Lord Of The Rings fans can finally explore all of Middle-Earth in this free open-world

To follow in the footsteps of Frodo as he walks from Bag-End to Mordor, would be a dream come true - minus the Nazghuls and Orcs, of course.

As a hugeLord of the Ringsfan, I’ve wanted nothing more than to walk the runnels and desire paths of Middle-Earth.

Minecraftwill be heading to big screens next year and opinions are still mixed on the trailers.

It seems that dream can come true, if you don’t mind seeing everything made out of right angles.

A hugeMinecraftproject has been underway since 2010 to build all of Middle-Earth in the popular survival game.

Creators from across the world have been working away for years to recreate Tolkien’s world out of blocks using WorldPainter and WorldMachine.

I like the handy size comparison from the team that this is equal to Dallas, Texas.

As the team says, you’ll be able to “delve into the depths of Moria, traverse the tower of Isengard, and check out the citadel of Minas Tirith”.

It’s everything a fan of the films, books, and cartoons has ever wanted.

As a veteran ofMinecraft, I was floored when I saw the pictures taken inside this version of Middle-Earth.

Theshots of Isengardare astonishing, and I’ve already decided to dedicate some time to going through the website and perhaps venturing into the world myself.

WhileMinecraftmight not be everyone’s cup of tea, there’s no denying the brilliant work here and the impressive scale of such a project.
