Note: I am trying to play LOTR in Single player mode on a Mac.
I have installed the LOTR mod for Minecraft 1.16.5 and Forge version 1.16.5-36.1.0. These two files are compatible with each other.
But for some unknown reason when I join Middle Earth, the Grey Wanderer does not appear, I do not see any hobbits in the Shire, nor do I see any hobbit holes.
The only structures that are generated are the pyramids with various crafting tables. Because of this, I cannot gain any alignment points as there are no NPCs to kill or give me quests.
I’ve tried playing this game on survival mode without cheats, and yet the mod still doesn’t spawn any NPCs.
I have had difficulty installing and running the Forge 1558 for Minecraft 1.7.10, which is the recommended one, so maybe this is only a problem in the 1.16.5 version of the mod.
I tried opening Forge 1558 for Minecraft 1.7.10, on both Windows and Mac however my computer always told me that there was an error every time I tried to open the installer and get the client version of Forge.
