The pack also includes other tweaks that ensure ArdaCraft server builds are displayed exactly as intended by their creators.

About the ArdaCraft Project

ArdaCraft is an ambitious project launched in 2014 that recreates J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth within Minecraft. The planned map size is approximately 2300 square kilometers, making this the largest reproduction of Tolkien's world ever attempted without procedural generation.

Scientific Approach to World Building

The project emphasizes geological, botanical, and historical research to achieve maximum authenticity in the game world. This includes studying historical farming techniques, analyzing regional climate conditions to determine appropriate plant species, and researching analogous cultures—such as Iron Age Celts for Dunland or Anglo-Saxons for Rohan.

Canonical Accuracy

Special attention is paid to faithfulness to the original source material. During project development, Tolkien's works, letters, and sketches are analyzed to recreate the author's envisioned world as accurately as possible within Minecraft's limitations.
