Usage
Purpose... Unknown
Simply put, the SWEM shrimp summons endless lightning - this lightning will directly target the player but can strike a small area around them. The Shrimp's effects will be applied at any time the item is in their inventory, even if not directly held. Without high-level armor, the lightning is incredibly deadly from the first strike.
Lightning, when summoned, can be heard by ALL players if playing on Co-op or server. The lightning will not cease until dropped from a player's inventory or placed in a container.
SWEM Horses are immune to lightning damage (try it!) but other players or animals nearby will be susceptible to damage.
If a player dies to lightning, they will lose ALL items in their inventory unless keepInventory is enabled.
Trivia
The SWEM Shrimp was added in 2021 Beta-phase after Legend lost a bet (see: Battle of will and intellect) to Delphi. The item was a moderation joke, that when someone makes an 'oopsie' they receive a Shrimp. It's original function was supposed to be that the Shrimp would continuously strike the player with lightning when given, and would be retained on death to strike the player over and over until removed. Delphi (and moderators sooner or later) was supposed to be immune to it's effects... but devving the shrimp was never fully completed, so Legend gets the last laugh on that one.
SWEM Shrimps have a rather deadly effect that has seen a few accidental casualties. For that reason, as well as the natural occurrence of lightning that resulted in the loss of several beta horses, SWEM horses were made immune to lightning strikes and have an interesting effect when directly struck by lightning.
