+# Serene Seasons 10.1.0.9 compatibility review (#88)
+
+Reviewed 2026-10-20 for Minecraft 1.21.1 and NeoForge 21.1.264. Rivencraft
+now compiles against [Serene Seasons 10.1.0.9](https://modrinth.com/mod/serene-seasons/version/pHEgQQUE)
+with [GlitchCore 2.1.0.2](https://modrinth.com/mod/glitchcore/version/S2TfWrZR).
+Both remain optional. The Serene update fixes a precipitation-mixin recursion;
+it does not introduce a new dynamic-dimension API.
+
+The 10.1.0.8 and 10.1.0.9 bytecode for Rivencraft's version-sensitive
+`SeasonsConfig`, `SeasonHandler`, `SeasonSavedData`, and `SeasonTime` integration
+classes is identical. In particular, the dimension whitelist field, per-level
+saved season clock, and season update method have unchanged signatures and
+implementations. The adapter still writes the whitelist through GlitchCore's
+config API and sends Rivencraft's whitelist update to already connected clients.
+
+Verification:
+
+| Check | Result |
+| --- | --- |
+| Build against 10.1.0.9 and GlitchCore 2.1.0.2 | Passed. |
+| Real Prism client with Serene 10.1.0.9, GlitchCore 2.1.0.2, and Rivencraft 0.6.6.7 | Both mods loaded and the player joined an Age. |
+| No Seasons, normal Seasons, and all four Eternal modes in new and saved Ages | Player reported the full in-game matrix passed. |
+| Reconnect, restart, and Overworld independence | Player reported the full in-game matrix passed. |
+| Isolated dedicated-server startup without Serene/GlitchCore | Reached `Done` on port 25568 with only required runtime mods, then saved and stopped. |
+| Isolated dedicated-server startup with Serene/GlitchCore | Reached `Done` on port 25569 with 10.1.0.9/2.1.0.2, then saved and stopped. |
+
+Serene's sync packet is incompatible with GameTest mock players, so its
+in-game behavior must be checked with a real client and server. The seasonal
+test path in [SERENE_SEASONS_COMPATIBILITY.md](SERENE_SEASONS_COMPATIBILITY.md)
+remains the regression checklist for future upgrades. Rivencraft does not
+bundle or require Serene Seasons or GlitchCore.
