Lightning now appears correctly in all biomes

LightningMod 2.3-mc26.1

• port to 26.1
• switch to YACL instead of cloth config

updated to 1.21.5-1.21.8

Fixed the weather logic, so the game no longer incorrectly detects rain during clear weather, and storms with visible rain and lightning now correctly occur in all dry biomes.

dedicated server fix

update to 1.21.8

2.0

Added

• Lightning Frequency Control: Added a new slider in the config screen to control the frequency of lightning strikes during a thunderstorm. Lower values result in more frequent lightning.
• Skeleton Horse Spawn Control: Added a new slider to control the spawn chance of Skeleton Horse traps. Users can now reduce the chance from 100% (vanilla) down to 0% (disabled).
• All-Biome Lightning: Added a boolean toggle to allow lightning to strike in biomes that are normally "dry" (like deserts, savannas, etc.), as long as a thunderstorm is active in the world.
• In-Game Configuration: Created a full in-game configuration screen using Cloth Config, accessible via Mod Menu.

Changed

• The configuration is now managed through lightningmod.json instead of requiring manual edits.
• Improved user experience by using sliders for numeric values instead of simple text fields.
