It’s no secret that Mojang Studios’ sandbox construction game Minecraft has been used to make a number of awe-inspiring projects. Some of the more notable builds are immense in scale, such as one team of players attempting to recreate the original Destiny in Minecraft down to its mechanics and modes, but one community server called Minecraft Middle-Earth has been attempting to recreate the fantasy world of J.R.R. Tolkien for 10 years.
The project was founded on October 10, 2010 when Minecraft was in Alpha version 1.1, according to a post from head moderator Smaug_Niphredil about different events being held over the next two weeks to celebrate its anniversary. A special video has also been released on the project’s official YouTube channel that shows off different locales from Middle-Earth on a timeline of when they were built.
The community building project is advertised in the video as “based on the best-selling books of all time, made in the best-selling game of all time,” and invites everyone to participate in organized events “to create major landmarks, terrain, caves, castles, towns, farms, and more,” according to its forums. Today’s festivities included an award ceremony and anniversary item hunt, and tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. UTC there will be a reenactment of the Helm’s Deep Battle — said to be the first of many in the coming weeks.
More events will be hosted on the server through October 23, including a 24-hour Hide and Seek game on October 15, a collective build project for the Osgiliath Wall on October 17, and an Octoberfest after party following the closing ceremony. Some events still have times to be determined, such as a race using Minecraft‘s flying Elytra that will let players “fly with the eagles” and see the landscapes built out across the server from a different perspective.
This anniversary falls out around a great time for fans of Minecraft as a whole. Minecraft announced its next big Caves & Cliffs update during Minecraft Live 2020 last week, and on October 13 Steve and various alternate characters will become the newest guest fighter in Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Fans of The Lord of the Rings also have a fair amount of things to anticipate in the realm of video games and other media. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is in development by Daedalic Entertainment for current and next-gen consoles, and Amazon Prime is working on a televised adaptation of the series for its streaming service.
Minecraft is available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
