+Sky writing includes eight color pages and a Static Sky page. Multiple sky-color

+surface of portals linked there. Multiple celestial-color pages blend for the

+Static Sky animates the sky with television-like noise. Sun and Moon pages add
+independent bodies; preceding color, size, angle, period, phase, and direction
+pages configure the next body. The third and each subsequent sun add increasing

+color, and celestial arrangement from their Age seed; older saved Ages retain

+Legacy's closest terrain generator is its Nether terrain symbol: it owns an
+Age-seeded octave-noise generator, accepts terrain/sea materials, and sets a

+exact Legacy noise or its older vertical layout. The Caves feature page
+remains a separate additive carver for other suitable terrain.

+Cave Ages search for safe spawn footing from Y=64 downward rather than using

 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.

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.

+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 -PwithJei=true runGameTestServer` | Passed; dedicated GameTest server loaded JEI 19.69.0.457 and all 74 required tests passed. |
+| `./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;
+it was stopped. The two successful pre-pin runs above used the same JEI version
+and code, with the dependency supplied by a Gradle property override.

+# 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.

 `poem` is optional, client-safe artwork metadata: exactly four alphabetic words, ordered top, right, bottom, left. The client layers their glyphs from the shared Legacy component sheet at runtime. GUI thumbnails use the full transparent artwork over their page backgrounds; item icons use the same artwork reduced from 16 to 13 pixels across, over the page texture. Unregistered words use a stable generated component combination; when a symbol has no poem, the six original built-in IDs retain their Legacy poems and other IDs produce four stable fallback words. This affects appearance only, never Age generation. Generated images are cached up to 256 entries and discarded on resource reload.
 
-The Writing Desk's 88 collection tabs use Legacy's number components, chiefly the bottom row of `symbolcomponents.png`, rather than word sigils. Legacy's `ModWords.constructNumber` combines four unit marks (1–4) with four five-step marks (5–20) to form 1–24 and uses a separate zero mark. Rivencraft extends these marks positionally in base 25 for tabs 25–88 (for example, 25 is 1 followed by 0). Hovering still reveals the decimal number for accessibility. The former arbitrary-word glyph generator remains useful for rendering text: on page-free Descriptive Books, the generated Age description now appears as a sequence of layered word glyphs instead of Minecraft's enchantment font. The Age name stays readable.
+The Writing Desk retains 88 collection tabs, numbered from zero as in Legacy. Legacy's `ModWords.constructNumber` defines 0 as component 1 and 1–24 by overlaying a unit mark (1–4) and a five-step mark (5–20) from the bottom row of `symbolcomponents.png` in the *same square*. Legacy's Writing Desk has 25 tabs (0–24) and scrolls its four-tab window **one tab at a time**. Thus the supplied Legacy screenshots labeled 1–4, 5–8, and so on show overlapping windows, not 88 distinct numerals. Rivencraft retains its previously requested four-at-a-time navigation and 88 tabs. Its additional tab numbers use positional base 25: each place is an overlaid Legacy digit, with the places side by side (25 = 1,0). The two glyphs are sized and positioned to fit the tab. Hovering reveals the decimal tab index for accessibility. The generated-word mechanism renders page-free Descriptive Book text as layered glyphs instead of Minecraft's enchantment font. The Age name stays readable.
