    The server is about recreating iconic battles from The Lord of the Rings in Minecraft, without using any mods. This way, it is accessible to any Minecraft player on the Java edition.



    Players fight against each other for the control of a castle, a city/town, village, or any strategic position, on our custom built maps.

    In general people come to play any time, but the most players amass during special events, which are announced in advance on Discord but also here, on Planet Minecraft, and other platforms.

    Thanks to everyone who attended yesterday's epic Castle Siege event on our server!

    On the occasion of the Moria Update, we broke our player record, reaching 85 players! A reminder that last time we had 100+ players was in 2014, looks like we're slowly getting back to those numbers!

    New Update Confirmation & Delays


    Hey all. Spring time is flourishing, and so are preparations for the next server updates!

    The development team has been working hard on a major technical update to the server's framework, which is the migration from Paper to Sponge. What that means is that the development workflow is going to be faster after this update, as Sponge works much closer to Vanilla Minecraft than Paper does. Thanks to this migration, we're benefiting from a deeper customization of game mechanics and a general avoidance of sketchy coding work-arounds. If you'd like to learn more about the technical aspect, @cotander will be happy to tell you more.

    That being said, we decided to release a server version 3.1.2 before the Great 3.2 titled Moria Update.

    The 3.1.2 release is going to feature the new recoded server. It will serve as an intermediate update between the Eriador update and the Moria Update, as we are planning on using this occasion to find the potential bugs that might arise because of the migration.

    Moria Update

    We need to delay the release of Moria, both because we need to ensure that the server works correctly on Sponge in time for the massive event we are planning, and because summertime in general is a better gaming period than April/May (historically, it has always been better that way). But do not be sad, for we've prepared a little sneak peek for you in the form of a little TIMELAPSE!

    Here's the sneak peek :)

    Congratulations to the_pharaohs_cat for his promotion to the role of Head Builder on our server! The Head Builder will fulfil the responsibilities listed below in coordination with the Empire War staff team:
    1. Authorising the initiation of projects regarding the development of maps for Empire War.
    2. Overseeing the renovation and improvement of maps already on Empire War (including design standards and direction, prioritisation and logging changes).
    3. Overseeing the preparation of new maps for Empire War, including adapting maps from both EpicQuestz and older versions of Empire War. Specifically, ensuring aesthetic standards are upheld when preparing maps for gameplay, and the most appropriate texture changes are made when converting a map from use in the EpicQuestz resource pack to the Empire War resource pack.
    4. Overseeing the building of lobbies.
    5. Overseeing the preparation of the server aesthetically for events such as Christmas.
