+Newly created Ages place a 5×5 solid platform instead of cobblestone at their saved spawn. The block has full collision, renders as an opaque full block, breaks as easily as glass (0.3 hardness), has no loot table, and cannot be obtained with pick-block. Existing Ages retain their already-placed platform blocks, which adopt the new appearance and hardness without altering saved terrain.

-The block texture is `assets/rivencraft/textures/block/cloud_platform.png`, verified at exactly 16×16 RGBA. Legacy's supplied assets contain no cloud-block texture, so this one was generated with the built-in image tool, then reduced by nearest-neighbor sampling. The final prompt requested a seamless Minecraft block-face pixel-art tile with 2–3 chunky white, icy-blue, and powder-blue cloud swirls, genuine transparent holes between them, strong 16×16-scale contrast, and no background or text.
+The model reuses `assets/rivencraft/textures/block/crystal_block.png`, the 16×16 Legacy crystal tile. The former generated cloud texture is removed. The internal block ID remains `rivencraft:cloud_platform` to preserve saved worlds.

 The separate [decay provider](INSTABILITY_DECAY.md) protects the saved spawn area by position, so its protection remains in force regardless of the platform's material.

+Legacy's travel path creates no automatic Return Link. Rivencraft now defaults to `DISABLED` in new server configs while retaining `ON_CREATION` and `ALWAYS` as opt-ins. Existing saved server configs keep their explicit value. Issue #85 adds the active-book drop only to hand-held Linking and Descriptive Book travel. On a successful link, the exact active stack becomes a dedicated `DroppedBookEntity` at the departure point, rendered with the same open `BookModel` and textures as the book stand; a rejected link restores it to the original hand. Stand and portal use leave their books in place. The entity has unlimited vanilla lifetime and loses one of its five item-health points every 10,000 loaded ticks, plus one per wet tick, matching Legacy's slow/wet decay. Unlike Legacy's custom entity, the modern book is picked up by ordinary contact, not sneaking with an empty hand, and remains subject to ordinary item hazards. Following is not yet a Rivencraft modifier, so no Following exception is exposed or silently simulated. Both hands can activate a book, whereas Legacy's explicit stack removal tested only its selected main-hand slot.

+criteria. `link_panel`, `copy_page`, `bind_age`, `open_portal`, and `enter_age`
+use an impossible criterion awarded only after the server commits the
+corresponding action. The Age-travel award requires a successful book or portal
+link ending in a registered Rivencraft Age. Opening a book GUI, rendering a
+destination preview, viewing a recipe, or merely loading an Age cannot award
+it. Progress is stored by Minecraft per player and survives world restarts.
+
+Vanilla recipe-book unlock advancements now cover the Writing Desk, Ink Mixer,
+Book Binder, and Notebook, in addition to the existing Ink Vial, Crystal
+Block, and Book Receptacle unlocks. The component-sensitive Linking Book
+crafting recipe remains a special recipe: its Link Panel requirement and the
+Writing Desk/Ink Mixer/Book Binder processes are explained by Rivencraft's
+optional JEI integration. No recipe or advancement requires JEI, Create, or
+Immersive Portals to be installed.
+
+Manual Survival check: collect a Page and Linking Book; use the Ink Mixer to
+take a Link Panel; copy a Page at the Writing Desk; bind a Descriptive Book;
+enter its Age; activate a Crystal Portal. Confirm each advancement appears
+only after the completed action, not from an output preview or GUI opening.
+Repeat the actions with two players to confirm only the actor receives each
+award. Restart an existing save and confirm completed progress remains, then
+complete one previously unearned milestone. With JEI absent, the vanilla
+recipe book should still reveal standard crafting recipes as their ingredients
+are discovered; with JEI installed, the special writing guides should appear.

+
+Reviewed 2026-10-19 for Minecraft 1.21.1. The project now compiles against
+NeoForge 21.1.264 and advertises that as its minimum. The official
+[NeoForge Maven metadata](https://maven.neoforged.net/releases/net/neoforged/neoforge/maven-metadata.xml)
+lists 21.1.264 as the newest 21.1 release. Its
+[changelog](https://maven.neoforged.net/releases/net/neoforged/neoforge/21.1.264/neoforge-21.1.264-changelog.txt)
+includes received split-packet size checks (21.1.260), network setup payload
+direction/decoding limits (21.1.261), ad-hoc channel identifier limits
+(21.1.262), and an initial attachment-sync fix (21.1.264). Those are concrete
+reasons to evaluate an upgrade, but do not by themselves prove Rivencraft and
+its optional integrations work on that loader.
+
+**Decision: adopt 21.1.264 beginning with 0.6.6.2.** An override build
+succeeded, but its GameTest server repeated its storage-progress display
+without producing test results. That run was stopped; it is neither a pass nor
+evidence of a NeoForge defect. The player subsequently passed an in-game
+singleplayer test on 21.1.264 with the optional stack, then passed a dedicated
+server test including Immersive Portals travel to a Rivencraft Age. The
+dedicated server also reached the ready state with only the required mods
+before the full optional stack was installed. Both modes used Rivencraft
+0.6.6.1. The earlier 21.1.251 baseline passed 70 required GameTests for

