I have two suggestions which together are rather lengthy. I hope that Mevans is simply burnt out from the mod; in which case, perhaps a few good ideas will spark the creative mind back into action. In general, I have a brief idea for a Moria dungeon and a longer idea for ring forging.

Moria Dungeon:

The idea I have is to make a sort of a combination between the mineshafts from Vanilla Minecraft and the far harad pyramid labyrinths: similar in structure to the mineshafts with lots of complex tunnels and a wide area covered, but similar to the pyramids because it has a definite entrance and exit and definite layers. There would be distinct levels like in Utumno, but the enemies would be less powerful. The purpose of this would be to give a sort of mid-late game dungeon like Utumno, but with stakes that aren’t so high. There would be loot chests in the lowest level with gear like “Glamdring” or “Orcist”. There should be lots of hidden rooms with red-stone puzzles to get into (as is fitting for an ancient dwarf stronghold) as well as new mobs. The mines of Moria should be a good dungeon for both evil-aligned and good-aligned players, so there should be a new set of orcs, trolls, and wargs which have no alignment to other factions and are impossible to gain alignment with. The idea would be that the inhabitants of Moria at this point don’t care who or what you are; they simply want to eat you. In the lowest levels, there might be room for some additional boss-mobs (some sort of wereworm or ghastly monster, giant spiders/centipedes, Tolkien just says ancient monsters which ought not be named). There should also be just one chamber in the lowest level that houses a Balrog that spawns when you enter the chamber. But only one spawns, so there will still be good reason to enter Utumno to get a whip etc.

Ring Forging Idea:

Requirements:

1. High alignment with either an elf-faction or Mordor, let’s say 2000

2. A book of information explaining how to forge rings of power, possibly acquired by visiting a faction-specific biome after reaching the required alignment. An elf-ally would enter Eriador and be greeted by an elf (like Gandalf in the beginning) who would give the player the book.

3. A non-craftable item (let’s call it: the Heart of the Forge) that would cost lots of money to buy or be difficult to acquire through theft (killing a trader). My thoughts are to make a new dwarf trader appear occasionally in dwarf settlements in the Misty Mountains once the player reaches the required alignment. The trader could sell expensive items, including the non-craftable item necessary to build a ring-forge. The item would have to be as expensive as it would be difficult for a Mordor-ally to enter the dwarf fortress and kill the trader who would drop the item for him. The item would not drop for good-allies.

4. A multi-block ring-forge would have to be built. One section would be for fuel, another for the metals, and another for the molten metals to pour out into a cast. I envision this as working similarly to Tinker’s smeltery, but perhaps the heat of the forge will need more attention, forcing players to find ways to maximize the heat out-put of fuel.

5. A cast or mold would have to be built which would affect the kind of ring of power obtainable. Lesser rings can be forged from gold molds obtained by pouring molten gold onto a regular ring obtained by crafting; greater rings require mithril casts obtained by pouring molten mithril over lesser rings of power (thus forcing players to first dabble in lesser rings before discovering greater rings). After a mold is made, the ring used to make the mold is destroyed. After using a mold to forge a ring of power, the mold is destroyed.

6. An additional mechanic: When molten metal is poured into a ring mold, the metal passes through two stages: liquid stage where it cannot be removed from the cast, and red-hot stage where the ring is solid but too hot to hold. If the player is wearing special armor or gloves of some sort, or maybe is equipped with a special tool, he may remove the ring and bring it to a special anvil, perhaps made of elven steel or something. While the ring remains red-hot, he can place a gem stone on it and hammer it into place with a special hammer.

Alternate:

I am not a programmer, so I have no idea how possible this idea is. But this idea requires the implementation of a magic system.

Magic: The magic of Middle Earth is centered around language and commands. My idea is to add a status bar similar to health, hunger, and armor which would indicate the amount of “magic” usable by a player. This status bar would begin at zero, like armor, and could be increased by wearing certain items with enchantments or it could be more temporarily increased via potions/elixirs/brews/special food. Using magic would be reduce the amount of usable magic slots, similar to taking damage and losing hearts. Temporary magic from food would be permanently gone whereas magic from worn items would return after a period of time. The magic itself would take the form of certain magic phrases which players could learn. Perhaps players could receive magic scrolls for completing quests which could come in various tiers: some scrolls would allow a player to use a spell a finite number of times, whereas higher tier scrolls would give a player permanent knowledge of the spell. Learned spells would be viewable in a menu and some small number could be assigned hot keys for speedy use. Each spell uses a certain amount of magic, and once a player’s magic is depleted, they cannot use any more until their supply recharges.

Possible spells:

• Fire ball: basically Blaze fire-balls, but players need to sacrifice some wooden object in their hand (think Gandalf with the pine-cones).

