 Every family retains a safe cobblestone arrival platform. An omitted terrain
 page still uses the deterministic seed-selected profile.
 
+The separate **Floating Islands** feature page adds rare high-altitude island
+clusters above Standard, Amplified, Sky Islands, Flat, or Void terrain; it does
+not replace the terrain page. The feature is seeded by the Age and saved with the written
+plan, so revisiting an Age recreates the same islands. Without a preceding
+Block page, the Age seed chooses one valid full-collision block from the Block
+Pages pool for the island body. A full-block material page immediately before
+Floating Islands overrides that choice. Ordinary surface biomes still get
+dirt/grass top layers; Nether and End biomes use the chosen block throughout.
+The feature is additive even on Sky Islands terrain,
+which already forms its own islands. Cave terrain rejects it. A page-free random
+Age may also roll Floating Islands as one of its material features.
+
+An unpaired Block or Fluid page chooses a compatible feature from the Age seed:
+full blocks can become Rocks, Floating Islands, Tendrils, Spheres, or Spikes; source fluids can become one
+of the lake features. Flat terrain can use Floating Islands, Tendrils, Spheres,
+or Spikes; Void can use Floating Islands, Tendrils, or Spheres; Cave can use
+Spheres or Tendrils. A page-free
+random Age rolls zero, one, or two distinct compatible material features, choosing each
+material from the Block or Fluid Pages pool. The choices are saved on the Age
+definition, so opening the Age again does not reroll them.
+Repeated Block/Fluid and Feature pages remain separate entries in authored
+writing. Each unpaired material gets its own compatible feature, and repeated
+decorations use separate placement rolls. Repeated unmodified feature pages
+choose different compatible materials until their material pool is exhausted.
+
+For an in-game visual check, bind Descriptive Books with a Link Panel,
+one of Standard, Amplified, Sky Islands, Flat, or Void terrain, and the Floating Islands
+feature page in that order. Fly through each Age at roughly Y=170–220 and
+verify the elevated clusters appear above its unchanged base terrain. Reopen
+the same Age to check that island positions stay fixed. Islands should be less
+common than in the first test build (one source chunk in 128 instead of 64).
+Sky Islands should retain its terrain islands and gain occasional additional
+feature islands. Try Cave terrain too; the Binder should reject that pairing.
+
+**Skylands** is a separate subtractive feature, not the Sky Islands terrain
+profile or the additive Floating Islands feature. Following Legacy's primer
+filter, it removes base terrain below a smooth, seven-octave cutoff around
+world Y=76 and removes liquid above the cutoff. The selected terrain still
+generates first; Floating Islands and Tendrils are added afterward, so they
+can coexist with Skylands. Skylands has no Block-page modifier. It can be
+authored on every terrain, though Flat loses its low ground and Void has no
+base terrain to change. Page-free random noise Ages have a seeded one-in-eight
+chance to gain Skylands; random Flat and Void Ages do not roll this ineffective
+filter. The cloud-height and horizon changes from Legacy are not included yet.
+
+For an in-game check, compare Standard terrain with and without a Skylands
+page. Skylands should leave upper hills suspended over open space, while a
+Floating Islands page instead adds isolated high islands without removing the
+ground below. Try Sky Islands terrain plus Skylands to confirm the page filters
+the terrain rather than replacing its generator. A book with both Skylands and
+Floating Islands should retain the added feature islands above the cutoff.
+
+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.
+
+**Spheres** and **Spikes** are two separate Feature pages. Spheres adds
+winding chains of solid sphere nodes within terrain generation; like Tendrils,
+it works on all terrain families, even Void and Cave. Spikes is a later,
+rarer surface decoration (roughly one attempt per 18 chunks) that rises from
+solid ground on Standard, Amplified, Sky Islands, or Flat terrain. Cave and
+Void reject the Spikes page because they do not provide a suitable exposed
+surface. Each page accepts its own immediately preceding full-collision Block
+page; without one, the Age seed chooses a compatible material. The pages
+remain distinct in the catalog, Creative menu, JEI, ordered writing, and
+saved Age definition. Page-free random Ages can select either where compatible.
+
+For an in-game check, make separate Void/Spheres and Flat/Spikes books with
+Glowstone Block pages directly before their respective Feature pages. Spheres
+should form connected bright globes across chunk boundaries in Void; Spikes
+should appear as rare upward clusters rooted on the Flat surface. Revisit the
+same Ages to confirm stable locations. Check that a Void/Spikes book is
+rejected, and that Spheres and Spikes remain two independently selectable
+pages in Creative and JEI.
+
+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.

