
• Has a short cooldown of approximately half a second

The katana can also trigger its charged lightning burst when it hits a mob after you have earned one.

Thunder Smash

Double-tap the attack button while holding the katana and not sneaking to launch Thunder Smash.

During Super Charge, press V to activate Thunder Smash immediately.

The attack launches you upward and brings you down in a lightning impact that:

• Creates a circular impact area about nine blocks wide
• Digs roughly two blocks into the ground
• Calls down lightning across the impact area
• Replaces the ground with magma and fire

Use Thunder Smash away from important builds because it permanently changes the terrain.

Thunder Dash

After becoming Super Charged, press X while holding Divine Thunder.

Thunder Dash moves you up to 10 blocks forward in the direction you are looking. Mobs along the path are struck by the katana’s lightning attack, and a blocked path can be cleared before the dash ends with another lightning strike.

Abilities And Mechanics

Configurable held powers

Sneak and use Divine Thunder once to open the Divine Thunder menu. You can enable or disable each power individually:

The menu also includes:

• Apply every sword effect
• Remove every sword effect
• Summon a thunderstorm

These settings control the powers granted while the katana is held. Super Charge powers cannot be disabled from this menu.

When you first equip the katana, your health is filled to your new maximum.

Super Charge

A lightning bolt striking you while you are holding Divine Thunder activates Super Charge for 30 seconds.

Super Charge grants:

• Very high movement speed
• Strong regeneration
• Access to Thunder Dash with X
• Immediate Thunder Smash with V
• Visible electric spark effects

Super Charge speed and regeneration continue for their timed duration even if you put the katana away. Thunder Dash and the Super Charged Thunder Smash still require the katana to be held.

While the katana is held, the lightning strike that activates Super Charge does not injure you.

Hostile-mob thunderstorm

Double-tap the use button while holding Divine Thunder to summon a 30-second thunderstorm.

The storm targets hostile vanilla mobs in your dimension. Each hostile mob is struck by lightning, and a block at its location may be destroyed. The weather affects the whole dimension, so use this ability carefully near structures.

You can also start the storm from the Divine Thunder menu.

Damage protection

As long as Divine Thunder is anywhere in your inventory, you have a chance to avoid incoming damage:

• There is a 50% chance to completely negate most damage.
• Explosion damage that is not fully negated is reduced by 60%.
• Projectile damage has an additional chance to be completely negated.

When the katana is held, lightning and fall damage are fully restored after being received. Fire Resistance also protects you from the fire left by lightning strikes when that power is enabled.

Charged lightning burst

Kill 10 mobs while carrying Divine Thunder anywhere in your inventory. Your next successful Divine Thunder hit—either melee or thrown—summons 20 lightning bolts instead of one.

The kill counter resets when the 20-bolt attack is used. The burst can be used against any mob, not only hostile mobs.

Crafting And Obtaining

Divine Thunder is crafted at a crafting table using:

• A lightning rod
• A golden sword
• A nether star
• A gold ingot

You can also obtain it directly in Creative mode or with:

/give @s com_divine_thunder_gohcencc:my_sword 1

Progression And Strategy

• Start by enabling all held powers in the Divine Thunder menu.
• Keep the katana in your inventory even when using another weapon to retain its defensive damage protection and count mob kills toward the charged burst.
• Hold the katana when entering combat to gain its health, resistance, movement, and mobility powers.
• Use normal attacks to paralyze dangerous mobs before they can retaliate.
• Throw the katana at distant targets while keeping your original item safely in your inventory.
• Build up 10 mob kills before fighting a group or boss so the next hit can call down 20 lightning bolts.
• Trigger Super Charge during a thunderstorm to gain access to Thunder Dash and the immediate Super Charged Thunder Smash.
• Reserve Thunder Smash and the hostile-mob thunderstorm for open areas, since both abilities can damage the terrain.
