Now that will be interesting. I'd better attach a metal rod to my roof and run a redstone circuit down to the ground I think...
I didn't actually hear any thunder itself in the video though, I presume that's still to be added in. Loved the distant flashes though, would be awesome if the distant flashes had the low gentle rumble and the close flashes had the crash of thunder...would be even more awesome if it had the delay too.
Not so keen on the idea of things catching fire though, even if its limited to just player objects (to prevent massive forest fires). Knowing how vicious fire is in Minecraft, I could see many major problems emerging. Starting with Mr Fetts Geisha house.
By the way Nagy, have you been over to Keab2s ice palace? It's full of epicness and win.
Oh, and snow.