+The Legacy-style front spread has the Age name and author on the left and the destination panel on the right. The reference screenshots are `dev images/Pasted image.png` (front spread) and `dev images/Pasted image (2).png` (single-symbol spread). An authored book shows one full-size composed symbol on each turned right page, in the order stored in `BOOK_WRITING`; the former plain-text name and symbol ID are not shown for resolved pages. The last authored symbol is the last normal page, not a blank trailing page.
+
+The Binder records the taking player's name on the finished book; direct Age binding also records the binding player. Older books without this component display `Unknown author` rather than attributing them to whoever happens to open them. Link-Panel-only and older page-free books retain their random-Age glyph details and destination preview. On authored books, hovering the front-page name exposes the existing trait summary without filling the left page with text.
+
+The server resolves symbol display metadata from its current catalog. A missing data-pack symbol draws the unresolved page artwork and its original ID. Descriptive Books do not show writing notes or grammar warning markers; grammar validation remains in the Binder and on the server when an Age is created. Opening a book never changes its persisted Age plan. Symbol pages use the same bounded, runtime glyph composition as Page items and do not require Create, Ponder, or Immersive Portals.

+3. Open a Link-Panel-only book and confirm its existing random-Age details and destination preview still appear.
+4. In a copy of a test world, remove a data pack that supplied one authored symbol. Reopen the book: its original symbol ID should remain readable beside the unresolved artwork, with no writing-notes pages. Restore the pack and verify the page artwork returns without changing the saved Age.

+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 one full Ink Vial, 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

+
+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.

