I remember this idea posted in another thread where you could obtain it by flying a kite in a thunderstorm with an empty bottle in your inventory and the kite getting struck by lightning and zapping you in the process.

Agree with the first proposed method to acquire, but not the effect of the item. Catching lightning in a bottle is an idiom describing the act of achieving something nearly impossible, so if you are lucky enough to have lightning strike a placed bottle, the resulting item should be a luck increasing item

And make it jump really really fast

Definitely a great idea, gives the lightning a bit more purpose rather than just smiting everything in sight. Also would be a cool thing for a new player to accidentally obtain if they were to get struck by lightning with an empty bottle in their inventory. Though it might be a bit difficult to balance a drop rate on such an item. Maybe rather than an empty bottle it has a chance to upgrade an already existing cloud in a bottle item either in your inventory or attached to your character. Or maybe its while flying a kite and being struck by lightning while there’s a bottle in your inventory?
Do the different clouds in bottles already have different power levels? I assumed they all functioned the same.

make it so that if you try to use it underwater you just die because water conducts electricity

Is the tool tip a Key and Peele reference?

This but you get thrown really far up so that you suffer from sucess

Just make it HM exclusive, and it’s great.

Maybe not gives you a double jump. But maybe something like “causes lightning to strike enemies below the user when jumping/double jumping”
This way it incentives you to use more double jump accessories. Also to jump over enemies to damage them

Seeing as how it would be the easiest jump
Item to get, it shouldnโt be the best.
All youโd need to do is quick place a table and bottle or get hit during any storm and youโre skipping all of the fishing/exploring the other ones require. Pretty busted.
What if you’re able to charge up your jumps with it?

Could also be moved to hardmode, by crafting a special type of glass + some other balancing stuff / changes like those mentioned in the comments.

Please let this also act as a way to craft upgrades for the Nimbus Rod, Paladin’s Hammer and the 2 underground desert weapons.

More multijumps yes!
I remember when you first posted this and i have been wanting it ever since
I really REALLY hate flying in terraria so being able to have more multijumps is always welcomeย
(Plus lightning is cool and severely lacking in terraria)

Couple possible better changes.
1. Making it a single jump item that’s between the cloud and tsunami, but its damaging capacity is still there within the same jump height.
2. Make the fart 10 and the lightning 17 to make the increase consistent throughout. Make the 3 alternate niche ones have their own bundle of balloons. They could maybe use the obsidian horseshoe or even be able to combine with the normal bundle, but probably not.

Just make it so you take full damage from the lightning every time you use it

We need this actually. After getting wings could in bottle etc.. become not that useful.
+ It should be a hardmod accessory.

“Do not combine with fart in a jar”

saw [a really good post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Terraria/comments/1k6o7h4/lightning_in_a_bottle_item_concept/) with a pretty similar idea a little while ago
