I see no advantage to updating. There are numerous clashes between the Mod and Minecraft that would take place.

I greatly prefer the lotrmod combat system to the post-1.9 combat, so I would be very sad to see the lotrmod change that.

Likewise, I see few things that would be advantageous to have in the newer versions. 1.8 added banners and other decoration which lotrmod doesn't need. 1.9 changed combat and I prefer the lotrmod combat system. 1.10 added... what, polar bears? Nothing notable in relation to the lotrmod, in my opinion. 1.11 added a bunch of mobs and items all for a super rare structure that few people actually care to search for. 1.12 added colorful stuff, concrete and a stick. 1.13 added actual cool stuff (for once), such as a trident which the lotrmod already has, fish mobs which the lotrmod already has, sea plants which the lotrmod already has, and underwater ruins which the lotrmod already has.

My opinion? Meh, 1.7 is fine by me.