+Serene Seasons has a [NeoForge 1.21.1 release, 10.1.0.8](https://modrinth.com/mod/serene-seasons/version/B6nTjh4b), with GlitchCore required ([2.1.0.2 for NeoForge 1.21.1](https://modrinth.com/mod/glitchcore/version/S2TfWrZR)). Its [1.21.1 source](https://github.com/Glitchfiend/SereneSeasons/tree/1.21.1) shows that each `ServerLevel` gets its own `SeasonSavedData` in that dimension's data storage. Season progress is keyed to the level's day time and saved separately, so an enabled Rivencraft Age can have a season independent of the Overworld and other Ages. The public [`SeasonHelper`](https://github.com/Glitchfiend/SereneSeasons/blob/1.21.1/common/src/main/java/sereneseasons/api/season/SeasonHelper.java) can read a level's current season; it does not provide a method to register a dimension or set its season.
+
+The activation point is Serene Seasons' [`dimension_settings.whitelisted_dimensions`](https://github.com/Glitchfiend/SereneSeasons/blob/1.21.1/common/src/main/java/sereneseasons/config/SeasonsConfig.java). Its default contains only `minecraft:overworld`. On the server, GlitchCore [reloads and synchronizes](https://github.com/Glitchfiend/GlitchCore/blob/1.21.1/common/src/main/java/glitchcore/config/ConfigSync.java) this config when a player connects. Rivencraft adds successfully loaded Age IDs to Serene's in-memory list **and** its saved config so later logins retain them. Rivencraft also sends each newly added ID to players already connected. No restart is needed for a newly generated Age.
+
+Serene Seasons 10.1.0.8 has no public dynamic-dimension registration hook, so the adapter uses its config object and GlitchCore's config writer directly. This is version-sensitive: verify this path when upgrading either mod. Rivencraft checks that Serene is installed before loading the adapter; neither dependency is required to run Rivencraft.
+
+## Real-client test path
+
+1. Install matching NeoForge 1.21.1 builds of Serene Seasons and GlitchCore on the server and client. Keep Rivencraft's `Weather: Normal` for this first test, so its own fixed/accelerated weather controller does not compete with seasonal weather timing.
+2. While the client stays connected, create an Age. Run `/rivencraft age list` as an operator and note its ID (for example `rivencraft:age/winter_garden`). Confirm this ID appeared in `config/sereneseasons/seasons.toml` under `dimension_settings.whitelisted_dimensions`, with existing entries intact.
+3. Without restarting or reconnecting, travel into the Age and check `/season get`; change its season with `/season set mid_winter` and check the Overworld and another Age separately.
+4. Reconnect another client and confirm it receives the same whitelist. Restart the server and confirm both the whitelist entry and the Age's season persisted.
+5. Build separate Ages with No Seasons, Seasons, and each Eternal page. Confirm No Seasons stays absent from Serene's whitelist, Seasons advances, and each Eternal Age remains in its named mid-season across several in-game days, a reconnect, and a server restart. Verify the Overworld still advances normally. The Eternal page should not stop the Age's sun or moon. With Serene removed, No Seasons should still bind, but the other five pages should refuse to bind with a clear message.
+6. With Serene installed and `auto_whitelist_ages=true`, create several new Link-Panel-only Ages and Ages with symbols but no season page. `/rivencraft age list` shows each saved random `season:` choice. Check that No Seasons is absent from Serene's whitelist, Seasons advances, and each Eternal choice holds its season. Reopen the world and confirm the listed choices do not change. Without Serene, create another unpaged Age and confirm the list has no saved season choice for it.
+
+For a local development run, `./gradlew runClient -PwithSereneSeasons=true` adds these two mods only to that run. The published Rivencraft jar does not include or require them.
+
+The server config `rivencraft-server.toml` has `serene_seasons.auto_whitelist_ages=true` by default. Set it to `false` to manage Serene's whitelist manually. Disabling it does not delete Age IDs previously added to Serene's config. On startup, Rivencraft also enrolls existing Ages that successfully load, so installing Serene after creating Ages does not require editing IDs one by one.
+
+## Seasonal pages
+
+An Age may specify one of six mutually exclusive seasonal modes:
+
+| Page | Intended Age behavior |
+| --- | --- |
+| No Seasons | Opt this Age out of seasonal effects and progression. |
+| Seasons | Run the optional season mod's normal cycle, independently of the Overworld. |
+| Eternal Winter | Hold this Age in winter. |
+| Eternal Summer | Hold this Age in summer. |
+| Eternal Fall | Hold this Age in fall/autumn. |
+| Eternal Spring | Hold this Age in spring. |
+
+The six pages are available in the Season creative tab and the same page feed used by JEI. The writing grammar accepts at most one seasonal page, and its choice is saved in the Age plan. No Seasons removes that Age's ID from Serene's whitelist, even if it was previously enrolled; the other explicit pages enroll it regardless of the automatic-enrollment setting. When a **new** Age has no season page and Serene Seasons is installed, Rivencraft chooses one of these six modes from the Age seed and saves that choice in the Age definition. A Link-Panel-only random Age is included. The choice does not change on reload or when the spawn moves. If Serene is absent at creation, no random seasonal modifier is assigned. Older Ages without a stored choice keep their previous normal-cycle behavior. The server's `auto_whitelist_ages=false` setting still prevents implicit (unpaged) modes other than No Seasons from enrolling the Age; explicit seasonal pages override it. If Serene Seasons is absent, No Seasons remains valid, but the other five pages reject **new** Age creation with a missing-dependency message rather than silently doing nothing. Existing Ages remain loadable with their saved pages, though their season effects are inactive until a supported season mod returns. Ecliptic Seasons integration was closed as unsupported for dynamic Ages in issue #39.
+
+For an eternal mode, Rivencraft sets Serene's per-Age saved clock to the midpoint of the chosen season and resets it before it leaves that mid-season. Clients receive Serene's normal season sync. This does not freeze the Age's day/night cycle or change the Overworld's season. Eternal Winter does not guarantee snow in every biome.
+
+## Current limits
+
+- The Serene adapter uses Serene's internal saved season state because there is no public per-dimension season-freeze API. The real-client behavior above, including each eternal mode and No Seasons, still needs player verification. Serene's [temperature and precipitation hooks](https://github.com/Glitchfiend/SereneSeasons/blob/1.21.1/common/src/main/java/sereneseasons/season/SeasonHooks.java) only cool eligible biomes.
+- Serene Seasons' [season tick](https://github.com/Glitchfiend/SereneSeasons/blob/1.21.1/common/src/main/java/sereneseasons/season/SeasonHandler.java) advances from a dimension's day-time changes. A Rivencraft Age with a stopped celestial cycle may also have a stopped season; this needs an in-game check.
+- Rivencraft's non-Normal weather modes currently control weather in each Age independently. Their timing can conflict with Serene Seasons' weather-frequency changes. Ecliptic Seasons integration remains issue #39; simultaneous installation is not a supported target.
+
+## Verification so far
+
+`./gradlew build` passed for candidate 0.4.9.2, and the baseline plus archived environment GameTests passed (35 required tests). The archive now covers seasonal page visibility, exclusivity, and saved-plan persistence without Serene installed. With Serene Seasons 10.1.0.8 and GlitchCore 2.1.0.2 in the optional local runtime, the GameTest server previously crashed when Serene Seasons sent `sereneseasons:sync_season_cycle` to a GameTest mock player that had not negotiated its client payload channel. The stack trace originates in Serene Seasons' `SeasonHandler.sendSeasonUpdate`, through GlitchCore's packet handler and NeoForge's packet check. This is a GameTest mock-network limitation, not a completed absent/present compatibility check. Do not keep rerunning that suite with Serene Seasons; use the real-client test path above instead.
+
+For candidate 0.4.10.1, `./gradlew build --offline` and the focused environment archive passed (36 required GameTests). The new regression check covers omitted-page selection, explicit-page precedence, no-Serene behavior, and save/reload. Actual Serene weather, whitelisting, and eternal-season visuals still require the real-client steps above.

