Frequently asked questions

Common questions about LOTR Combat, compatibility, and gameplay.

What is LOTR Combat Evolved?

LOTR Combat Evolved is an in-development combat overhaul for The Lord of the Rings Mod (v36.15) on Minecraft 1.7.10, originally created by MANNEEE10 and maintained and expanded by Kronspire.

How does weapon proficiency work?

Skill progresses from untrained (-40% damage) to master (+25% damage) across distinct melee and ranged weapon tracks. Each individual weapon copy also has its own familiarity tracking.

How do directional shields and parrying work?

Craftable main-hand and Baubles off-hand shields block frontal incoming attacks within a 120-degree arc. Timing a block just before a strike negates damage and knocks the attacker back.

Is LOTR Combat released yet?

Not yet. It is currently in active development and will require Minecraft 1.7.10, Forge 10.13.4.1614, The Lord of the Rings Mod v36.15, and Baubles Expanded.
