Welcome to Middle-Earth: Archeology!
\nThis datapack is an add-on to the Middle-Earth mod, focusing on the archeology and ancient histories of Middle-Earth.<\/p>\n

Explore Middle-Earth and find various ruined structures scattered about in respective regions from previous ages, and find the remnants of the past.
\nSimilar to Minecraft’s Archeology, you can find various items in suspicious gravel and sand- from random items to useful ones, like armor and weapon pieces. Make sure to fully explore the ruins, as some remnants may be buried beneath the surface!<\/p>\n

Currently the following ruins can be explored in the corresponding regions:
\n– Gondor – Gondor
\n– Rohan – Rohan
\n– Dale – Dale
\n– Dunedain – Old Arthedain
\n– Misty Mountain Goblins – Misty Mountains
\n– Mordor – The Brown Lands<\/p>\n

… and more to come! <\/p>\n
