+## Manual Ink Mixer modifier check (Milestone 5, issue #36)
+
+With optional JEI installed, search for the Ink Mixer category. It should show
+the base paper/ink/vial operation and separate entries for Gunpowder, Mushroom
+Stew, Experience Bottle, Ender Pearl, Feather, and Fire Charge,
+with their property chances. Black Dye and Clay Ball should not appear: the
+former had no working Legacy effect, while Generate Platform is redundant
+with default Age arrival. Without JEI, Rivencraft should still
+start and the mixer should work normally.
+
+Put paper and an Ink Vial in the mixer. Hold Gunpowder on the cursor and
+right-click the ink basin once; one Gunpowder should be consumed, and hovering
+the basin should show a 20% Disarm chance. Black Dye, Clay Balls, and an
+unrelated item such as Stone should remain untouched.
+Closing and reopening the mixer should retain the chance. Taking a Link Panel
+should consume one paper and the configured ink cost, clear the current
+mixture, and possibly give a panel with Disarm on its tooltip. Repeat until
+a property-bearing panel appears, craft it with leather, and confirm the
+unwritten Linking Book preserves the property tooltip. After binding it,
+link to another dimension; inventory items should drop at the departure point.
+With twenty Ender Pearls added to a fresh mixture, both Disarm and Intra
+Linking should show about 96.1%, and the basin should animate both property
+colors. Taking a panel should reset all three percentages and clear the color
+effect; a near-certain modifier should show the brighter outer animation.
+Also bind a Descriptive Book with a Disarm panel and check the same drop behavior.
+Bind a Descriptive Book with both Intra Linking and Maintain Momentum on its
+panel: the assembled book should retain Maintain Momentum but omit Intra
+Linking. For Linking Books, try an unmodified book whose destination is the
+current dimension: it should refuse travel. A Linking Book with Intra Linking
+should work in the same dimension. A Descriptive Book does not require or use
+Intra Linking, even if an older book retained that flag.
+Automatic Return Links should still appear according to the existing setting
+and work from an Age back to the Overworld. A full player inventory or blocked glass-bottle slot
+must not duplicate or consume materials for an output that cannot be taken.
+
+Link Panels should not enter Notebooks (folders) or Writing Desk tabs, whether
+clicked, shift-clicked, or dragged onto the page surface. An old Notebook or
+Desk already holding a Link Panel should still let the player take it out,
+but the Desk must not offer a copy of it. The Desk should continue to copy
+ordinary symbol Pages; JEI should show that example instead of Link Panel copying.
+
+## Manual Age unload/reload check
+
+The automated suite does not unload a freshly generated Age. Minecraft can
+queue point-of-interest block updates after generation; closing that Age's
+region storage while a queued update is still pending can leave the dedicated
+GameTest server waiting forever in `SectionStorage.readColumn`. Plan save/load,
+terrain generation, and safe spawn remain automated; runtime unload/reload is
+checked in a normal game session:
+
+1. Back up the test world. Bind one Link-Panel-only Descriptive Book and one
+   Descriptive Book with a terrain page (for example, Island), using distinct
+   names. Bring a working way back to the Overworld.
+2. Travel through each book, confirm the named Age and expected terrain, then
+   return to the Overworld. Close book screens and wait a few seconds.
+3. With cheats enabled, run `/rivencraft age list` and record each Age's
+   `rivencraft:age/...` dimension ID. Run `/rivencraft age unload <dimension>`
+   for one Age at a time, then list again to confirm it is unloaded.
+4. Reopen the same Descriptive Books and travel back. Confirm each book reaches
+   its original Age, the terrain and safe arrival remain intact, and no extra
+   Age entry was created. Save, restart the world, and repeat the book check.
+
+## Manual feature-generation check (Milestone 5, issue #35)
+
+The automated suite verifies feature pages, compiled and saved feature IDs,
+vanilla registry mappings, unsupported combinations, and the runtime generator.
+An automated scan across many newly generated chunks stalled the GameTest
+server, so physical placement is handed to the player for in-game verification:
+
+1. In a fresh world, bind a Descriptive Book with Link Panel, Standard Terrain,
+   Plains Biome, Single Biome, Caves, and Rocks pages in that order.
+   Missing weather/lighting/celestial branches may be seed-filled. Travel to
+   the Age and explore several fresh surface chunks: boulders made from one
+   seed-selected full-collision block should appear among the plains terrain.
+   Then explore underground in fresh
+   chunks; the Caves page should add a second cave-carving pass to Standard
+   terrain, not switch the Age to Cave terrain.