• Ice blast: same as fire-ball, but it’s ice.

• Peace: All hostile entities within a 20 block radius of the player can no longer damage other entities

• Rage: All entities within a 20 block radius begin attacking any visible entities for a period of 5 seconds, except for the player. Other players become Slow

• Submit: All entities within a 5 block radius become tame like dogs and attack what the player attacks or sit still or simply follow the player around. Other players become Weak.

• Depart: Entities tamed via Submit command are released

• Flee: All entities within a 20 block radius will attempt to flee from the player for a period of 10 seconds. Other players become Blind.

• Drop: All entities within a 20 block radius drop their held item. If a player is forced to drop their item and an NPC picks it up, the NPC will drop it again once they are slain. Traders will drop one of their offered goods.

• Madness: All entities within a 20 block radius become puffer-fish poisoned/drunk

• Lightning: summons a bolt of lightning

• Open: a space 5 blocks wide, 4 blocks high, and 3 blocks deep in front of and centered on the player become semi-transparent and the player is able to walk through them as though they were water. All doors open.

• Weather: allows players to make weather-changing commands

• Other potion effects/temporary enchantments like haste etc.

Rings: After completing the main quest, player receives a book explaining how to Ring-craft. One requirement is to find a spell of Power, which will be used during the ring-forging. Players would be told that certain main characters in certain regions will teach them the spell for a price. This would require some new structures and mobs. An evil player might need to travel to Dol Guldur and complete some large quest for a ring wraith (like slay 150 elves and return with 20 of their heads) or a good player might need to travel to the Grey Havens and complete a large quest for Cirdan the Shipwright.

Crafting: As for the crafting itself, players would have to construct a multi-block structure: some part for melting metals, another for heating the forge, another for catching the liquid in a mold, another for scroll slots. Rings themselves would either be lesser rings: rings combined with a permanent spell scroll which would allow the player to use that given spell without draining magic, or perhaps very little magic. Perhaps lesser rings could come in different tiers and hold up to three permanent spells. Greater rings would be more limited and predetermined, but they would require a lesser ring and would assume at least one of the permanent spells of the ring it consumed. Lesser rings would have no stones, but greater rings would be determined by metal and stone used. Metal would be given by the lesser ring and the stone would be imbued with another spell which the player would have to learn from an NPC or something.

As for rings in general, I think it would be good if players could only have one ring active in their inventory. Maybe a ring slot could be added so players could wear the ring itself and be limited to the powers of the one ring they can hold at a time. Also, rings of power should require some high level of alignment to indicate that a player is strong enough to wield it. Players without the required alignment who put on a great ring should take some kind of damage. Possibly they could slowly wither away into a wraith where the colors in their game fade to black and grey and sun light blinds them more easily but darkness is less dark and they move slower and elves shine bright to them etc. Rings should also all increase the wearer’s health to some extent and give minor bonuses like speed, feather-falling, etc.

Some ideas for great rings are:

Ring of Earth:

Striking the ground produces a wave-like attack that knocks-back entities nearby.

Mining speed bonus

Right click while holding shift on an empty space creates a block of dirt/stone.

Right click while holding shift on a block of dirt/stone destroys it.

Ring of Water:

Unlimited breath under water

Water turns to ice under player’s feet. Holding shift and walking on water turns off ice feet.

Increased movement speed under water.

Night vision under water.

Ring of Fire:

Unlimited breath under lava

Lava, magma stone, and fire do not harm player

Lava turns into magma stone under player’s feet. Entering lava while holding shift turns off magma stone feet.

Lava is not opaque to player but looks like under water but orange

Ring of Air:

Creative flight

Ring of Brilliance:

Lightning strikes do not harm player

Striking the ground or an entity while holding the ring summons a lightning strike

Player can fire a purple ball like a ghast fire-ball that summons a lightning strike where it lands.

Ring of Weather:

Player can use weather-changing commands that take effect after a short period of time. (always raining, always day, always night, always stormy, always twilight) Weather changes in all the chunks within a 5-chunk radius of the player.

Weather lasts until player leaves the affected area or commands it to stop.

Perhaps the wearer could determine a specific area that always has the given weather regardless of the ring’s presence.

Ring of Strength:

Damage bonus

Knock-back bonus

Enemies are afflicted with wither effect when struck

Right + Shift click ignites any weapon held by the player on fire which burns enemies when struck. Fire remains until player switches weapon or repeats Right + Shift click.

