Hey there, anyone know if it's possible to remove the Middle-earth dimension as a whole to reduce the Mod's size and only use its blocks and such?

Hi there! my name is kennedy and recently i decided to start working on an add-on to the mod, however I have a problem, you see I would like to be able to add new biomes and factions but I can't figure out how to do so? so if anyone could help me that would be amazing thank you!

Hey people, in the last Traiuler of the Amazon Series of LOTR Rings of Power there is a balrog at the finish of the trailer, what do you think? Is the Durin's Bane, or maybe a balrog from the War of Wrath in the finish of First Age?

The Durin's Bane wasn't awaked until middle Third Age... but it seems that in the trailer there is several mithril veins in the cave as the leaf is falling to the depths before incinerate...

Other thought is that the Balrog could be a Balrog from the First Age, because the Valar trees appears at the beginning... so maybe is a balrog in the siege of Goldolin maybe... what do you think?

If you have played the mod, you may have known that occasionally, a neutral type of trader known as the 'Oddment Collector' appears. You can sell a variety of random detritus to him, and buy some...interesting meat, along with some Shire flowers.

What could possibly be evil about that! Just a man trying to survive, not allying with the Dark Tower or the White. True neutrality.

Or so it seems.

Even I would not be suspicious of these wandering folk, if it did not so happen that these 'beings' did not dwell in the depths of Hell...the first fortress of Melkor/Morgoth in the Deeps of Time, Utumno!

The dialogue of the Oddment Collectors there gives away some terrifying implications, and reveals the true nature of these detestable creatures!

"I'm planning to steal the Star of Earendil. Don't tell anyone!"

This proves that these beings actively lust for the Light of the Silmarils, and may have the capability to steal them!

"Ah, I remember this place back when they still called it Utumna."

As shown here, these are creatures that have a very long lifespan, even bypassing pre-canonical versions of the legendarium! As such, they must be interwoven within the fabric of reality!

"I'll see you down on the fourth level."

A uneducated observer would think that this means the overworld. But nay, if Utumno is essentially Hell, than that means that the fourth level is a far more ancient and foul place: Kuma, the Abyss! Also, like Melkor/Morgoth, they wish to destroy everything down to nothing, and expect to see our fea there.

These, along with many other sayings that profess that there is something amiss here, prove that Oddment Collectors are far, far more dangerous than even SAURON!

But...what are they?

If Tom Bombadil was a good being that arose out of the Music of the Ainur, than these are creatures, like the Nameless Things that gnaw at the roots of Ambar, that arose out of the Discord of Melkor! They still roam the earth today, plotting their return.

If we go even further, it could be argued that they emerged out of the Primeval Multiversal Source of Evil, the True Abyss. As such, they are manifestations...of a Multi-Universal malice that controls ALL! Melkor, Sauron, Lucifer? Pawns! The Evil Djinn, Yog-Shoggoth, Nyarlathotep? Nothing! THE FREAKING SCARLET KING?! A MOTE OF COSMIC ASH! I AM THE DEVOURER OF ERU'S LIGHT, THE NUCLEAR CHAOS, THE ANTI-GOD, THE FIRST EVIL! WHEN THE LIGHT OF CREATION WAS SPOKEN INTO BEING, A SHADOW WAS CAST! I AM THAT VOID! I AM IN EVERYTHING OVER EVERYTHING UNDER EVERYTHING IN EA! BOW, YE MIGHTY GODS, AND DESPAIR-

Uh, hello? Sir? Sir? Great Scott, get this guy to a hospital! He was writing something on his laptop, and then he passed out! Wha-he's smoking! What is going on here?!

Allow for me to share my tale of woe!

One sunny day, I was riding towards Lindon by way of the wild lands of Eriador. I was just crossing a river when I heard it...

An invasion had begun...

This was not just any invasion; this was an Angmar invasion! And right next to me, no less!

I retreated from the scene on my horse, but soon dismounted and prepared to get some good alignment and loot. I thrust with my Blue Dwarven spear and chopped with my Iron sword at every Orc I came across. But when the hordes began to overwhelm me, I fell back to the other side of the river...

And then... it came again...

