The Lord of the Rings Minecraft Mod: Bringing Middle-earth to Minecraft is an ever-expanding Minecraft fan-made mod recreating the world of J.R.R. Tolkien's Legendarium.[1]

History[edit]

Conception[edit]

Early development of the mod began around December 2012 by a sole programmer known as Mevans. As of April 20th, 2020, the mod released "Update 36", the last update for the Minecraft 1.17.10 version of the mod; announcing the development of a port to Minecraft version 1.15.2. While development on the port went with little issues, the mod developers changed their projected port version to Minecraft version 1.16.5 on April 7th, 2021.