Weapons do not use durability

Ring of the Iron Will:

health bonus

knock-back resistance

fire-resistance

extra armor

armor does not use durability

Enemies take partial damage occasionally when striking player

Ring of Wealth:

Extra mining bonus

All blocks mined have a chance of dropping a precious metal or stone. Gold is the most likely to be dropped

Fortune III or higher

Ring of Excavation:

Extra mining bonus

All blocks mined have a chance of dropping iron, coal, red stone, and other useful materials

Can mine a 3x3 square

Ring of Realms (maybe Ring of Weather could be simply merged with this one):

Player can Right click his own banner to double its protection volume

Player receives a chat alert anytime an entity enters a larger sphere surrounding his banners. What entities the player receives alerts about can be altered using commands (like: only alert when other players enter or hostile entities etc.)

Player can control the weather and day light within his banner protected areas. Weather and day light change to regular once a player leaves the realm. Ring of Weather does not affect the weather of a realm.

The One Ring:

A One Ring is inscribed with the name of the player who created it. Instead of a stone, the One Ring requires a golden lesser ring with the spell: invisible, and a block of corrupt gold: gold obtained by a spell that turns a block of gold into corrupt gold at the cost of health.

The One Ring makes the user invisible and allows him to wield the power of some number of other Great Rings found in the player’s inventory, maybe only one or two.

If a player other than the one who made the One Ring tries to use it, he will receive all of the benefits but he will have slow and weakness effects for as long as he wears it. The ring will also occasionally drop out of the player’s inventory and will teleport back to the maker if no player picks it up after a period of time, say 15 seconds. After some period of time, the player will start to receive the Wither effect for as long as it is in their inventory. All human, dwarf, and orc factions will attack the player on sight; but if the player is allied to one, the NPC will have a chance each tick of turning against the player and attacking him.

A player may slay the maker of a One Ring and the One Ring will be renamed and aligned to the one who slew the original owner.

Perhaps too the One Ring could make any scrolls with spells have unlimited use for the player.

Many factions are known for their exellent cavalry. How ever mounted units dont get anything to give them some more umpf. I think this could be accomplished by giving select mounted units fx rohirrim and swan knights either a damage boost in their stats or by giving them strength 1 somehow, fx a npc saddle could perhaps confer the effect.

Good afternoon, is it possible to be able to have a merchant buying some wine from good/evil faction?

It would make sense to be able to sell wine due to the effort put on elaborating it. I searched and it seems noone is buying it.

Can i modify some files to be able to sell it to some merchant?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Im quite annoyed by the fact that just all of the NPCs allways spawn in those clusters. Be it animals or the folks from MiddleEarth. I really wonder if you couldn't make it that there is at least single NPCs spawning around as well or that those clusters are way less 'clustered'.

I mean it seems like there is at least 5 and more of em popping up in an Area of just 10x10 Blocks while the rest of the area stays empty.

Especially in battle situations you allways have those clusters of f.e. Orcs what is kinda annoying. I would rather like to see them in small groups but also wander around alone as well to make it more interesting to explore.

Just having a better distribution of Mobs.

As it is it is just those clusters and even when spawned in they not move much around on their own but mainly stay in their group. At least at night it would be nice to also have those hostile folks spawn in more frequently around and alone just like hostile Mobs (Zombies, Skelettons, Creepers etc.) in the Vanilla game.

You could add more expensive/decorated armor sets/pieces made with gems and expensive metals. Like dwarven trimmed armor or Rohirrim marshal armor or gondorian winged helmet.

Like armor lords could wear to distinguish themselves from regular soldiers.

I love this mod and have been playing it for a while, but something has always irked me: the fact that lembas spawns on plates in the feast halls.

This doesn't make sense to me for a few reasons. First, it's bread specifically for journeys, why would they have it at a feast? Second, it's a finite resource that can only really be obtained from Valinor, so why are the elves eating it at feasts? Third, if you did have it at a feast, it would totally ruin your appetite, since you'd take one bite of lembas and you'd be full.

All in all, I don't think the elves would serve journey-bread at a feast. They saved it for, well, journeying, as the name suggests. I think it'd make sense for lembas not to spawn on plates in feast halls. Maybe it could be, like, something you could buy from merchants or quest rewards? I don't know.

"For unsummoned and unlooked for Turgon had opened the leaguer of Gondolin, and was come with an army ten thousand strong, with bright mail and long swords and spears like a forest."

While I like the armor and sword, the quote at the top of the armor page specifically says spears. I would also like a superior bow, because, elves. if the sword and armor is iconic and not going to change, I understand.

PS: as an afterthought, please add a shield for wearing full gondolinian armor with a high elf alignment.

Hello to all reading this,

I recently thought about how axes deal bonus damage to ents and that Poleaxes do not.

This would be really nice attention to detail if it were added that poleaxes deal the bonus damage to ents since they are still technically axes (albeit an extremely small detail since only Angmar and Umbar have poleaxes).

That's pretty much it for this. Although you could argue it makes Hurons less useful or makes ents slightly less strong, I would say it's an interesting edition.

