Journey Through Middle-Earth II

Welcome to Middle-Earth! I have started a series on YouTube with my modpack if you would like to check that out. You can find that here: Welcome to Middle-Earth. 

Please note that you do start out in the overworld. You will need to gather the materials to create a starlight phial which you will then use to enter Middle-Earth. Once created, you will have the opportunity to choose a faction & where in Middle-Earth you would like to live. You can even choose good or evil! If you join with the new world survival chest, a starlight phial will be included in the chest if you would like to go straight to Middle-Earth.

You may also want to make the Middle-Earth map to use during your explorations of Middle-Earth, as there is so much to explore! 

Whether you want to live your best hobbit life gardening & adventuring or create & use armor using the new  smithing mechanic, Middle-Earth has 9 factions for you to choose from. You will also find new mobs throughout the land of Middle-Earth as well as below. 

Bonus, there are beautiful new tree types, building blocks, food, & structures. There is a vast land to explore & enjoy!  

I have added mods that only enhance the Middle-Earth mod experience. There is nothing over-the-top. Also, please keep in mind that the Middle-Earth mod is in its alpha phase & is a work in progress. I have balanced the experience with mods for the overworld as well with many structures & dungeons to visit to include Trek, Medieval Buildings, Moog’s Bountiful, End, Nether, & Voyager Structures, & Nordic Adventures with a few others.  

Traveling between the overworld & Middle-Earth can be done through use of Waystones.

There are some beautiful decorations included in the Middle-Earth mod, & I have also added Farmhouse Decorations & Beautify: Refabricated as well as some really great food from the Delights series. Each mod has been chosen to fit in with the Middle-Earth atmosphere. 

For more information on the Middle-Earth mod, you can join their Discord and/or check out the Wiki. 

I have added in a few mods for quality of life such as Comforts (sleeping bags) & Waystones. We have Ambient Sounds 6, medieval music, & just a couple of added decoration & crop mods to enhance the Middle-Earth mod experience. You will also be able to use the Nature’s & Explorer’s Compasses to find specific places, as I did also add in a few complementary structure mods with a medieval feel to them. 

I absolutely love the Middle-Earth mod & look forward to what is in store for the mod. This is a light pack with about 200 mods, as the mods are only meant to enhance your Middle-Earth experience. 

I hope you enjoy!
