+Crystal frames may stand vertically or lie flat: a 3×3 Crystal Block ring with
+an empty center forms a horizontal portal when a Book Receptacle is attached to
+the top or underside of one of its blocks. Insert a bound Linking or Descriptive
+Book to activate it; the book remains visible on the receptacle. A Linking Book aimed at its
+own dimension still opens a visual portal, but travel requires Intra Linking.

+Sky writing includes eight color pages and a Static Sky page. Multiple sky-color
+pages blend their colors, tinting the Age sky, book preview, and the fallback
+surface of portals linked there. Multiple celestial-color pages blend for the
+next written sun or moon. An Age may have no suns or moons at all;
+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
+instability. Newly generated page-free Ages also choose a deterministic sky,
+color, and celestial arrangement from their Age seed; older saved Ages retain
+their previous sky.

+### Cave terrain and Legacy
+
+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
+sea level of 32. Legacy's separate Caves symbol instead registers a terrain
+alteration that carves additional caves; it is not a terrain generator.
+Minecraft 1.21.1 no longer has Legacy's 1.12.2 height and generation pipeline,
+so Rivencraft Cave terrain uses `minecraft:caves` noise and the modern Cave,
+Nether, and tagged modded Nether biome decorations. It cannot reproduce the
+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 cave roof; if necessary, the usual cloud platform is placed at Y=63.
+Weather is clear and Serene Seasons is disabled in Cave terrain. Authored
+Weather, Season, and Celestial pages (including time modifiers) are retained
+in the book but have no effect on the Cave Age; each adds 100 base instability.
+The same policy applies to randomly selected Cave terrain and persists through
+save/reload. Cave biome selections remain limited to Cave and Nether biomes;
+surface-biome completion is not used for Cave terrain.

 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.

 `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.