We've all experienced the frustration of returning home after a march across middle-earth with our hired units only to find out that many are now missing. You saw no death message, so what could've happened? You retrack your steps and then out of nowhere they teleport to you. You realise the issue is that they got unloaded along with the chunks they were left in while you zoomed on ahead. To make sure this doesn't happen again, every now and then, you count your units to make sure all are accounted for. A very tedious and annoying task.

I propose a very simple fix to this problem.

When a user uses a horn of command, the mod goes over all the loaded entities, performing a variety of checks:

• Is this entity a LOTREntityNPC?

• Is this NPC a hireling?

• Does this hired unit belong to the player that is summoning?

• And so on.

If it passes all the checks the entity is summoned/halted/readied.

So the mod is already iterating over a list. Why not just add a variable that increments each time a valid hired unit is found? And then at the end of the function display a message of how many units were effected to chat or some other form of display.

I believe this an easy feature to implement and would save everyone time, coin and potential headaches from having to count the number of troops they have.

I really love the texture for opals as well as the other gemstones, but opals especially. I find it really sad though that there isn't really a way to decorate your base with them except via picture frame and opal blocks (which just aren't as cool as the single stone).

I would like to suggest then, a system of decorative blocks centered on gemstones and other precious metals.

I think it would be cool if a player could craft various settings for gems. For instance a basic gold setting would be four gold nuggets; it could then be craft with any gem and then able to be placed in the world. The block would be more 3-dimentional than a gem in a picture frame but still look like the single gem, just fixed in some gold. Multiple settings or additional metal items could be crafted to make larger decorative blocks like statues or jewel encrusted pillars or pillar caps. There could maybe be a way of making gem settings that give off a bit of light like the dwarven inventions that captured light in stones to be used in the mines. Or if crowns could be crafted and given gems or thrones or lanterns or other decorations. Different factions could have somewhat different variations to more closely suit the level of skill associated with a given faction. (Elves would have bright elaborate styles while orcs would be rough and dirty)

It might also be fun if gems could come in different sizes which would in turn affect how they could be used in crafting. For instance, a raw opal block could be broken and either drop one big opal, a couple medium opals, or several small opals. Larger gems could obviously be cut into small pieces but smaller ones could not be recrafted to larger ones so players would have to plan for that. Maybe specialty mining tools could be made so that there is a higher chance of larger gems.

It just seems to me that there is a lot of potential in the game's gems for some great decorations that would really add a lot of life to structures, especially castles and such.

I couldn't find any posts similar to this so I apologize if someone has already suggested this.

When I right click on mobs, as Gandalf in the starting, I only seen a green screen so I can't play at all, please help

Rangers being invisible while they're fighting is wrong, I think I'm not wrong by saying this.

Mevans himself said he wanted to change it for renewed and this is the reason why, apparently, rangers of the North and Ithilien hasn't been ported yet. I don't know if teammod has found an idea already but I think I get some which may work.

The principle of rangers is they dissimulate in the nature (so camouflage but not invisibility) and ambush the enemies where they expect the lesser.

What if there exist a raid system in the same way of the hobbit boundaries when you tresspass in the Shire or Dorwinion guards when you steal grapes? You just walk around and you have like 1 chance on 50,000 (or more if you think it's too common) to be raided in a tick by one to four or five rangers when you wander the lands they're watching. And of course, it doesn't only happen for evil players but enemy NPCs too. The one difference with boundaries raid would be rangers raid rarer to represent the fact dunedain or Ithilien people are a few compared to the hobbits, plus the fact that wild lands are huge and virtually desert so they make good places to retire and hide themselves from the enemies. (but of course, if you take a walk with your army in Ithilien, and given that each enemy has a chance to trigger a raid of rangers, you have less chance to go unnoticed and we'll be ambushed mo regularly)

Another idea is, and it's for camouflage this time, to make them virtually unseen for NPCs away of them from eight blocks range instead sixteen. So they can quietly assassinate their targets but it suffices the enemy may be inside a 8 blocks radius to see and attack them.

Mevans has been able to make an individual entity invisible in this way with players wearing a full set of galadhrim cloak so why not doing the same for a category of NPCs?

Oh. And to finish, wargs being able to sniff rangers smell and so to spot them despite their camouflage ability would be great idea either; if it's not too hard to code, of course.

Would be cool if the Renewed version features mod-specific statistics like coins traded/earned, mod-specific mob kills (other than on the faction book page) and mod-specific blocks mined/crafted/used for example.

Flax Bale and Reed bale should make campfire signals longer, just as hay bales do in vanilla.

One of the central focuses of The Lord of the Rings is its races. I would suggest that instead of factions being defined by areas, they could be defined by the race you choose. Example, elves players can be from Lórien, Rivendell, Lindon or Mirkwood. I just wish that each player could choose their own race, because the official players race are Men. Thank you for all this wonderful work.