+now targets JEI 19.69.0.457 after the client's in-game acceptance check. JEI
+remains a `compileOnly` API and an opt-in
+`localRuntime` dependency for development; the published mod has no required
+JEI dependency.
+
+The [official 1.21.1 NeoForge files](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/jei/files/all?page=1&pageSize=20&version=1.21.1)
+list 19.69.0.457 (beta, 2026-10-20) after 19.64.0.455 (release, 2026-10-16).
+The [19.69.0.457 Modrinth changelog](https://modrinth.com/mod/jei/versions?g=1.21.1&l=neoforge)
+has a published-jar bytecode compatibility check. Its preceding 19.69.0.456
+build changes ingredient search to Lucene and adds a runtime ingredient-search
+refresh API. This makes page search a required client check, even though the
+current Rivencraft plugin still compiles against the 457 API. The new Maven
+runtime artifact is much larger (about 7 MB versus 2.3 MB for 455); a successful
+compile alone is not evidence that its runtime plugin works.
+
+Checks performed before changing the pinned dependency:
+
+| Configuration | Result |
+| --- | --- |
+| `./gradlew -Pjei_version=19.69.0.457 -PwithJei=true build` | Passed; existing JEI API uses compile with four deprecation warnings and no errors. |

+| `./gradlew -Pjei_version=19.69.0.457 runGameTestServer` | Passed without JEI; all 74 required tests passed. |
+| Prism client with JEI 19.69.0.457 and Rivencraft 0.6.6.6 | Client joined an integrated world; JEI registered Rivencraft extra ingredients and started without a JEI-plugin exception. The player reported an in-game pass for guide display, page search, and recipe visibility. |
+
+On first 457 launch, JEI migrated its old `lowMemorySlowSearchEnabled` config
+key and saved a backup of the original `jei-client.ini`; that warning was
+handled by JEI and did not block startup. No Rivencraft config was changed.
+
+The in-game acceptance report covers the visible JEI integration. A dedicated
+GameTest server proves no server-side startup failure but does not exercise the
+JEI GUI; keep page search, recipes, blank-Page hiding, and the Ink Mixer,
+Writing Desk, and Book Binder guides in future upgrade checks. JEI is not
+bundled into or required by the published Rivencraft jar.
+
+The final pinned `0.6.6.7` build passed. A repeat GameTest run from the pinned
+configuration stalled during test-world preparation before running any cases;

+The source is the local Mystcraft 0.13.7.06 extraction under
+`/home/dnorberg/Documents/mystcraft-src/mystcraft-1.12.2-0.13.7.06/`.
+Reused textures and OGG files are recorded in [asset provenance](ASSET_PROVENANCE.md).

+
+## Legacy comparison and modern boundary
+
+- The Crystal Block, Book Receptacle, and 16×512 portal animation already use
+  Legacy sprites. The Receptacle's 16×16×6 model already matches the Legacy
+  slab. The fallback portal now uses Legacy's four-pixel-deep, double-faced
+  `linkportal_ns.json` geometry, with the original animation; it declares a
+  translucent render layer and portal particle texture. The block remains
+  non-occluding. When Immersive Portals supplies a live view, the fallback
+  model is hidden, while the crystal frame is drawn over the view.
+- The Age arrival platform now reuses the same Legacy crystal tile as Crystal
+  Block. It is an opaque, occluding full block, while retaining its empty loot
+  table and unobtainable pick-block behavior. It has glass-like 0.3 hardness.
+  The old cloud sprite is unused and removed.
+- The Book Binder now includes the two inner braces and central press/book
+  piece omitted by the earlier model, using the existing byte-identical
+  Legacy textures. The Ink Mixer uses Legacy's `inkwell_model.json` geometry
+  and four original inkwell textures. A thin white paper surface replaces the
+  black paper appearance from the reference; the old simplified mixer tiles
+  are no longer used. The half-alpha glass atlas is intentionally rendered on
+  a cutout layer; its more opaque look passed the player's in-game check.
+- Legacy's link listener selects Disarm before a custom portal sound, then
+  Following, Intra Linking, and ordinary Link. Rivencraft has no Following
+  modifier yet, so it selects Disarm, portal, Intra Linking, or ordinary Link
+  in that order. The Disarm and Intra OGGs are byte-identical Legacy copies.
+- Legacy sends 50 small neutral link particles in roughly a one-by-two-block
+  region at both departure and arrival. Its fixed-function particle class is
+  not portable to 1.21.1. Rivencraft uses a one-shot burst of 50 vanilla Cloud
+  particles at both ends, emitted only after successful server-authoritative
+  travel. There is no continuous portal-particle loop in the inspected Legacy
+  `BlockLinkPortal` class, so the portal surface itself adds none.
+- The Legacy `textures/entity/linkbook.png` and `linking/pop.ogg` are inspected
+  but not copied in this slice. The custom dropped Linkbook entity is part of
+  #85; adding its assets before the entity exists would leave unused resources.
+  Library walls, shelves, chest, and webs use vanilla blocks in the template,
+  so there are no separate library art files to port.
+
+## Manual visual/audio check
+
+Use the same bound book in a held use and a Crystal Portal. Confirm the link
+particles and audio play at both ends, and the portal landing matches the book.
+Repeat with Disarm and Intra Linking panels to check the distinct sounds.
+Compare the fallback portal, crystal frame, and Receptacle with Immersive
+Portals absent; verify the animated surface is visible from both sides and
+does not expose caves or other geometry through solid blocks. With Immersive
+Portals installed, confirm the live view replaces only the fallback surface,
+the frame draws in front, and no fallback texture covers the live view.
+Create/Ponder is optional and must not affect either rendering path.
+Check a freshly generated arrival platform from above and below: the crystal
+tile should be opaque, break about as quickly as glass, and drop no block item.
+Compare the Book Binder press and Ink Mixer cup/glass against the `dev images`
+references; the mixer paper should appear white, and neither block should
+show missing-texture checkerboards or see-through-world artifacts.
+
+The player reported that the in-game visual and audio checks pass on 2026-10-19,
+including acceptance of the cutout glass appearance and current block sounds.
