Exposure: Middle-Earth edition
by IsraelBoss
Exposure: Middle-Earth edition is a Fabric addon for the Exposure camera mod that moves its photography into Tolkien's world, with new recipes, achievements and photo collections.
What it does
The addon is an unofficial version of Exposure made to run alongside Middle-earth. It changes assets and data rather than the original Exposure code, so the base mod must be installed as well. Fabric API and Middle-earth are required dependencies, and the server needs the addon while players may add it on the client side. Builds are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
The Middle-Earth version swaps several items for themed ones: the Interplanar Projector becomes a Palantir Lens, gunpowder is crafted from coal, firecap and ash, and color film is developed with Morsel. Textures and the advancements tab are reworked, and a datapack is recommended for the full experience, since it adds structure chests with rare items and a tab of Middle-earth achievements.
Key features
Themed camera recipes
Camera, film, camera stand and lightroom recipes are changed, with ingredients gathered within Middle-earth.
Photo collections
Completing a themed set of photographs earns an advancement, and finishing the whole collection grants a final one.
Middle-earth achievements
New achievements reward photographing locations along the journeys of Frodo and Bilbo, and some are hard to earn.
Rare chest loot
With the datapack, structure chests in Middle-earth hold custom photographs, some of them extremely rare.
Updated screens and sounds
Recipe error screens and sounds are updated, and some camera film appearances are taken from Tuttas Retextures.

What the author says
An unofficial version of Exposure by mortuusars, made to play harmoniously with the Middle-Earth. The mod doesn't change the original Exposure code in any way, only assets and data. This mod requires a Middle-Earth (obviously) and the Fabric API. Installing the original Exposure is not required. For the best gaming…
