Introduction:

This datapack aims to recreate Skeleton Horse Trap and add a brand new Horse Trap called "Zombie Horse Trap" in vanilla minecraft. It supports minecraft versions 1.16 to 1.20.

Working:

This datapack modifies 2 things in the game.

1. Thunderstorm Weather : It creates a new algorithm for thunderstorm weather. The algorithm is, every 10 minutes, there is a 10% chance of weather being changed to thunderstorm. This makes thunder weather occur more often than before, but still pretty rare.
2. Spawning mechanism : Whenever a thunderbolt strikes the ground, there is a 5% chance of a horse spawning from that thunderbolt. The horse will look like a normal horse, but it is a hidden trap from either skeleton(enabled by default) or zombie(disabled by default). When a player goes near that horse, it will turn back into a lightning bolt and 4-6 skeleton/zombie horsemen will spawn. By default, zombie horsemen are disabled but you can change that from toggle command, see admin commands section.
