On April 10th 2020, it was officially announced that the [[Lord of the Rings Mod]] will be gradually ported to 1.15 alongside the release of {{Update|36}} for 1.7.10 (which is the last major update for the older version of Minecraft). Branded as the Mod Renewed, the 1.15 version is being released in relatively frequent 'snapshots' (akin to the [https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Java_Edition_version_history/Development_versions vanilla snapshots]) and will adapt all of the content added to the mod thus far to newer Minecraft versions.
   
 
This page will chronicle the snapshot process for the Mod Renewed until it catches up with the mod as it currently exists, after which point further updates will be dealt with as usual on the main [[updates]] page. It will also showcase several of the images posted on the mod's [https://www.facebook.com/pg/LOTRMC/posts/?ref=page_internal Facebook page], and the highlight videos made by [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYQbWA3rXGfgT6KIlS2fxsA Glflegolas], for each snapshot.

The first Renewed snapshot ported over key features of the mod such as the Middle-earth dimension, the first 5 biomes, the [[Red Book]], and many basic blocks. In addition, textures were updated to match the style of Vanilla 1.15, and trapdoors, buttons, stripped wood variants, and similar blocks were added for the mod woods. Finally, some changes were made to Vanilla 1.15, including the addition of vertical slabs.

The fourth snapshot ported the various forges and ovens to the mod with their recipes (and added some new mechanics) which can be configured with data packs. It also ported Uruk [[Uruk Steel Ingot|steel]], [[Uruk Equipment|equipment]], [[Uruk Brick|blocks]] and [[Nan Curunír]]. Also ported were fir, larch and pine trees, the latter of which has been combined with the [[Shire Pine]] by now spawning (albeit with a different shape) in the Shire (don't worry, Shire pine [[door]]s and [[trapdoor]]s are still craftable on the newly ported {{CT|Hobbit}}).

==Snapshot 1.7 - (August 8th, 2020)==
  +
{{Updates Header/Renewed|1.7}}
  +
The eighth snapshot ported several of the more 'wooded' biomes, including {{Biome|Fangorn}} and the {{Biome|Woodland Realm}}, along with the green-oaks, red-oaks and massive Fangorn trees exclusive to those biomes. It also added the [[Grey Mountains]], [[White Mountains]] and {{Biome|Dale}}. Lastly it added cracked, mossy and carved [[Elven Brick|Galadhrim brick]], and made [[Mirk-oak Tree|Mirk-oaks]] a little spookier...
  +
  +
The focus for the snapshots around the time of 1.7's release is to add most of the major biomes so that Middle-earth map generation can be added without leaving too many gaps. For this reason, the sizes of biomes in this snapshot was reduced by around a quarter, to allow easier exploration of new biomes until map generation.

{{Updates Header/Renewed|2.0}}

The 2.0 snapshot added the long-awaited Middle-earth map generation, as well as 30 biomes to fill it up a bit - including a greatly improved [[The Sea|ocean]]. The system is more customisable than the legacy form, with the use of data packs to change several map settings, as well as the image itself. It also retextured and added several blocks, as well as [[chrysanthemum]]s, bronze nuggets and lanterns, and spiky Uruk bars. Notably, this was also the first snapshot to be posted on [https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/the-lord-of-the-rings-mod-renewed Curseforge].

Revision as of 17:50, 24 November 2020

Legacy Renewed On April 10th 2020, it was officially announced that the Lord of the Rings Mod will be gradually ported to 1.15 alongside the release of Update 36 for 1.7.10 (which is the last major update for the older version of Minecraft). Branded as the Mod Renewed, the 1.15 version is being released in relatively frequent 'snapshots' (akin to the vanilla snapshots) and will adapt all of the content added to the mod thus far to newer Minecraft versions.

This page will chronicle the snapshot process for the Mod Renewed until it catches up with the mod as it currently exists, after which point further updates will be dealt with as usual on the main updates page. It will also showcase several of the images posted on the mod's Facebook page, and the highlight videos made by Glflegolas, for each snapshot.

Read the full, official announcement of the Mod Renewed here.

You can read the full changelog for the Mod Renewed here.

The renewed version of the mod can also be found on CurseForge here.

If you use the Just Enough Items Mod (JEI), you can download a LotR plugin (made by Malvegil) here.

It also added the Grey Mountains, White Mountains and Dale. Lastly it added cracked, mossy and carved Galadhrim brick, and made Mirk-oaks a little spookier...

The focus for the snapshots around the time of 1.7's release is to add most of the major biomes so that Middle-earth map generation can be added without leaving too many gaps. For this reason, the sizes of biomes in this snapshot was reduced by around a quarter, to allow easier exploration of new biomes until map generation.
