+# Rivencraft 26.3 beta 1.0.1.41-beta.1
+
+This beta expands Age generation on Minecraft 26.3.
+
+- Descriptive Books with no authored symbol pages now choose a seeded random terrain and biome distribution. The chosen plan is saved with the Age and restored after restart.
+- A Block material page followed by a Rocks feature page now generates small clusters of that block in newly generated surface chunks. This first feature path supports Standard, Amplified, Island, and Flat terrain; Cave and Void combinations remain unsupported.
+- Expanded dedicated-server checks cover random Age plans and authored Rocks generation across restart.
+
+The player verified the Rocks feature in game. Random feature selection, duplicate feature pages, unpaired materials, and instability scoring are not yet ported. Existing chunks are not regenerated.
+
+This 26.3 port is still experimental and does not yet include all features of the separate Minecraft 1.21.1 version. Use a test world and keep a backup. Minecraft 1.21.1 saves are not supported by this beta.
+
+Requires Minecraft 26.3, NeoForge 26.3.0.99 or a compatible 26.3 build, and Java 25.

+# Rivencraft 26.3 beta 1.0.1.54-beta.1
+
+This beta collects the player-validated Age feature port slices since
+1.0.1.41-beta.1. It is not yet feature-complete with Minecraft 1.21.1.
+
+## Age generation
+
+- Rocks now use the established 1.21.1 forest-rock placement. Unmodified
+  material-bearing features choose seeded materials independently; a preceding
+  compatible Block or Fluid page selects the material explicitly.
+- Added Flowers, Trees, Huge Trees, Dungeons, Surface Lakes, Deep Lakes, and
+  Small Lakes using the 1.21.1 placement rules adapted to 26.3.
+- Added Floating Islands, Tendrils, Skylands, Spheres, Spikes, and Obelisks
+  using the existing Rivencraft generation algorithms.
+- Added blue Crystal Formations with budding crystal and initially seeded buds.
+- Added Dense Ores: repeated pages replay eligible biome ore placements,
+  including compatible modded ores and explicitly tagged custom placements.
+- Added Star Fissures: one Legacy-shaped rift near the first arrival point,
+  a starfield at the dimension's minimum Y, and return travel to the shared
+  Overworld spawn with the original fissure sound. Cave roofs are preserved.
+- Feature plans, materials, repeated occurrences, and fissure completion
+  persist across restart. Existing generated chunks are not redecorated.
+
+## Current limits
+
+- Authored features retain terrain restrictions. Most repeated features allow
+  up to 32 occurrences; exceeding the current authoring cap blocks assembly.
+  Skylands and Star Fissures retain their single-effect behavior when repeated.
+- Put a material page immediately before a compatible feature. Dangling
+  material assignment, full Legacy grammar recovery, instability, and random
+  feature selection are not yet ported. Pageless books randomize terrain and
+  biome distribution, not the newly authored feature list.
+- 26.3 combines base terrain, surface, and carving. Added solid volumes run
+  after that combined operation and before decoration, so base carvers do not
+  cut those added volumes.
+- The full 1.21.1 writing/discovery loop, structures, environmental systems,
+  crystal portals, and optional integration parity remain in progress. The
+  presence of a Creative page is not a promise that its effect is ported.
+
+Build and static checks passed. The player reported in-game passes for these
+slices. Earlier server smoke coverage was expanded, but the later generation
+slices were manually validated; this release does not claim a new full
+dedicated-server regression pass.
+
+Requires Minecraft **26.3**, NeoForge **26.3.0.99** or a compatible 26.3 build,
+and **Java 25**. Dynamic Dimensions and Bad Packets are not required by this
+26.3 build. Do not use Minecraft 1.21.1 dependencies or saves with it. Back up
+the entire world before updating; beta-save compatibility is not guaranteed.

+# Rivencraft 26.3 beta 1.0.1.65-beta.1
+
+This beta collects the player-tested port slices since 1.0.1.54-beta.1.
+It is not yet feature-complete with the Minecraft 1.21.1 release.
