Maps:

Maps in minecraft have always been kind of boring so one thing that would be cool to add would be a Middle Earth/Arda Map. It would be crafted the same way as a map normally is, but using leather instead of paper (as a substitute for parchment, or a whole new item could be added for parchment... probably obtained simply from putting leather in a crafting table). When the map is opened it would show the map that Tolkien drew, and probably have a small dot on it to represent the player, or simply a bar in the corner that shows the coordinates of the player.

Another map type would be a Shire map. It would be crafted on a hobbit crafting table and would basically be a map of the entire Shire but that is all because as said by Bilbo, the maps made in the shire usually only show white space beyond its borders.

(Yes I do understand the menu has a map but this would simply be a cool little feature. Or as something to make the game more realistic, upon entering each biome, you would obtain a "Map piece" for that certain biome, and eventually all the pieces could be put together to make the full Ea map. So starting off with the shire map and having everything else be white space, as you travel you would add more pieces to your map).

Clothing:

A small part of the suggestion but still I like the idea... Hobbit cloaks should be added to the mod. They could be bought from a hobbit bartender or they could be crafted using leather on a hobbit crafting table. They would use the same recipe as a chestplate and could either be put in the chestplate slot or a new slot could be made so you can wear a cloak over top of your armor. They could also be dyed different colors. The cloak could give the player some sort of buff but I have not worked that out yet (or they could just serve the same purpose as hats, to look cool).

Weapons:

The only idea I have right now is kind of a maybe and just a cool easter egg but black arrows. black arrows would not be craftable (or they could but would have to have an expensive recipe) and would be obtained rarely in chest in dale or from trading for a high price with a dalish blacksmith. They would only be able to be fired from a longbow (unless that is a little annoying for players) and would do more damage than regular arrows say +2 damage bonus (overall when fired from a dalish longbow making it a +2.5 damage bonus (can be altered).

That is all for now, If more ideas come to mind I will add them. Thanks.
