User blog comment:Swordoflight2.0/Mods to draw inspiration from/@comment-25612015-20150209212320

Hello!

First of all, kudos for this nice post.

Some thoughts of the subject:

CustomNPCs: LOTR has merchants, farmers, fighting units, guards.But it lacks one thing found in the Citizens 2 bukkit plugin (an equivalent of CustomNPCs): builders. I especially like the idea of having NPC building something using a WorldEdit schematic file. The possibility to have to provide him with the building blocks reminds me of the Millenaire mod. It would be a great addition to the LOTR mod and greatly help Mevans introducing the many Points of Interest of the books.

Millénaire: One of the greatest mod ever! My kids and i, played a lot with it. It's one of the very few Minecraft additions introducing really interesting towns and villages, and quests. A little while ago i made a proposal for a crossover between it and LOTR, but alas it didn't raised much interest... Anyway, Millénaire would have to be stripped down of its historical civilizations background.

Bibliocraft: it's nice but apart from bookshelves and sword pedestals, i do not miss that many things from it. At least, LOTR has an armor stand.

Fastcraft: a nice one, although it doesn't work with Cauldron servers. It does what it does well, so there's no real need for inclusion.

I do not know the other mods you talked about.

You might want to check:

More Player Models 2: which enables you to select any NPC skin from LOTR and play with it. A good companion to the LOTR mod, as it has been said that its functionalities would never be included.

Mo'Creatures: we played a lot with this one. It's very nice but fortunately LOTR duplicates most of its creatures.

Best regards,