+2. Make a second book with Flat Terrain and Caves. The Binder should mark the
+   Caves page unsupported and prevent assembly. Cave Terrain plus Caves should
+   be accepted; Cave Terrain plus Rocks should be rejected.
+3. Return, save, and restart the world. Re-enter the first Age and explore
+   *new* chunks. The authored decorations should continue without rebinding.
+   Previously generated chunks are intentionally unchanged.
+4. Title-derived terrain regression (with Create installed): with no Terrain Page, assemble Link Panel,
+   Glowstone, Rocks, Chocolate, Small Lakes in that order and name the Age
+   `glow`. The Binder should accept it and generate compatible surface terrain;
+   Glowstone should be the rock material and Chocolate should appear in authored
+   Small Lakes across fresh chunks. Ordinary vanilla lava lakes may still occur.
+   Repeat
+   with `gl` or `glo` to confirm names do not change page validity. An explicit
+   Flat or Cave Terrain Page with Rocks should still be rejected.

+
+Legacy does **not** use a conventional ingredient slot: the player clicks the ink basin with a carried item. Each accepted item is consumed immediately, changing the basin's property probabilities. A Link Panel is a virtual result; taking it consumes paper and ink, rolls each property independently using a saved next-seed, writes the selected flags to the Page, then resets that basin's mixture. The Link Panel passes those flags to a Linking Book made with leather. The preview must not roll or consume anything.
+
+| Ingredient | Property | Chance per item |
+| --- | --- | ---: |
+| Gunpowder | Disarm | 20% |
+| Mushroom Stew | Disarm | 5% |
+| Clay Ball | Generate Platform | 25% |
+| Experience Bottle | Intra Linking | 15% |
+| Ender Pearl | Intra Linking + Disarm | 15% each |
+| Feather | Maintain Momentum | 15% |
+| Fire Charge | Disarm | 25% |
+| Black dye | Empty effect key; ignored by Legacy's mixer | None in practice |
+
+Legacy also has optional ore-dictionary dusts: brass, bronze, tin, iron, lead, silver, diamond, and gold. Their effect combinations are in `InkEffects.init()`. Forge's ore dictionary does not exist in NeoForge 1.21.1, so these should be mapped through item tags only when a suitable tag and item exist; none should become a hard dependency. The `Relative` and `Intra Linking Only` properties are registered but have no built-in ingredient. `Natural`, `External`, `Offensive`, `Op-TP`, and `Following` are internal link flags, not mixer ingredients.
+
+For each additive, Legacy scales each existing probability by `1 - sum(additive chances)` and then adds the additive's probabilities. Properties are rolled independently on the final Page. The Legacy link effects are: Disarm drops carried inventory before travel; Generate Platform places a single arrival block if a drop exists; Maintain Momentum retains velocity; Intra Linking permits a same-dimension link.
+
+Rivencraft deliberately diverges from Legacy's shared-probability dilution here: each supported modifier accumulates independently as `new = 1 - (1 - old) × (1 - item chance)^item count`. Twenty Ender Pearls therefore produce about 96.1% each for Disarm and Intra Linking, and a panel can receive both. Taking the panel resets every probability to zero. The GUI uses Legacy's empty-basin atlas sprite, fills the basin dark when ink is present, and projects its colored rotating D'ni effect over the ink (red Disarm, blue Momentum, green Intra); the effect intensifies as a modifier approaches certainty and disappears after output is taken.
+
+Implementation requirements: keep the mixer server-authoritative; persist mixture probabilities and next-seed; show a deterministic virtual result; consume exact inputs once; prevent duplicate output on shift-click; preserve inputs when output cannot be taken; copy the Page's link properties into a Linking Book; apply supported properties only after destination validation; retain unmodified books' current safe-link behavior; and expose both base and modifier sequences to optional JEI. Tests should cover persistence, multiple additives, invalid items, full inventory/bottle output, and panel-to-book transfer.
+
+## Rivencraft 0.4.7.x implementation scope
+
+The built-in vanilla-item rows above are supported except black dye and clay balls. Legacy ignores black dye's empty effect key, so Rivencraft does not consume or advertise it in JEI. Clay Balls are omitted because Age arrival already builds a safe platform by default and a separate Generate Platform link modifier would be redundant. Right-clicking the Ink Mixer basin with a carried item adds one; left-clicking adds the carried stack. The mixture is persistent and its next panel is deterministic. The visual basin tooltip shows current probabilities. Only taking the virtual Link Panel consumes paper/ink and clears the mixture. The Link Panel's property component is copied to a Linking Book by the leather recipe or a Descriptive Book by the Binder. JEI's optional Ink Mixer category lists the base panel and each supported additive interaction with its per-property chance; Rivencraft does not require JEI to run.