The caracals in this mod are definitely the most fleshed out and best looking one out there. This is very selfish to ask but could there be a release of just the Caracals? The rest of the mod looks great and well put together but I'm just not into Lord of the Rings. No hard feelings and keep up the work.

Умные Npc.

Некоторые люди должны отступать (убегать) от врага если у них мало здоровья.

Если на Npc нападут слишком много врагов, они с некоторым шансом сдадутся и превратятся в рабов.(работает только на людей, кроме следопытов, главарей и 80% гондорских солдат.)

Если горит структура фракции (например деревня Гондора) то ближайшие Npc этой фракции будут искать источник воды, набирать её в ведро и идти тушить пожар. После этого они собирают воду обратно.

Если хозяин лошади убит, то игрок может приручить её заново и ездить на ней.

Пьяные Npc могут затеять драку с другими пьяными.

Нанятые Npc могут "предать" игрока если во время найма его выберет игра. Он будет сразу агресивен к игроку, но нападать будет только если у игрока мало здоровья. Предателями могут быть только люди. Также этот Npc будет принадлежать одной из фракций враждебных к игроку.

Великаны

Это идея специфическая, сложная, но интересная.

ОГРОМНЫЕ мобы с твердым хитбоксом. Очень редко появляются в Туманных горах, агрессивные друг к другу, но игрока даже не замечают. Кидаются каменным глыбами и могут наступить на игрока, сразу убив его. Я понимаю, что пока что это не появится. Просто подал идею которую придумал.

И снова о воде.

В прошлом посту не очень ясно объяснил смысл жажды. Она была бы опасностью в море, ведь там она быстрее уменьшается, а морская вода даёт эффект "жажды" (как эффект голода) и меньше насыщать игрока влагой (вода в различных хранилища будет портится, так что нельзя будет ею запасаться). Пополнять пресную воду нужно на островах, о которых я тоже писал. Так появится смысл жажды и напитков.

Фаститокалон.

Не знаете кто это? Почитайте стихи из Алой книги. Если будет жажда, понадобится заплывать на острова, значит нужен их монстр! Узнав кто это вы сами поймете его примерный функционал. Скажу только то, Что это бос который получает урон только от орудий с длинными древками (копья, алебарды и т.д), а также гарпунов. (тоже идея на очень далекое будущее)

Гендальф Серый, а не гендальф квадратное пустое место

Я уже рассказывал про его посох. Помню, мне ответили что силы были у Гендальфа, а посох был просто так.

НО.

Ведь Гендальф после перерождения взял посох у Радагаста, а не отправился без палки. Это наталкивает на мысль, что посох играет роль, хоть и малую.

Скорее всего у Гендальф будет основная линия квестов, и если это так, он должен появляется в определенных местах (чаще в Лориэне, Эриадоре, Шире, Ривенделле и реже в Гондоре,Рохане, Лихолесье, Дол-Гулдуре и т.д). Он должен атаковать троллей, орков и других злобный тварей.

Гендальф должен появляется со спутниками с именами Арагорн, Бильбо Бэггинс, Торте Дубощит и т.д Это будет интересно и весело.

Почему Гендальф один? Где другие маги? Радагаст, Саруман (не эта фигня цвета флага ЛГБТ, а нормальный маг), синие маги, Дамблдор, Грин де вальд, доктор Стрэндж, джин из Алладина, папа Карло, Алиса (из страны грибов), Гудвин в конце концов! Что за подстава!

Некромант и людские маги

На сборе магов в Хоббите, никто не верит в возрождение Саурона и спихивают всё на людских магов. Значит они есть! Они должны появляться глубоко в лесах и горах в своих хижинах. Они могут быть как злые так и добрые, а атаковать они будут различными эффектами и магическими шарами.

Кольца

1 отдельный слот для колец.

2 назгулизм. Это эффект получаемый при ношения людских колец власти. На его 1 уровне, игрок просто получает эффект силы и ночного зрения.

На 2 уровне, его скин становится чуть чуть прозрачным, он также получает силу и ночное зрение. Если на 2 фазе кольцо лежит в инвентарь, а он засыпает, кольцо надевается в слот автоматически.

На 3 фазе, он очень быстро теряет репутацию с добрыми народами и получает со злыми, имеет эффект силы 2, ночного зрения и скорости, скин становится более прозрачным. Ещё, он не может снять кольцо.

На 4 фазе к игроку становятся враждебными все добрые стороны, он полностью становится призраком, плохо видит днём, получает эффект силы 2, скорость, прыгучесть и ночное зрение.

Между каждыми фразами проходит по 6 игровых дней.

Ангмар.

