About
The Lord of the Rings Mod: Renewed brings Tolkien’s Middle-earth, drawing on The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion, into Minecraft as an expansive adventure world. Its custom dimension follows a Middle-earth map across more than 100 biomes, with regions such as the Shire, Evendim, Fangorn Forest, the Blue Mountains, and Mordor, alongside distinctive terrain including northern tundra, chalk hills, and marshlands. Generated roads wind across the landscape, while map waypoints support fast travel; datapacks can customize the map, waypoint locations and names, and road routes, or use an image to generate a different world map. Combat features weapons with different speeds and reach, and the world is populated by Middle-earth faction NPCs whose dialogue can respond to their surroundings; NPCs include groups such as Isengard Snagas and Gundabad orcs. Wargs are one of the added creatures, with a leaping attack that can disable shields, while caracals also appear in Middle-earth. Other systems include custom crafting and smelting stations, brewing drinks in kegs, and pouches dropped by NPCs that expand inventory space and can be named or dyed. Datapacks also let players configure crafting, smelting, and keg-brewing recipes, as well as NPC faction alignments and alignment values. Visual details include a distinctive night sky, northern lights in Forodwaith, and the dark skies and charred trees of Mordor.

Security
No harmful code found
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.15.2 to 1.16.5.
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.2 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. None is for a recent Minecraft version, so the answer above is about all of them. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.15.2 to 1.16.5.
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of both files, for Minecraft 1.15.2 to 1.16.5. See each file in Releases
AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its description, files, images and sounds and found none.
We have not read its changelogs yet.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.Not on Modrinth.
- Description and changelogsThe description, project page and newest changelogs: sentences saying an AI tool was used, and text pasted from an AI chat.Nothing found in the descriptionChangelogs not read yet
