This is wrong. Llama do exist I suspect, however, one eyed fish who shoot lasers are most definably uncannon.

Mevans can add all these things eventually, we just have to be patient and wait, why are so many people impatient? Updates will come in time that will fix bugs and put things into the mod.

Most things in the new Minecraft don't belong in the lotr mod. Even if Mevans updates, these things probably won't go into the mod, only things like dual wielding and shields.

So, to put this short, please be patient, wait, and remember that this mod may update, but only if Mevans wants it to. Thank you. Why would Mevans have to add this things from vanilla? This mod is about LOTR, i wish people would stop pestering Mevans with such silly demands and let him focus on what is important, which is fleshing out the world of Middle Earth, there is still so much missing from it, every demand for polar bears and foxes takes attention away from dragons, wizards and cities. If you want features from vanilla go play vanilla, nothing is stopping you from making a new world with 1.15 setup. I seriously think sometimes people take this whole LOTR thing vs vanilla way too seriously, as if it's some kind of competition, Mevans is just one guy, there is no way he could keep pace with the entire studio, so let him focus on what the mod is supposed to be about and stop with the unrealistic demands. Mevans decided not to update to 1.8 because it was borderline impossible with how big the mod was at that point, and since then it only got harder, mod expanded a bunch since then and there have been like 8 or 9 MC versions since then, each of which made changes to the source code. At this point if Mevans wanted to update he would probably need to start from scratch and would only be able to use the assets, so in all likelyhood it's not happening. That was a purely practical decision, it was not because Vanilla suxx like some people on this forum want to proseletize, it's because it's either a mod on 1.7.10 or no mod at all. So please, drop the whole LOTR vs vanilla thing, it's not helping anyone and it'splitting the community in two. It's the way it is because it can't be any other way, one day when the mod is completely finished Mevans may or may not decide to create a version for the current version of MC that will be active then, but until that time this discussion is moot.