Нужно добавить людей, жителей Ангмарских гор, ведь они остались после падения Короля-Чародея и жили маленькими общинами. Они должны принадлежать фракции Ангмара, но не выходить за пределы деревень.

Больше путевых точек Ангмара. Да я понимаю, что их нет, но подумайте, где то должны были быть центры в которых создавались огромные армии, продовольствие, получились ресурсы. Примеры названий: Эредж-Карас (шип город), Бауглир-Карас (тиран город), Агар-Эчад (кровавый лагерь), Гараф-Ост (крепость волка), Готс-Ост (крепость врага), Удун-Аннон (врата ада). Названия взяты с Синдарина, перевод может быть не лучший, но всё же.

Ещё было бы интересно увидеть новые структуры по типу руин в этом биоме.

Smart Npcs.

Some people have to retreat (run away) from the enemy if they have little health.

If too many enemies attack an Npc, they will give up with some chance and turn into slaves.(works only for humans, except trackers, ringleaders and 80% of Gondorian soldiers.)

If a faction structure is on fire (for example, the village of Gondor), then the nearest Npcs of this faction will look for a source of water, collect it in a bucket and go to extinguish the fire. After that, they collect the water back.

If the owner of the horse is killed, the player can tame it again and ride it.

Drunk NPCs can pick a fight with other drunks.

Hired NPCs can "betray" a player if the game chooses him during the hiring. He will be immediately aggressive towards the player, but he will attack only if the player has little health. Only people can be traitors. Also, this Npc will belong to one of the factions hostile to the player.

Giants

This idea is specific, complex, but interesting.

HUGE mobs with a solid hitbox. Very rarely appear in the Misty Mountains, aggressive to each other, but the player is not even noticed. They throw stone blocks and can step on the player, immediately killing him. I understand that it won't appear yet. Just gave me an idea that I came up with.

And again about the water.

In the last post, I did not explain the meaning of thirst very clearly. It would be a danger in the sea, because there it decreases faster, and sea water gives the effect of "thirst" (like the effect of hunger) and saturates the player less with moisture (water in various storages will deteriorate, so it will not be possible to stock up on it). You need to replenish fresh water on the islands, which I also wrote about. So there will be a sense of thirst and drinks.

Fastitocalon.

Do you know who it is? Read the verses from the Scarlet Book. If there is thirst, you will need to swim to the islands, then you need their monster! After finding out who it is, you will understand its approximate functionality yourself. I will only say that this is a bos that takes damage only from guns with long shafts (spears, halberds, etc.), as well as harpoons. (also an idea for the very distant future)

Gandalf is Grey, not Gandalf is a square empty space

I've already told you about his staff. I remember being told that Gandalf had the strength, but the staff was just like that.

but.

After all, Gandalf took the staff from Radagast after his rebirth, and did not go without a stick. This suggests that the staff plays a role, albeit a small one.

Most likely, Gandalf will have a main quest line, and if so, he should appear in certain places (more often in Lorien, Eriador, Shire, Rivendell and less often in Gondor, Rohan, Likholesye, Dol Guldur, etc.). He must attack trolls, orcs and other evil creatures.

Gandalf should appear with companions named Aragorn, Bilbo Baggins, Cake Oakenshield, etc. It will be interesting and fun.

Why is Gandalf alone? Where are the other magicians? Radagast, Saruman (not this stuff the colors of the LGBT flag, but a normal magician), blue magicians, Dumbledore, Green de Wald, Doctor Strange, Gene from Aladdin, Papa Carlo, Alice (from the land of mushrooms), Goodwin in the end! What a setup!

Necromancer and human Magicians

At the gathering of magicians in the Hobbit, no one believes in the rebirth of Sauron and shove everything onto human magicians. So they are! They should appear deep in the forests and mountains in their huts. They can be both evil and kind, and they will attack with various effects and magic balls.

Rings

1 separate ring slot.

2 nazgulism. This is the effect obtained by wearing human rings of power. At his 1st level, the player just gets the effect of strength and night vision.

At level 2, his skin becomes slightly transparent, he also gains strength and night vision. If in phase 2 the ring is in the inventory, and he falls asleep, the ring is put into the slot automatically.

In phase 3, he very quickly loses his reputation with good nations and gains with evil ones, has the effect of strength 2, night vision and speed, the skin becomes more transparent. Also, he can't take off the ring.

In phase 4, all the good sides become hostile to the player, he completely becomes a ghost, sees poorly during the day, gets the effect of force 2, speed, jumping ability and night vision.

6 game days pass between each phrase.

Angmar.

We need to add people, residents of the Angmar Mountains, because they stayed after the fall of the Sorcerer King and lived in small communities. They should belong to the Angmar faction, but not go beyond the villages.

