About this Mod

Basic Info

LOTR Info is a mod for LOTR: Renewed Extended that adds highly customizable hover tooltips to pouches, kegs, and weapons with bane progress along with a HUD for the LOTR daylight cycle.

Cloth Config API Is required for the in-game config menu, if that’s not an option you can use the custom command config, or edit lotrinfo-client.toml in your .minecraft/config folder. If you’re not using the GUI you should read the config section of this description so you can understand all the options.

If you find an isssue that isn't in "Known Issues" at the bottom of this page, let me know and I'll try to fix it. You can comment bugs here

Pouch Tooltips

You can turn off or customize the colored background, and show some default lines of lore.

Bane Tracker Tooltips

Screenshot showing the tooltips of a lindon axe with a 84/100 orc kills and 73/100 warg kills.

The lines are always sorted by the number of kills, but you can customize how they will look.

Keg Tooltips

Screenshot showing the tooltips of a keg with 16/16 potent athelas brew inside.
You can disable the drink’s lore, or require shift (rebindable)

Time HUD

Screenshot of the hud showing the time is 12:00 PM

Time left is exactly when mobs will start or stop spawning, which I tested to be 26,375-45,625 out of the 48,000 tick cycle.

Keybinds

  • Open Config GUI (default: not bound)
  • Show Hidden Tooltips (default: Left Shift)
  • Toggle HUD (Default: Control + H)
  • Toggle Mod (Default: not bound)
  • Hover Inside Pouches (default: Left Control)

Commands

You can use /lotrinfo, or /li for short. The config file directory is used as the command directory, so you'll see each config tab show up as an argument, with specific config options or subdirectories after.

There are also hard coded options, "all" and "reset". All flattens the directory so that every option will show up after /li all. Reset allows you to reset all the options in a given category, every single option, or the keybinds from this mod.

When setting the value of a config option, there are always two other options, "help", and "reset". Help will send a message in chat with the display name, description, value type, and default value. Reset will reset this specific setting to it's default value.
