About this Mod

Please note: This mod requires The Lord of the Rings Mod: Renewed to work which you will have to download manually as it is not listed on Modrinth.

This mod is a Minecraft Forge 1.16 addon (currently in beta) for Mevan's The Lord of the Rings Mod: Renewed mod. The mod is currently in active development by a small team with the goal of adding all the missing content from LOTR: Legacy back into LOTR: Renewed. You will need to install The Lord of the Rings Mod: Renewed mod in order to run it.

Current Features:

  • Structures & NPCs for the Shire, Bree-land, Rangers of the North, Gundabad, Blue Mountains, Lindon, Rivendell, Eregion, and Barrow Downs
  • NPC Trading has been implemented with over 35 traders ported or added.
  • Most items/blocks/weapons and armor have been ported
  • Most ported items/blocks have new renewed textures that fit 1.16.5 Minecraft's style
  • Tree types such as Chestnut, Banana, Willow, and Ebony have been added
  • Fellowships, Banner Protection, Traders, Hired Units and a LOTR Mod Settings Menu
  • The legacy modifier system has been completely ported, including new modifiers
  • The hired unit system has been re-implemented
  • Some new blocks/items such as new furs, new drystones and new lanterns