More waypoints of Angmar. Yes, I understand that there are none, but think about it, somewhere there should have been centers in which huge armies were created, food, resources turned out. Examples of names: Erej-Karas (spike city), Bauglir-Karas (tyrant city), Agar-Echad (bloody camp), Garaf-Ost (fortress of the wolf), Gotts-Ost (fortress of the enemy), Udun-Annon (gates of hell). The names are taken from Sindarin, the translation may not be the best, but still.

It would also be interesting to see new structures like ruins in this biome.

Спасибо за внимание!

Thank you for your attention!

I would like to suggest adding to the mod that lashads will be able to beat NPCs or living people at speed and inflict certain damage on them, and the same goes for wargs, so to speak, rammed, as it was in the movie, for example, Rohan reinforcements to minastirite, how Rohan rattled horses army of mordor.

Варяги Харада.

В книгах упоминается о "варягах" которые жили на юге и враждовали с Гондором. В прошлом посту я рассказывал о кибитниках, которые живут в обозах, так почему бы не позволить "народу" всех рас жить на кораблях?

Они бы появлялись на кораблях (о них я тоже уже писал), возле Умбара чаще всего, реже в южных и восточных морях у течений далеко от Умбара, и очень редко рядом с Пералгиром*. Они бы делились на два типа: торговцы и пираты.Пираты были бы враждебных к Гондору, возможно иногда сражались за Мордор ( будто бы им заплатили), а к игроку были бы агрессивны. Торговцы были бы нейтральными и продавали игроку разные вещи, связанные с морем и дальним южными и восточными странами. Возможно, они могли бы "подвести" вас за плату. То есть они телепортировали игрока к самому близкому берегу к точке которую выбрал игрок. Вроде это всё, что я хотел про них рассказать.

Рохиррим.

Как известно люди Рохана раньше жили у Лихолесья, в основном в восточной излучине. Может добавить таких жителей относящиеся к фракции Рохана, но чуть чуть другого вида, меньше ездящих на лошадях и более диких.

Восточная излучина.

Нужно сделать там меньше деревьев, больше пеньков и жилища рохиррим.

А чем питаются твари Утумно?

Откуда они берут еду? Может сделать им загоны для свинок?

Эльфы - скитальцы.

Предлагаю добавить эльфов - скитальцев, которые будут ходить у берегов средиземья, петь и не сражаться, а убегать от врагов (если их много) и слабо защищаться если враг один или их два. Они могли бы продавать некоторые эльфийские вещи и играть музыку на арфах и свирелях.

Музыкальные инструменты.

Нужно добавить музыкальные инструменты, у каждой фракции были свои музыкальные инструменты и мирные жители могли играть на них когда были бы не заняты. Возможно знаменосцы трубили бы в рога перед боем. Примеры инструментов: свирели, арфы (эльфийские, людские), рога (из рыбной кости, из рога носорога, из рога быка Оромэ, из меди), скрипки, бубны (для шаманов Харада) и т.д. Они бы отличались друг от друга звучанием. Возможно на них можно было бы включать уже записанную музыку которая играла бы по разному (такое было в каком то моде на древнюю Грецию).

Шаманы Харада

Чуть чуть отходит от канона, но было бы прикольно видеть людей с бубнами танцующих вокруг костра. Возможно они бы сражались в вторжениях Харада, накладывая на врагов различные плохие эффекты.

Умертвия, вековечный лес и новый эффект.

Эффект сонливость.

Этот эффект накладываясь на игрока замедляет его, уменьшает его урон и скорость копания блоков. Его нельзя убрать молоком. Чтобы его снять нужно поспать. Он накладывается после того как игрок не спит больше 3 ночей, или идёт рядом с речкой Ветлянкой, или идёт в могильниках. С этим эффектом можно спать и ночью и днём.

В могильниках.

Если игрок поспит в могильниках, он окажется в ближайшем склепе. Рядом появится три умертвия

В вековечном лесу.

Если игрок заснет там, он проснется в воде, а его будет держать "корень". Надо убить его что бы не задохнутся и выплыть.

Гворны.

Гворнам нужно убрать лица и они будут атаковать игрока подставляя ему корни (полу мобы, которые будут замедляеть игрока и наносить пол сердечка урона, будто бы игрок спотыкается) или скидывая на него ветви, которые будут падать из листвы нанося игроку урон. Главное не атаковать их, иначе они будут ещё злее, и вы потеряете репутацию с Фангорном.

Водичка, водичка.

Может быть добавить потребность в воде? Нет, не так как в других мода, когда ты пьёшь каждую минуту, а очень медленную потребность в воде, например пить надо два раза в игровой день. Она будет влиять на скорость бега и регенерацию и теперь напитки станут важной частью выживания. Всё таки мы стараемся максимально приблизить майнкрафт к Арде! (если что это мир в котором происходят все события из книг Толкина)

Может добавить вывески? Что-то по типу больших табличек, которые можно красить красителями, вставлять в них предмет, который будет виден, и писать текст.