+# Optional TerraBlender biome compatibility (Milestone 5, issue #37)
+
+Rivencraft targets TerraBlender NeoForge **1.21.1-4.1.0.8**. The official
+[1.21.1 release](https://modrinth.com/mod/terrablender/version/4.1.0.8) and
+[region API](https://github.com/Glitchfiend/TerraBlender/blob/1.21.1/Common/src/main/java/terrablender/api/Regions.java)
+are available for this Minecraft version. TerraBlender is `compileOnly` and
+is **not** required by the published Rivencraft jar. For a local development
+run with TerraBlender, use `-PwithTerraBlender=true`.
+
+TerraBlender's API registers Overworld and Nether biome *regions*; it does not
+register arbitrary Rivencraft Age dimensions. Rivencraft therefore keeps its
+own deterministic Age biome sources and uses a guarded adapter to read the
+registered region biome IDs. Only biomes still present in Minecraft's biome
+registry are accepted. TerraBlender Overworld region biomes extend the pool
+for standard, flat, and sky-island Ages; Nether region biomes extend Cave Age
+pools and are valid authored Cave biome pages. Vanilla Nether-tagged biomes
+are also valid Cave biomes. This is generic: no Biomes O' Plenty IDs are
+hard-coded.
+
+Every registered biome receives a generated page in Rivencraft's Biome or Cave
+Biome creative tab, and in JEI when JEI is installed. Cave-tagged, Nether-tagged,
+and TerraBlender Nether-region biomes go in the Cave Biome tab. Existing vanilla page IDs such as
+`rivencraft:biome/desert` are unchanged; modded biome IDs include their
+namespace, for example `rivencraft:biome/example/orchard` for a biome named
+`example:orchard`.
+Authoring still validates the exact biome registry key. New Age plans freeze
+the selected biome IDs, distribution, and seed, so a reload with the same mods
+retains the result. If a modded biome later disappears, the Age loader warns
+and uses an eligible fallback for that load without rewriting its frozen plan.
+Restore the mod to recover the authored biome. Do not remove biome mods from
+an existing play world without a backup.
+
+## Compatibility matrix
+
+| Setup | Expected result | Validation |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Rivencraft without TerraBlender | Vanilla biome pages and Age generation remain functional; no TerraBlender classes load on the core path. | Default GameTest server and build. |
+| Rivencraft with TerraBlender 4.1.0.8, no biome addon | Same baseline pool; default TerraBlender regions add no modded biome IDs. | GameTest server with `-PwithTerraBlender=true`. |
+| Rivencraft + TerraBlender + Biomes O' Plenty 1.21.1 | BOP registry biomes appear as distinct Biome pages, with Nether-region pages in the Cave Biome tab. Its Overworld regions can enter composed standard/sky-island Age pools; its Nether regions can enter Cave Age pools. | In-game check below; this combination is not bundled in automated tests. |
+| TerraBlender present but its region API cannot be read | Log one warning and use Rivencraft's normal biome pool. | Guarded adapter fallback; intentionally not forced by GameTest. |
+
+## In-game check requested for Biomes O' Plenty
+
+Use a **new test world** with compatible NeoForge 1.21.1 builds of
+TerraBlender and Biomes O' Plenty installed on both sides.
+
+1. In the Rivencraft Biome and Cave Biome Pages creative tabs (and JEI, if installed), find
+   at least one BOP Overworld biome and one BOP Nether biome, respectively. The page tooltip
+   should identify the biome and not show an unresolved symbol.
+2. Bind a Descriptive Book with a Link Panel, Standard Terrain, a two-biome
+   distribution page, and two different BOP Overworld biome pages. Travel to
+   the Age and confirm both named biomes can occur. Reopen the same world and
+   confirm the Age still uses the same authored biome pool.
+3. Bind a second book using Cave Terrain and a BOP Nether biome page. The
+   Binder must accept the page, and the resulting Cave Age must use the
+   selected Nether biome rather than rejecting it as non-cave.
+4. Separately, run Rivencraft without TerraBlender and confirm a Link-Panel-
+   only random Age can still be created and entered. Do not reuse the BOP test
+   world for this absence check.
+
+The previous broad registry-enumeration GameTest stalled in the test server,
+so the BOP-specific and client-side checks are deliberately handed off for
+manual testing instead of retaining that stalled test.

