Welcome Fellow! To Durin’s Builders
Who Are We?
We are a Minecraft Build Team focused on building the Strongholds and Mansions of dwarves from all over the land of Middle Earth! All of our builds are in Dwarven style, though we may go a little further and build neighboring kingdoms.
Our Build Style:
Our build style is typical of dwarven building styles found elsewhere. The underground halls of the dwarves are made from stone, with various decorative features such as arches and mosaics. The best example of this is the Mines of Moria, which is one of our current projects.
We use a custom resource pack created, updated, and maintained by Proton Gamer and Le0nidas11 in all of our builds.
For Those Who Do Not know, or have not read:
"Dwarves were a short, stocky race, a little taller than hobbits but much broader and heavier. Most Dwarves had thick, luxuriant beards in which they took great pride, and often forked or braided them and tucked them into their belts."
And no, we are not Snow White’s seven dwarves, for we are more than ten. And we have axes.
Where Can You Get Ideas or Inspiration?
Our Builds are inspired of the Culture of Middle Earth Dwarves, mostly described in the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, including (but not limited to) The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion. We also take inspiration from other depictions of dwarves from other sources, including adaptations of Tolkien’s work (such as Lord of the Rings Online).
Our Projects
We have our own server, and are developing several projects. Currently, we are working on:
-Moria, Khazad-dum, Dwarrowdelf - the greatest of the dwarven mansions and the home of Durin’s Folk
Currently, we are working on the Central Mines, which is a city in itself, and the Great Southern Abyss, a massive cave home to the Waterworks of Khazad-Dum. We are also renovating Durin’s Causeway, the highway of northeastern Moria, and the Eastern Rift, which is crossed by the Bridge of Khazad-Dum.
-Narag-Gund, the mansion of the Stonefoot dwarves and home to a large population of humans.
Currently, we are working on the villages and settlements outside of the city, which are mainly small farming towns. We are also are building the wealthier districts of the exterior city as well as improving the natural landscape by adding greenery inside the city and woodlands outside of it. We are also improving several houses.
In addition to these projects, we have begun work on Nogrod , but progress is moving very slowly. Currently, we have completed the entrance and moved on to the Great Hall and its connecting halls. Soon we will begin work on the outside, including landscaping and fortifications. A map of Nogrod will be released soon.
We have also begun to build Blackflame, more info about it will be given on future updates.
Upcoming projects include:
Amon Rudh, the home of Petty-Dwarves in the First Age.
Gundabad, the place where Durin awoke (now occupied by orcs)
Nordinbad, the refuge of the dwarves in the Grey Mountains
Projects we plan to do:
Belegost, one of the great cities of the Ered Luin, and twin city of Nogrod
Nurunkhizdin, the home of the Ironfists dwarves by the sea of Rhun;
We have already completed one Mansion already, Kheled-Dum, which is available for download here on Planet Minecraft.
We have also completed a movie-accurate version of Moria, which you can find here. It was originally built for the [RIP] Tales of War, a PvP server, and later revised to a full-on map.

Update #5 : by Durins Builders 08/27/2017 2:24:18 amAug 27th, 2017
After a long period of inactivity on pmc, we're back! And looking good xD
Our activity in this meanwhile was reduced, but never died, and even with pmc being outdated, we did a contest and picked a new logo for our build team, which we're proud to announce here in this post!
As for the other threads, we'll be trying to update them as soon as possible to reflect the current state of our server!
Thanks again for the support, hope you like our new logo, we'll try to keep forum updated more often! May Durin be with you!
