I have various suggestions (like, tons) for the Middle-Earth Dimension, but here's a list pertaining to what is considered Western Civilizations.

1. Fireflies – A passive, Butterfly like mob. They wouldn't drop anything when killed and would glow similarly to Lothlorien Butterflies. They would be catchable in Butterfly Jars and would provide faint light sorce. They would spawn in the Shire, Eriador, the Lone-Lands, Bree-land, the Old Forest, the Trollshaws, Lindon, Islands, Blue Mountain and Misty Mountain Foothills (not the actual mountains), Enedwaith, Eregion, Dunland, Swanfleet, Fangorn (not wastelands), Rohan (not highlands), Gondor (And Subregions other than Ithilien Wasteland), Mouths of Anduin and Entwash, Anduin Regions, Lothlorien, Gladden Fields, Grey Mountain Foothills, Northern Mirkwood, Woodland Realm, Wilderland, the Iron Hills, and possibly Midgewater.

2. Butterfly Plants – A special bush that would be found in Lindon, Eregion, Lothlorien, and Fangorn. They would act as a spawner of Butterflies, spawning 1 every minute or so.

Candles

I know candles have been requested/suggested quite a bit, but I figured I would put my two cents of how it would be possible.

3. Bayberry Bushes – A berry producing bush similar to Cranberry and Blueberry Bushes. They would produce Bayberries, which could be eaten by itself, turned into juice, used to make Berry Pie, and perhaps most importantly, used to to create Wax. Wax would be makable with 3 Bayberries on a normal crafting table. (NOTE: Wax would also be obtainable from Bees when they are added. I felt like this would be a fun take on getting wax though.)

4. Candles – A light emiting block that would be crafted on a normal crafting table with a piece of wax topped with a piece of string. They would all start off white, but would be craftable into any of the remain 15 color. A tall veriety would be makeable by stacking 2 waxes and placing a string on top of the stack. This would also start off white and would be colorable to any of the remaining 15 colors. Candles can be placed on top of any block, but not on the sides of any.

5. Candle Sticks – A holding block to make Candles more refined. They would be crafted by any metal (obviously metals such as Dwarven Steel requiring their respective Crafting Table) using an ingot with a row of ingots above it. They would also only be able to be placed on top of blocks. To place a Candle (either a normal or tall one) in one, you would simply click the block with the candle desired in hand.

6. Candelabra – Another fancy holding blok to make Candles more refined. The would similarly be made by any metal, simply taking 5 Candles Sticks of the same material and putting them into a helmet shape, placing an ingot in the hollow space. They would use a simple interface with 4 slots in the cardinal dirrections and one in the center of all of them. All of the slots would accept any Candle (Tall or normal), while visually the 4 Cardinal spots would be at the same height, while the center one would be slightly higher.

7. Candle Wall Mount – A special candle holding block that, as it's name suggest, would allow candles to hang on the wall. They would be available with any metal type and would be made with 2 wooden slabs on top of each other and right beside it a Candle Stick toped with a piece of Glass. Theoretically, at least the basic metals (Iron, Bronze, Mithril), would be able to have wood specific varieties, but obviously that would be a lot of smaller bloks with little diffrence. The would only accept normal Candles (which would be placeable like the Candle Sticks).

NOTE: When using metals like Dwarven Steel, those Candle Sticks, Candelabras, and Candle Wall Mounts would be called Dwarven Candle Sticks, Blue Dwarven Candelabras, High Elven Candle Wall Mounts, and etc.

Other

Ideas that fit in with the previous suggestions, and I felt should be suggested with them.

8. Bushel Baskets – A storage block specificly to hold Raw Foods. This would include Apples, Pears, Conkers, Potatoes, and Cranberries. A Basket would be able to hold 9 stacks of a single food type. They would naturally spawn in groups of 2 or 3, partially filled, in Orchards similarly to how Ent Jars do in Fangorn. They would be crafted on a Hobbit Crafting Table and would be made with 6 wooden planks in a trapdoor patern with 2 iron ingots on the left and right slot of the top row.

9. Hobbit Banner – I'm not just going to ask for one, but I have an actual Idea for this. The Banner would primarily be green. The top would host a blue sky, and the Horizon would be 2 hills. The Linework would be Golden. In the center of the green space would a 4 Leaf Clover, the main part still green, the Clover's linework being Gold.

10. Additional Banner Request – Obviously at the time of the Mod, the Elven kingdom of Eregion and the Dwarven kingdoms of Moria and the Grey Mountains were long gone, but they're still common builds/factions on LotR Servers. My main request would be adding Banners for these 3 kingdoms. For Eregion, you could place a red dye next to the wool of the Banner recipe for High Elven Banners to create the Eregion Banner, Grey Dye with the Blue Mountains Banner, and Grey Dye with the Durin's Folk Banner for the Grey Mountains. These would help create better accuracy for builds in these regions/would be a kind extra to add for the factions on LotR servers.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">11. Fangorn Vase – A stone block vase that would be a nice decorative block to represent Fangorn. It would hold 7 slots (one for each Fangorn Flower). This would allow the displaying of each Fangorn Flower, some of which just don't look good in a flower pot. It would be crafted on a Rohan Crafting Table (due to there being no Fangorn Crafting Table, and there not really needing to be one) with 7 Stone blocks in a Caldron Shape.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%">I hope you all enjoyed this list of jumbled up, lossly connected suggestions. Feel free to discus diffrent crafting recipes, diffrent executions of these ideas, and etc. <ac_metadata title="Small Western Suggestions"> </ac_metadata>