 New Binder writing has at most one Link Panel plus 27 symbol pages. The Link Panel must be first. A Link-Panel-only book, or an older book with no writing component, keeps the existing random Age path. Any authored supported symbol makes the book a partial or complete grammar. From 0.4.3.0, the server compiles it into a persistent Age plan before consuming Binder inputs or generating chunks.
 
-The supported order follows the representable subset of the [Legacy grammar audit](LEGACY_AGE_GRAMMAR_AUDIT.md): terrain; zero or more biome pages; biome controller; weather; lighting; sky effects; zero or more period or phase modifiers; one celestial page; then zero or more distinct features. Biome pages precede the controller that consumes them, and celestial modifiers precede the celestial page. Terrain, controller, weather, lighting, sky, and celestial are single-choice categories; identical repeats are duplicates and differing values conflict. Repeated modifiers are intentional. Biome pages may repeat, preserving author order and any future weighting; feature IDs may not repeat. Angle modifiers remain recognized in the schema but are rejected at binding until a sky renderer can apply sun tilt.

-Missing terrain, controller, weather, lighting, celestial, or the controller's minimum biome count is an **incomplete** warning, not an error: the compiler retains the seed-selected profile and traits for missing branches. The minimum is zero for Native, one for Single, and two for Tiled/Grid and Tiny–Huge. Native cannot consume authored biome pages; Single accepts only one. Unknown IDs, schema-v1 display-only symbols, wrong ordering, misplaced modifiers, duplicates, conflicts, missing/extra Link Panels, and oversized writing are errors. The Binder disables output and exposes the first error on the result-slot tooltip. When that error belongs to a page, its thumbnail is tinted and outlined red, the strip scrolls to it, and hovering it shows the diagnostic. This maps the parser's compact entry position back through any empty page positions. Rejected inputs remain removable. Binding an unwritten Descriptive Book rechecks its server-owned writing and reports the first error without creating an Age. A terrain symbol whose profile is unavailable is also rejected before Binder inputs are consumed.

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. 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.
+## 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.