+
+## Age generation
+
+- Added authored structure pages: Villages, Mineshafts, Strongholds, Trial
+  Chambers, Buried Treasure, Shipwrecks, Ocean Ruins, Pillager Outposts,
+  Ruined Portals, Nether Fossils, Ancient Cities, Trail Ruins, Nether
+  Fortresses, Bastions, and 26.3's Abandoned Camps. Dungeons remain their
+  separate feature.
+- Fixed the early structure-biome check so authored structures can generate
+  outside their native biome restrictions, within the supported terrain rules.
+  Repeated structure pages increase density up to the current authoring cap.
+- Added Caves and Ravines feature pages through 26.3's native carving stage.
+  These are distinct from Cave terrain; Flat/Void support remains pending.
+- Added Poplar Trees, Fallen Poplar Trees, Red Shrubs, and Shelf Mushrooms.
+  Shelf Mushrooms find exposed logs at any height, including log Tendrils in
+  Void terrain. No Trees page is required.
+- Added Normal, Fast, Slow, Off, Always, and Storm weather pages. Each Age
+  has independent saved weather data and timers; its policy does not change
+  the Overworld or other Ages. Cave terrain keeps weather disabled.
+
+## Fixes and feedback
+
+- Non-Cave Descriptive Book arrivals trace actual blocks down from maximum
+  build height instead of using a Flat-layer shortcut or only a heightmap.
+  The search stops at roofs/fluids rather than selecting underground pockets.
+  Leaves count as footing; submerged footing is rejected. Fallback platforms
+  sit above obstructions, with floor Y=63 in an empty Void.
+- Stored surface-Age Star Fissure arrivals are rechecked from above. Cave
+  terrain still searches down from Y=64, and Linking Books retain exact
+  bound destinations.
+- Restored Legacy linking sounds and successful-link cloud bursts. Disarm
+  and Intra-Linking use their respective sounds. Star Fissure return audio
+  also plays after arrival so a dimension switch does not discard it.
+- Fixed weather-only authoring, including Link Panel + Storm books: non-biome
+  pages no longer get interpreted as biome IDs.
+- Unsupported pages now have a red tint and availability tooltip. Supported
+  pages and their descriptions reflect the implemented 26.3 behavior.
+- Added operator weather and surface diagnostics for testing.
+
+## Current limits
+
+- Only the supported page/terrain combinations can be bound. Most repeated
+  features are capped at 32; vegetation uses a combined 32-page limit. The
+  full 1.21.1 grammar recovery and instability systems remain unported.
+- Pageless books currently randomize terrain and biome distribution, not the
+  complete feature/environment list. Omitted weather currently means Normal.
+- Base carvers do not carve authored solid volumes added after 26.3's combined
+  terrain operation. Previously generated chunks are not regenerated.
+- The full writing/discovery loop, celestial/lighting systems, crystal portals,
+  instability, and optional-integration parity remain in progress. Creative
+  availability alone does not mean a page is supported; check its tooltip.
+- Vanilla `/weather` targets global server weather, not the independent Age
+  policy. Biomes retain their normal precipitation rules.
+
+The player reported in-game passes for these slices. Build/static checks passed.
+Targeted disposable dedicated-server checks covered all six weather policies,
+Overworld isolation, unload/reload and restart persistence, weather-only page
+compilation, and dry surface/leaf spawn probes. This is not a claim of full
+dedicated-server or optional-mod regression coverage. Test servers were stopped
+and their temporary worlds removed.
+
+Requires Minecraft **26.3**, NeoForge **26.3.0.99** or a compatible 26.3 build,
+and **Java 25**. This build does not require Dynamic Dimensions or Bad Packets.
+Keep it separate from the 1.21.1 build and saves. Back up entire worlds before
+updating; beta-save compatibility is not guaranteed.

+# Rivencraft 26.3 beta 1.0.1.71-beta.1
+
+This beta collects the player-tested lighting and sky port slices since
+1.0.1.65-beta.1. It is not yet feature-complete with Minecraft 1.21.1.
