Here is the full plan:
Currently, I am mostly done with terrain and I am just adding details like more clearings and hills.

My Story
I am a builder who has built for a few servers in the past. I have always wanted to see the full of Middle Earth in Minecraft, but this is not my first time. My first time was editing a popular map made by the builder Leefnuts. I added many structures and features. But this time I decided to make my whole own map. I learned Worldpainter and spent around 2 months practicing before starting. This project has been going on since February. I will at the end make a cinematic exploring the map and also a full video about the process of building.

Step 1 is finishing the terrain. Step 2 will be adding structures.

If you have any questions just comment them.


Update:


I have recently looked at this project and decided to discontinue the work being done. Will soon post the terrain of the map. But besides that, I am done.

I have sent the map to somebod else who may or may not finish the map.
