Regions



The LOTR mod uses the work of J.R.R. Tolkien to map out the great biomes of Middle Earth. All the main biomes are present in the correct place on a 1:20 scale with the original work. Sub biomes can replace their main biome randomly to add more variation and discrepancies to the landscape.

The mod uses its own biome list instead of expanding on the vanilla list. This will prevent compatibility problems and allows more different biomes than the vanilla list is limited to. Prior to Beta 22, this list was limited to 256 biomes in the Middle-Earth dimension, but, as of January 6, 2014, Mevans has announced that he can add even more biomes to Middle-Earth, should that be needed.

Below are maps of Middle-Earth and its surrounding regions in the mod as of Public Beta 19.2. The numbers on the maps correspond to the numbers on the list of biomes in the next section. Numbers in parentheses are sub-biomes that are not represented by a different color on the maps, and therefore most likely spawn randomly in their parent biome. Regions not listed on the maps are regular rivers, lakes, stone beaches, beaches, gravel beaches, Dol Guldur (which is found in southwest Mirkwood), and unknown biomes.
