Legacy Renewed
Resource packs are files that can contain textures and sounds that change default mod assets. There are several reasons for creating a resource pack, including creating armour/weapons that look more like those in Peter Jackson’s films, more like the author's preferences, or making more lore-friendly textures.
Listed below are all the current resource packs available for the Legacy version of the mod:
Resource Packs[]
Immersion[]
Authors: Quin
Available Resolutions: 32x
Pack Version: alpha_7.0-36
Mod Version: Update 36.14
Last Update: 2 August 2022
Wiki Pack Page: Resource Packs/Immersion
Description:
This Resource pack aims to bring the LotR mod to a higher level of detail, by increasing the resolution of and expanding on all vanilla and LotR mod blocks, though it will eventually include textures for items and mobs. Currently, the resource pack is only being developed at a 32x resolution, and is in mid alpha. The pack will not provide a seamless experience yet, but can still be enjoyed, and already includes over 550 total textures, and all vanilla blocks.
The next step for the pack is its beta 1 release, which will include all block textures both found and crafted in The Shire, so as to allow a complete experience for anyone who remains within The Shire.
A pack changelog can be found here
NATURAL BLOCKS SUPPORTED! The latest update features an almost complete pack retexture, and as such it also now supports natural blocks. If you have used a previous version of the pack, you can now re-enable it in the LotR mod config. It can be found from the title screen under Mods -> The Lord of the Rings Mod -> config -> Environment & World.

Last Update: 18 June 2020
Wiki Pack Page: N/A
Description:
Have you ever struggled to find the hobbit that blew that smoke ring in the... Oh wait, that's a... new moon?
In real life, even when possible, it is very difficult to see a halo around a new moon with the naked eye. However, in the LotR mod, the new moon halo is very visible. BetterMoon Lotr rectifies this discrepancy by removing the halo around the new moon.

It can be somewhat disappointing to put on an orcish helmet, only to realize that the eye sockets don't align with your eyes. "Orcish Helmets for Human Eyes" eliminates this issue by expanding the eye sockets for compatibility with both human and orcish eye alignment. Here is a list of the affected textures:
- Angmar Helmet
- Black Uruk Helmet
- Dol Guldur Helmet
- Mordor Orc Helmet
- Uruk Helmet
- Utumno Orc Helmet

Golden Nargothrond[]

Wiki Pack Page: N/A
Description:
FOR THE FIRST AGE SUBMOD ONLY
A simple texture pack that recolours the predominantly forest-green and yellow colour scheme of Nargothrond to a gold and silver one, as the House of Finarfin's primary colour was gold. Of course, as this is just a recolour I made in less than a day, and all of the credit goes to the Eras of Arda team.
Speech Bank Packs[]
Amazing Orc Names[]
Authors: Hûkrag
Available Resolutions: N/A
Pack Version: N/A
Mod Version: Update 34
Last Update: 24 March 2019
Wiki Pack Page: N/A
Description:
Are you tired of seeing Shagbegs as you walk the streets of Goblin Town? Detest seeing Mauums (happened to me) on your journey to Lugburz? Well, this changes all of that! Now your orcs can have special prefixes, so you'll be seeing Yubnaks, Skorzshas, and Dukshoshs going to war soon! Suffixes are now ready.
Installation Instructions:
To install this pack, you need to merge the files with the LotR mod assets. First, download the pack, then open the LotR mod directory in 7-zip or WinRar, and go to the LotR mod. Go to assets, then lotr, then names, and then uncompress this pack. Take the document, and without editing it in any way (unless you want to add more orc prefixes and/or suffixes), move it into the names file. It will ask you if you want to update this file, so accept, and then you will have your new orc names!
Note:
This pack does not work online, unless the host has the resource pack installed.

Respect the Boss[]
Authors: Dragonovith
Available Resolutions: N/A
Pack Version: N/A
Mod Version: Beta 33
Last Update: 1 August 2017
Wiki Pack Page: N/A
Description:
Do you have thousands of alignment points with Mordor? Is the mere pronunciation of your name enough to spread fear and despair among the free peoples of Middle-earth? It doesn't matter if the answer to these questions is yes or no, the Orcs of Mordor will still treat you like a stinking and worthless maggot! This resource pack aims to change that.
With this pack, the orcs of Mordor will treat you more respectfully—after all, you're a death machine, a herald of chaos and destruction! If you like roleplaying, I suggest that you install this pack after you get more than +1000 alignment points with Mordor.
Installation Instructions:
To install this pack you will need to combine the pack's "assets" folder with the LotR mod's "assets" folder. To do this, open Respect the Boss.zip and LOTRMod v34.3.jar with a program like WinRar or 7-Zip, then drag the "assets" folder from Respect the Boss.zip to LOTRMod v34.3.jar's root folder.
Note:
This pack does not work online, unless the host has the resource pack installed.
Shadow of War-style Orc Names + Dialogue[]
Authors: Menelmindon
Available Resolutions: N/A
Pack Version: 1.0
Mod Version: Update 36.15
Last Update: 16 March 2023
Wiki Pack Page: N/A
Description:
For being possibly the most interesting race in Middle-Earth, orcs feel shallow and very unnoteworthy. This pack aims to rectify this by giving each orc, uruk, and half-troll a coherent name and a title to go along with it, breathing a tiny, yet desperately needed, hint of fresh air into your endless orc armies/enemies by giving them a smidgen of backstory or personality through their titles, ripped straight from the Middle-Earth game series. Pillage the free peoples with your trustworthy companion Krimp the Stupid or watch the cowardly tarks of Gondor run away from the might of Hoshgrish Blood-Storm! And never forget to keep an eye on that sneaky Uthûg the Unloyal...
This changes the default possible number of orc name combinations from 2091 to 74700, so don't expect to run into the same orc twice!
This pack also includes 82 new lines of dialogue for all normal orcs and their chieftains, also with SoM/SoW influence (though still in theme with the mod and removing most of the M.E-specific references).
Installation Instructions:
Extract the downloaded zip file, open the LOTR mod file through a program like 7-zip, and drag the extracted 'names' and 'speech' folders into (Mod version)\assets\lotr\ . Select "Yes" if you are prompted to replace files. You can also just add 'speech' if you aren't a fan of the new names or want it to be compatible with A.O.N.
Note:
This pack does not work online, unless the host has the resource pack installed.
Mod is not compatible with 'Respect the Boss' without manually adding the new lines to the speech-bank, and is completely incompatible with 'Amazing Orc Names' due to the proper orc names being condensed into prefixes.

The First Age Submod[]
Authors: The Eras of Arda Team
Mod Version: 2.5.8 built on LOTR Update 36.11
Last Update: 20 June 2021
Changelog: Link
Wiki Submod Page: Resource Packs/The First Age Submod
Description:
The First Age Submod is an edited version of the Lord of the Rings Mod* developed by the Eras of Arda team. We use an edited map that adds Beleriand to the map, and removes the rest of Middle-earth. The submod adds many new factions to the mod. All of these new factions are custom-coded to provide the best adaption of the Silmarillion into the LOTRmod. You can play as an elf of Doriath, a man from Dor-lómin, or an orc of Angband.
*Note that this is the only submod that has been given authorisation by Mevans to distribute the mod's code. (Besides FoA, which had been discontinued since years and never got a proper release).