+
+Disarm and Maintain Momentum are applied by the server after confirming a safe destination. Disarm spawns each inventory stack as an item entity at the departure point, including for Descriptive Books. Intra Linking is required only for a Linking Book whose destination is in the player's current dimension; ordinary cross-dimensional Linking Books still work. The Binder treats an Intra Linking panel as an ordinary Link Panel and omits that flag from the resulting Descriptive Book, while retaining Disarm and Maintain Momentum. Automatic Return Links remain enabled under the existing configuration, as requested. The old Generate Platform bit remains readable on pre-0.4.7.1 test items but is neither rolled nor applied. Optional dust-tag mappings remain outside this built-in subset until their cross-mod tags and gameplay meaning are agreed.

-The Rivencraft Pages creative tab reads a generated index of bundled symbol definitions. Adding another valid JSON symbol under `src/main/resources/data/rivencraft/rivencraft/symbols/` includes its page automatically in the next build; no Java starter-page list needs updating. The server catalog still decides whether that page is valid for writing. External server data-pack symbols are not included in this bundled index.
+## Supported feature pages (issue #35)
+
+Feature pages come after the celestial section. Their order is retained in the plan and in decoration placement. The Caves page adds a second, Age-seeded vanilla cave-carving pass to Noise terrain, including Standard, Amplified, Island, and Cave terrain. It chooses the vanilla Overworld or Nether cave carver from the source biome. This is separate from the Milestone 7 issue about Cave **terrain** generation. Flat and Void terrain have no suitable solid noise body and reject Caves with a binder diagnostic.
+
+Flowers, Trees, Huge Trees, Rocks, Surface Lakes, Deep Lakes, and Small Lakes add vanilla placed features after normal biome decoration. Huge Trees currently use vanilla old-growth spruce placement as a modern approximation of Legacy's huge-tree page; it is not the custom Legacy tree generator. Without a preceding material page, Rocks select a valid solid block and each lake page selects a valid source-fluid block from the registered pool. The selection is deterministic for an Age seed and feature ID, so all chunks in that Age use the same material across restarts with the same block registry. The page-specific feature preserves vanilla placement rules other than the biome-list filter, since an authored page deliberately adds it to the Age. Surface and Small Lakes use a more visible one-in-twelve-chunks attempt rate instead of vanilla lava lakes' one-in-two-hundred; Deep Lakes retain their underground placement. Vanilla biome lava lakes are separate and can still appear alongside authored fluid lakes. These decorations require surface Noise terrain; Cave, Flat, and Void reject them. Flowers and both tree pages require at least one surface Overworld biome and only run in compatible chunks; Nether, End, and tagged cave biomes do not receive surface vegetation. Ravines add a separate Age-seeded vanilla canyon-carving pass to Noise terrain. Unsupported feature IDs and missing vanilla registry entries produce diagnostics instead of becoming no-ops.
+
+Material pages are generated for registered full-collision, non-fluid blocks and genuine source-fluid blocks, including eligible blocks supplied by other mods. Blocks with block entities are excluded. Waterlogged plants and coral are not fluid blocks and receive no pages. Valid source-fluid blocks appear only in the Fluid Pages creative tab; valid full-collision solids appear only in Block Pages. Both categories use the same saved material-page semantics. Put a Block Page immediately before Rocks to choose a rock material, or a Fluid Page immediately before Surface Lakes, Deep Lakes, or Small Lakes to choose a lake fluid. A material page left alone, placed before a different category, or attached to an incompatible feature is rejected. Both the feature and material ID are frozen in the saved plan, so future chunks retain their choice after restart. Existing chunks are not retroactively decorated. Custom structures, crystals, portals, and the Cave-terrain bug are outside this slice.
+
+The Rivencraft symbol-page creative tabs read a generated index of bundled symbol definitions and group Pages by each definition's category, except biome-controller roles, which appear in a separate Biome Generation tab rather than the Biome tab. Adding another valid JSON symbol under `src/main/resources/data/rivencraft/rivencraft/symbols/` includes its page in the matching category tab on the next build; a new bundled category receives its own tab. Registry-derived Block and Fluid Pages have separate tabs and both appear in optional JEI. Link Pages have a separate tab. Blank Pages appear in neither the creative tabs nor JEI's ingredient list. The server catalog still decides whether a page is valid for writing. External server data-pack symbols are not included in this bundled index.