Twice more horns sounded, and twice more floating weapons appeared, now blocking off my escaoe route. Another Angmar invasion, and a Gundabad invasion!

I returned to the first invasion and slew the enemy until they stopped spewing forth, before returning to the new forces. I fought tooth and nail against them, and I may have even won...

But events took a dark turn...

Distracted as I was, I did not notice the Warg Bombardier until it was too late (and, to be honest, I forgot they existed)...

And so I fell... all my equipment taken by the forces of darkness... all due to the most absurd enemy in the mod...

But tell me, what was your saddest touch with death in the mod? Turned into a pin-cushion by Rangers? Thrown into a lava pit by that one Gundabad Orc? Killed by Dwarves after accidentally hitting one?

Share your tales of woe below!

DANGER! NON-CANON CONTENT APPROACHING! DANGER OF HEAD EXPLODING FROM RAGE!

I would like to present and promote to you a mod with siege machines made by a few people from the Magistu team.

Current

ly the mod is a beta version specifically there are such machines as - Catapult, Trebuchet, Ballista, Mortar, and Battering Ram.

Each of them has wonderful animations and sounds, although the Battering Ram has no sound yet because it came out today.

Mod of course is early and there are a few things that need to be fixed and even more to be added but I would like you to keep an eye on this mod if you like such atmospheres especially for version 1.16.5 on which mod LOTR updated is also found.

Here you have also link to download mod. I also recommend to see his other modification Epic Knights. You can also find there the entrance to their discord to follow their work on mods.

Additionally, there will a modifier that will be applicable to all types (havent gotten a good name) that will give positive effects to allies and/or negative effects to enemies when used.

Just a normal day in the LOTR Mod Renewed, using magic rings (data packs) to kill naturally-spawned Orcs in Mordor.

I'd display the water ring, but water doesn't help much in combat.

So I was just wondering how you came by this mod, its pretty self explanatory.

-Horus

I'd like to introduce you to a great mod called Small Ships that has been developing well lately! This is a mod that adds new ship types like Galleys, Drakkars, Briggs etc. Also, this mod is compatible with our mod so if someone would like to make rotten, charred or even Mallorn there would be no problem.

Maybe for others these are not the ships they would like in the LOTR mod itself, but in my opinion they are really well made, the models themselves and even the sound and animation are just great. Anyway, each of these ships has its own specialty, eg Drakkars can destroy ice at sea or, depending on the type of ship, have different storage space, speed, durability or data capacity for NPCs and players on these boats.

The modification itself is supported only for version 1.16.5 and I recommend subscribing to his youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgkOMeGuHt8 and follow this good mod also on https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/small-ships

The mod is great, but there's a lot that the mod is missing. This is definitely the best suggestion to help with the development process.

Here are a few great ideas:

Don't make major structures in the future, people can just download genstructures. They should just spawn randomly where coordinates are! Minas Tirith spawning in Mordor will be so much fun!

The map is too cumbersome, going back to the classic generation is better. Think about how surprising not knowing what the next biome is going to be!

April Fools day needs to be permanent. The changes that occur are so much better than usual.

Who needs those complicated faction systems? Just group them under species! Elves, dwarfs, good men, evil men, orcs, etc...

Add Gandalf. And don't give me that crap about him already being added.

BRING BACK SAURON.

Make all trolls Shrek.

Add portals to the second age, not the first. Who wants to go back to such primitive times?

Canon characters should randomly spawn. Think of how exiting it will be to randomly encounter Gimlis or Legolases while walking through the wild!

Frodo should spawn on Meneltarma as a boss fight. Oh, and bring back

Numenor. It didn't really sink, it was propaganda made by Sauron to prevent free peoples from getting aid from the Faithfull.

Gobins should be spilt from orcs. "Uh, Gorthang, their the same thing..." WHO CARES! The movies were better than the books.

Mithril should spawn everywhere. It's not like we know it didn't.

Renewed should be cancelled. All the new things are scary.

Hobbits should speak like valley girls.

All continents should be added. New lands, Dark lands, Land of the Sun and maybe Aman! Who cares about the new lands being where Aman is. The devs will get them both in. Trust the science.

Add coronavirus, masks and social distancing between NPCs.

These are very good suggestions that need to be added.
