User blog comment:LOTRMod/Why hasn't the mod updated to 1.8 yet?/@comment-174.124.97.65-20160807021754/@comment-26020061-20161228190728

1. Just download Fastcraft...

2. That undermines the whole combat system that we have. One of the perks of usin a sword is that other weapons can't block, yet the sword can. We don't need a better combat system, we made one ourselves.

3. Enchanting has been removed from middle earth, already diamonds do not spawn in ME.

4. We have our own cool blocks and as time passes, we will make even more.

5. Skin customization? You would recode the entirety of the LotR mod for skin customization?

6. As far as I know, F3 already does something inside the mod.

7. This is the only solid reason on this list. But generally people don't stumble into this mod. If you wanted to play a LotR mod, you would search it up and once you saw what was in it, you wouldn't care what update it was, you would play it

8. Personally, it already is.

A good day to you, and may the west wind ever blow at your back,