+
+## Lighting and seeded environments
+
+- Added Normal, Dark, and Bright lighting pages with saved per-Age settings.
+- Bright works in Cave terrain too, without adding skylight or weather.
+- Bright supplies effective ambient light level 15 to native combined-light
+  checks and the white ambient rendering attribute. Vanilla darkness-based
+  monster checks respond to that lighting; there is no separate mob-spawn
+  veto. Mobs that ignore light retain their normal rules.
+- Missing weather and lighting controllers now resolve deterministically from
+  the Age seed, using independent choices and Legacy-style Normal weighting.
+  Explicit pages win; Cave terrain still forces weather Off. Existing Ages
+  keep their saved choices rather than rerolling on load.
+
+## Sky styles
+
+- Added Overworld, Nether, End, and animated Static Sky pages, independently
+  of terrain, weather, and lighting. Choices persist on reload and restart.
+- Nether Sky uses a reddish fog backdrop; End Sky uses the native End sky.
+  These are visual styles, not Nether/End terrain or gameplay conversions:
+  dimension geometry, coordinate scale, bed/water rules, and dragon behavior
+  are not changed.
+- Static Sky adapts the existing Legacy-style renderer: six independent
+  48×48 animated gray noise faces. A cached cube and small dynamic texture
+  avoid rebuilding thousands of per-cell vertices each frame. Client-only
+  rendering resources are released with the sky renderer.
+- Non-Overworld backgrounds have transparent clouds and a derived day
+  timeline that avoids Overworld sky/fog/cloud color tracks while retaining
+  gameplay and illumination schedules.
+- Updated supported-page feedback and added operator sky/environment probes.
+
+## Current limits and testing
+
+- Missing Sky pages still default to Overworld; random sky selection, color
+  pages and individual celestial bodies remain pending. Number-controlled
+  Static Sky resolution is tracked separately in issue #109 for both versions.
+- The writing/discovery loop, instability, portals, and optional-integration
+  parity are still incomplete. Creative availability is not a support claim;
+  check page tooltips and the beta guide for supported combinations.
+- Previously generated chunks are not regenerated. Save compatibility during
+  the beta is not guaranteed; keep backups and keep both version tracks apart.
+
+The player reported in-game passes for the included slices, including Static
+Sky. Build checks passed for both version tracks. Targeted disposable-server
+checks covered environment defaults, explicit choices, registered sky/lighting
+variants, persistence and restart, including Cave + Bright and Static Sky.
+This is not a claim of complete dedicated-server or optional-mod coverage.
+Test servers were stopped and temporary worlds removed.
+
+Requires Minecraft **26.3**, NeoForge **26.3.0.99** and **Java 25**. Dynamic
+Dimensions and Bad Packets are not required by this build. The 1.21.1 release
+and its dependencies are unchanged.

+
+Collects the player-validated port slices since 1.0.1.71-beta.1. This beta is
+not yet feature-complete with the Minecraft 1.21.1 version.
+
+## Sky and color writing
+
+- Missing Sky pages now select a deterministic seeded style. Books with
+  Normal Time and no explicit Sky select celestial-compatible Overworld Sky.
+  Explicit Sky pages always win; weather and lighting choices stay independent.
+- Ported Red, Green, Blue, Black and White color pages. Preceding Number pages
+  control component strength; unnumbered colors use seeded values. Colors mix
+  before clamping the completed group. Colors before Sky tint that sky; a
+  trailing color group also targets the sky.
+- Added an Ambient Color controller for an independent ambient-light tint.
+  Color alone does not change effective illumination or monster-spawn rules.
+- Native, End and animated Static backgrounds use saved Age color settings.
+
+## Normal Time celestial controls
+
+- Length pages control the native day cycle; a preceding Number fine-tunes
+  length. Zero Length freezes the cycle at a seeded time or an authored Phase,
+  without interpolation bounce or changing the shared Overworld clock.
+- Rising, Zenith, Setting and Nadir Phase pages choose the starting phase.
