This utility fully supports the Lord of the Rings mod (LOTRmod) v35.3.

Compilation

the following dependencies are needed for building:

• java 1.8 to 8

You'll need a Java Compiler (I used Java 1.8) and a zip package.

Caveats

Developed with Java 1.8 (recompile if your server is running under a lower version) and tested only on Minecraft 1.7.10 / Forge 10.13.4.1614.

Limits & Known bugs

See the tool's wiki.

Further development plans

All the main functionalities are implemented.

There's a list of possible unimplemented functionalities on the tool's wiki.

However I have no plan to port this to newer Minecraft versions as I will only use it for the LOTR mod.
