(Hytale Version of DHD planned)
single player and multiplayer
To defend Helms Deep you and anyone else you can muster up have to prepare for the worst. Saruman has created a new abomination known as the fighting Uruk-Hai! These are a strong Orc that don't seem to be weakened by the sun. Luckily for us no army has ever breached the walls of the deep nor have they stepped foot in the Hornburg. So gear up and get ready to kill some Orc!
Defend Helms Deep is a project I originally started in 2012 and 'finished' in 2014. I started to remake it in 2019 into a Co-op game instead of a PVP one. An insane amount of hours went into making this map, and I'm hoping that an even bigger amount of hours of gameplay goes into it by you wonderful people.
DO NOT
- DO NOT load this game into 'Aternos Server Hosting.' It will not work!
- DO NOT use any server plugins/custom server.jar with this map. It will likely break things.
(Note: I have seen proximity voice mod work, not sure how to setup)

IMPORTANT INFO
NOTE!
- Try to keep your Render Distance higher than 8 AND Entity Distance as high as you can.
- 1.17-1.19 FPS isn't that great. You will likely get less FPS than you are used to. I recommend getting Optifine to 'help' with that.
- DO NOT use any server plugins with this map. It will likely break things.
