Mirkwood & The Woodland Realm

-The trees of the forest were generally large and densely packed. In the north they were mainly oak, although beeches tended to predominate in the areas favoured by Elves. Higher elevations in Southern Mirkwood were "clad in a forest of dark fir".[10] Smaller plants and undergrowth in Mirkwood included lichen, ivy, fungus and "herbs with pale leaves and unpleasant smell".[11] In autumn, various plants bore edible nuts.(As mentioned in the Silmarillion & The Unfinished Tales ).Now there are only 2 types of Trees on being exclusive to the Woodland Realm. -                      -A variety of animals inhabited the forest. There were mammals such as deer, squirrels and bats, and there were numerous insects including moths, flies and unidentified nocturnal species. Pockets of the forest were dominated by giant Spiders. Some of the animals were (or included) endemic black varieties to match the mirk of the forest: for example squirrels[13] and purple emperor butterflies. -I would suggest adding some new mobs like :The Squirrels & some special Woodland Bats like vanilla Bats but greenish. And Hedgehogs. Hedgehogs are nocturnal, but gymnures are less so, and may be active during the day. They would live in simple burrows, while others construct temporary nests on the surface from Fallen Leaves and grass, or shelter in hollow logs or similar hiding places. Hollow logs would be a new block home to Squirrels & Hedgehogs. -Clearings will spawn near the Woodland Realm(still in Mirkwood Corrupted ).Woodland Elves will spawn in these Clearings .These places should contain a Mirk-Oak Table (similar to Hobbit Picnic Bences ) ,3-4 Tents arranged in a circle ,round a Campfire (A Block of Wood chopped in any kind of Crafting Table with an Axe ,like in MrCrayfish’s Furniture Mod) & hammocks a new kind of Bed that will be attached between 2 Trees or Logs.(These things are briefly described in The Hobbit ,so I think they are cannon ). The North

Snow needs a bit of tweaking : This snow will be exclusive to Middle-Earth & you will slowly sink in it like in Quagmire (it is canon : Fellowship of The Ring ,Book 2 Chapter 3 “The Ring goes South “).You will suffocate only in 3 blocks deep snow ,in 2 blocks deep snow after a certain amount of time you will Cold Damage like in Forodwaith .This could be avoided with Elvish Boots ,crafted on any type of Elvish Crafting Table with leather like normal Leather Armor. Wearing this boots will prevent you from sinking in snow (Uncannon but Legolas could walk on snow without sinking in it). Hope you Enjoy, constructive Criticism is well received !
