Minecraft Middle Earth (MCME) is a long‑running building community dedicated to recreating J.R.R. Tolkien’s world of Middle‑earth inside Minecraft. Founded by q220 on 10 October 2010, the project combines large‑scale historical builds with community‑led roles and events. ()

⚔️ Game modes

🛠️ Building / Roleplay

MCME focuses on guided building projects and themed plots where builders work under foremen, combining craftsmanship with light roleplay.

🎯 Community Events

Regular tours, minigames and seasonal events showcase completed areas and encourage participation.
