Zman's Middle-Earth Experience

Welcome to Zman's Middle-Earth Experience!

This modpack utilizes the Middle-Earth mod as the base mod, and blends a mix of QoL and Immersion mods to create the most realistic Middle-Earth experience possible.

Explore Middle-Earth's latest update, A Long Expected Update, by checking out the new villages and structures generated throughout the world. Delve into the dark depths of the world where you can encounter new beasts and creatures in search of valuable gems for the unique enchanting system. 
Forge your legacy by building your own settlements or lore structures, the world is your canvas!

Until a time where the Middle-Earth mod has evolved and implemented any of the following features, the following mods have been added and reconfigured to accomodate for utilizing Middle-Earth's unique items:

Getting Into Middle-Earth
- Save yourself time from gathering the resources to make a starlight phial, one is provided to you for free! Beware though, once you're in the Middle-Earth dimension, there's no going back to the Overworld!

Brewing
- Some recipes have been added via datapack that utilize the Middle-Earth mod's items instead of vanilla Minecraft items. mushrooms and common gems, in AlcoCraft+. (Make sure to include the alcocraftmem datapack when creating your world!)

Bribery
- Using vadam1023's Middle-Earth Immersive Extras add-on mod, you can use gold coins with the NPCs to obtain various items, and if you're lucky, the coordinates to the locations of the new dungeon structures!

Cooking
- Using vadam1023's Middle-Earth Immersive Extras add-on mod, it ties in Famer's Delight into the gameplay of the Middle-Earth mod, allowing you to utlize the vast array of items and recipes provided by Farmer's Delight to cook various meals and dishes.

Jobs
- Jobs+ brings a unique way of gaining experience in the early game, along with giving purpose to each task you complete! Level up in your jobs to obtain coins and unlock unique and special upgrades to your character!

Transportation/Carts
- NiftyCarts brings a whole new form of transporting items, and other mechanics such as crop planting and harvesting and transporting animals! Use your faction's unique mounts to pull carts of resources, or plow your fields!

Inventory Sorting/Storage
- The new Sack item is very useful for early game, but what about in the late game when you have so many items and blocks that even those can't help keep up with inventory storage and sorting? The Bag of Holding is a craftable item that can hold at its highest tier the equivalent of a shulker box! Although, you may have to spare some mithril to make it.. (Make sure to include the mebagofholding datapack when creating your world!)

As more mods are ported to newer versions, there may be room for adding in new mods to bring more unique gameplay to you if not done by Seven Stars Studio themselves!

Work in Progress Features:
- Archeology
- Currency/Trading System
