Sky Islands should retain its terrain islands and gain occasional additional
feature islands. Try Cave terrain too; the Binder should reject that pairing.
The **Tendrils** feature adapts Legacy's winding, branching cave-node geometry
into solid tubes. It is additive on all current terrain families, including
Flat, Void, and Cave; it does not change biome selection. A preceding full-
collision Block page chooses the tendril material. Otherwise the Age seed
chooses a valid Block Pages material, consistent with other authored material
features. Page-free random Ages can select Tendrils as a solid-material feature,
including on Cave terrain where the surface material features are unavailable.
The shape and placement use only the Age seed and source-chunk coordinates, so
revisiting an Age recreates the same geometry.
For a clear visual check, bind a Void Age with a Glowstone Block page followed
by Tendrils. Fly around world Y=0–120 across several chunks: branching solid
forms should appear in the otherwise empty dimension, continue across chunk
borders, and remain in place after leaving and returning. Repeat with a lone
Tendrils page to confirm its seed-chosen material, and with Cave terrain to
confirm the feature does not require a surface biome.
## Written biome selection (generation version 16)
Biome pages follow the terrain page and precede the distribution-control page

The Legacy symbol list and page names come from [ModSymbols](https://github.com/Mystcraft/Mystcraft-Legacy/blob/9bc8ddc061845df0cd5ea47f4fdef773cff786ae/src/main/java/com/xcompwiz/mystcraft/data/ModSymbols.java#L129-L240) and [SymbolRules](https://github.com/Mystcraft/Mystcraft-Legacy/blob/9bc8ddc061845df0cd5ea47f4fdef773cff786ae/src/main/java/com/xcompwiz/mystcraft/data/SymbolRules.java#L19-L137). Rivencraft's [catalog](../src/main/java/net/dnorberg/rivencraft/writing/SymbolCatalog.java) currently holds display metadata only; its built-in set is just standard terrain, native biomes, normal weather, normal lighting, normal time, and caves. [OrderedWriting](../src/main/java/net/dnorberg/rivencraft/writing/OrderedWriting.java) preserves page order, but no compiler yet connects it to [AgeTraits](../src/main/java/net/dnorberg/rivencraft/book/AgeTraits.java) or [Age profiles](AGE_PROFILES.md).