БОЛЬШЕ МОБОВ

Надо как то разнообразить биомы, а то некоторые их них слишком похожи друг на друга. Для примера есть такие существа как: змеи, новые волки, горные бараны, еноты, рыси, ежи, белки, лоси, выдры, туры, яки, совы, орлы, гуси, утки, летучие мыши - вампиры, косули, черепахи, фазаны, сурки,моржи, тюлени, медузы, киты, скумбрии, сельди, тунцы, акулы, альбатросы, кальмары, осьминоги, скаты, бобры, куропатки, горностаи, тетерева, соколы, пещерные рыбы.

Varangians of Harada.

The books mention the "Varangians" who lived in the south and were at enmity with Gondor. In the last post I talked about Wainriders who live in wagons, so why not let the "people" of all races live on ships?

They would appear on ships (I have already written about them too), near Umbar most often, less often in the southern and eastern seas near currents far from Umbar, and very rarely near Pelargir. They would be divided into two types: traders and pirates.Pirates would be hostile to Gondor, perhaps sometimes fought for Mordor (as if they were paid), and they would be aggressive towards the player. Merchants would be neutral and would sell the player various things related to the sea and the far southern and eastern countries. Perhaps they could "let you down" for a fee. That is, they teleported the player to the closest shore to the point that the player chose. It seems that's all I wanted to tell you about them.

Rohirrim.

As you know, the people of Rohan used to live near the Forest, mainly in the eastern bend. He can add such residents belonging to the Rohan faction, but a little bit of a different kind, less riding horses and more wild.

The eastern bend.

We need to make fewer trees, more stumps and rohirrim dwellings there.

And what do the creatures eat Utumno?

Where do they get their food from? Can I make them pig pens?

The wandering elves.

I suggest adding wandering elves who will walk along the shores of Middle-earth, sing and not fight, but run away from enemies (if there are many of them) and defend themselves weakly if there is one or two enemies. They could sell some elven stuff and play music on harps and pipes.

Musical instruments.

We need to add musical instruments, each faction had its own musical instruments and civilians could play them when they were not busy. Perhaps the standard-bearers would have blown their horns before the battle. Examples of instruments: pipes, harps (elven, human), horns (made of fish bone, rhinoceros horn, Orome bull horn, copper), violins, tambourines (for Harada shamans), etc. They would differ from each other in sound. Perhaps they could include already recorded music that would play differently (this was in some fashion in ancient Greece).

Shamans of Harada

It deviates a little from the canon, but it would be fun to see people with tambourines dancing around the campfire. Perhaps they would have fought in Harad's invasions, putting various bad effects on the enemies.

Death, the eternal forest and a new effect.

The effect is drowsiness.

This effect, superimposed on the player, slows him down, reduces his damage and the speed of digging blocks. It cannot be removed with milk. To remove it, you need to sleep. It is imposed after the player does not sleep for more than 3 nights, or goes next to the Vetlyanka River, or goes to the burial grounds. With this effect, you can sleep at night and during the day.

In the burial grounds.

If the player sleeps in the burial grounds, he will be in the nearest crypt. Three wights will appear nearby

In the eternal forest.

If the player falls asleep there, he will wake up in the water, and he will be held by the "root". It is necessary to kill him so as not to suffocate and swim out.

The Gworns.

The Gworns need to remove their faces and they will attack the player by substituting roots for him (half mobs that will slow down the player and cause half a heart of damage, as if the player stumbles) or throwing branches on him that will fall from the foliage causing damage to the player. The main thing is not to attack them, otherwise they will be even angrier, and you will lose your reputation with Fangorn.

Water, water.

Maybe add the need for water? No, not like in other mods, when you drink every minute, but a very slow need for water, for example, you need to drink twice a game day. It will affect running speed and regeneration and now drinks will become an important part of survival. After all, we are trying to bring minecraft as close to Arda as possible! (if anything, this is the world in which all the events from Tolkien's books take place)

Maybe add signage? Something like large plates that can be painted with dyes, insert an object into them that will be visible, and write text.

MORE MOBS

It is necessary to diversify the biomes somehow, otherwise some of them are too similar to each other. For example, there are such creatures as: snakes, new wolves, mountain sheep, raccoons, lynxes, hedgehogs, squirrels, moose, otters, tours, yaks, owls, eagles, geese, ducks, vampire bats, roe deer, turtles, pheasants, marmots, walruses, seals, jellyfish, whales, mackerel, herring, tuna, sharks, albatrosses, squid, octopus, stingrays, beavers, partridges, ermines, grouse, falcons, cave fish.
