Welcome to MCME Minecraft Middle Earth is a Minecraft community that recreates the world described by JRR Tolkien and his writings. Especially it shows the currently Work in progress location aswell as the ones still need to be done. I’m just wondering if this map is available for download. This time however I only publish it in one version and size, this is to make updating it easier. If you did want an itinerary of what to see in Middle-earth, the server has the perfect tour for you. Very often already I promised that I will do a comeback of my Old Map server maps. That's around the same size as Dallas, Texas, so it's understandable that the team might not want to tackle the wider realms of Tolkien's universe quite yet. The Minecraft Middle-earth map is currently 29,000 by 30,000 blocks, which makes an area of around 870 square kilometres. That kind of stuff we haven't touched yet." "The Hobbit actually takes place in a different location, so we haven't built areas like Lake-town or the location where the Battle of the Five Armies happens. Visitors would ask, do you guys have Erebor built? And then we'd have to tell them no or, do you have Mordor built? And we would have to say, not yet."

Everyone can participate in organized events in which we collaborate to create major landmarks, terrain, caves, castles, towns, farms and more.

"When the first Hobbit got released, we saw a huge increase in visits for people," he says.

The Middle-earth builders also need to apply their own creativity to vast parts of the map that Tolkien only alludes to. The references that the team use are the descriptions from the books and how landscapes are shown in the films, but Vermeersch also says that the group use their own fantasy concepts for parts of the world that don't work in Minecraft. Then we look around at the builds and find out what works and what doesn't work." We give them guidelines and present them with pictures of like, for example, Roman architecture, as kind of a mood board. We set it in a blank world and ask, for example, for houses in Minas Tirith and people begin building. "We then organize built contests, basically, where everyone can be involved. "The biggest, most iconic builds are usually handled exclusively by senior members or our best builders," Vermeersch says.
