Hello, I'm spawning a lightning bolt when I right click an item, and I know that this method in "Entity" tells the mod how much damage lightning does:

public void onStruckByLightning(EntityLightningBolt par1EntityLightningBolt)
{
        this.dealFireDamage(5);
        ++this.fire;

        if (this.fire == 0)
        {
            this.setFire(;
        }
} 

So how would I go about changing how much damage the bolt does.

Oh, sorry. I was messing around and copied that from the wrong class. I was trying to make a custom lightning, but I was having issues. I'll try the EntityStruckByLightningEvent.

Okay, so

@SubscribeEvent
public void onLightningStrike(EntityStruckByLightningEvent e) {
e.entity.dealFireDamage(16);
} 

does not work, because dealFireDamage is private.

So how would I go about doing this.

I had a total derp and for got about

e.entity.attackEntityFrom(DamageSource.onFire, 16);
