LOTR Mod doesn't use a whole lot of Vanilla stuff anyways, and most "cool" stuff from newer versions would not even exist/be obtainable in Middle Earth. And as Bottercot pointed out above, LOTR Mod already adds most cool things that minecraft added in 1.8-1.13. Then there's compatability. I myself have never had forge work successfully with any version above 1.8. 1.7 is the tried and true version for mods, which is most likely why most poular mods are still using 1.7.10.

That's just my opinion. YES. FINALLY SOMEONE GETS ME!!! I keep saying this all the time: I do not play Minecraft. I don't even like Minecraft. I play LOTR Mod. I feel the same, I’m pretty sure many people feel the same way. Minecraft is not a good game. The LotR Mod, in combination with MC, is. I wouldn't go as far as to say Minecraft is a bad game. It is still one of the best games ever to be created. I enjoy it thoroughly, especially multiplayer or on servers such as Hypixel. Lotrmod definitely improves the game in many ways, but it's still Minecraft at its core.

In the lotr mod, things really havent changed all that much from normal minecraft. Think about it. You still need to gather materials, make armor, mine, craft, build a base, etc. If the LOTR mod was its own game, everyone would say its minecraft with a different setting. If you like the lotr mod, you have to like minecraft. The lotr mod adds to the game, and is not supposed to be a game in and of itself. Minecraft has many things to offer that the lotr mod doesnt improve on, like minigames and redstone.