+  Clockwise and Counterclockwise control direction. North, East, South and
+  West Angle pages choose orbit bearing. Preceding Number pages fine-tune
+  Phase and Angle in 15-degree increments.
+- Small, Normal and Large Celestial size Normal Time's sun to 0.5×, 1× and 2×.
+  A preceding Number overrides size from 0.25× to 3×. As in 1.21.1, the paired
+  moon remains normal-sized. Size does not alter illumination or day length.
+- Settings persist through reload/restart and remain stable when reseeding
+  future terrain. Older profiles retain native/default values.
+- Added operator diagnostics for environment, color and celestial profiles.
+
+## Compatibility and testing
+
+- Catalog protocol is now 6: use matching client/server builds.
+- Player in-game checks passed for the included slices. Build checks and
+  targeted disposable-server diagnostics covered numeric modifiers, catalog
+  round trips, unchanged sampled lighting, reload, reseed and restart.
+- Standalone Sun/Moon controllers, multiple bodies, per-body colors, eclipses,
+  full writing/discovery, instability, portals and optional-integration parity
+  remain incomplete. Creative availability does not imply full page support.
+- Number-controlled Static Sky resolution remains tracked in issue #109;
+  time-page naming improvements remain tracked in issue #110.
+- Existing chunks are not regenerated. Save compatibility is not guaranteed
+  during beta; keep backups and keep the two Minecraft version tracks apart.
+
+Requires Minecraft **26.3**, NeoForge **26.3.0.99**, and **Java 25**. Dynamic

+# Rivencraft 26.3 beta 1.0.1.93-beta.1
+
+Collects the player-validated port slices .79–.93 since 1.0.1.78-beta.1.
+This beta is not yet feature-complete with Minecraft 1.21.1.
+
+## Celestial writing and rendering
+
+- Ported standalone Sun and Moon pages and multiple independently authored
+  bodies, up to ten of each. Each controller consumes its own ordered Color,
+  Length, Phase, Direction, Angle and Size modifiers; Number pages fine-tune
+  supported values. Normal Time retains its paired sun/moon behavior.
+- Color groups before Normal Time tint both bodies; independent Sun/Moon
+  groups can use different colors. Authored moons use full-moon sprites as in
+  1.21.1; native Normal Time retains calendar moon phases.
+- Authored bodies render over Overworld, Nether, End and animated Static
+  backgrounds. Opaque centers retain transparent glows. Eclipse alignment
+  affects body color, background shading and gameplay sky light.
+- Bare Sun/Moon pages receive independent seeded colors, sizes, bearings,
+  phases, directions and lengths, including stopped cycles. Explicit modifier
+  groups retain their authored behavior.
+- Books without celestial controllers seed-complete 0–3 suns and 0–3 moons.
+  Empty skies do not accidentally draw a vanilla pair. Explicit controllers
+  suppress extra-body completion. Link-Panel-only random Ages also receive
+  seeded sky/fog colors using the 1.21.1 palette.
+- All resolved settings are saved, not rerolled by viewing a book, restarting,
+  or reseeding future terrain. Existing Age profiles remain unchanged.
+
+## Biome and feature completion
+
+- Explicit biome-distribution pages can now seed-complete missing biome
+  pools. Single selects one; other nonnative controllers require two distinct
+  biomes. Fully omitted pools use the seeded continuation rule, bounded by the
+  available biome pool. Authored pools fill only the missing minimum.
+- Supplied biome order and duplicate weights are retained. Two distinct
+  supplied biomes do not acquire an unwanted third biome. Cave pools use
+  recognized Cave/Nether biomes; Void does not inject The Void alongside
+  supplied biome pages.
+- Unpaired Block/Fluid pages receive seeded terrain-compatible implied
+  features. Consecutive materials resolve independently; explicit pairs remain
+  authoritative. Unsupported pairings and the current feature caps remain.
+- Link-Panel-only Ages roll 0–2 distinct material feature types with Legacy
+  rank weighting and compatible registered solids/source fluids. Additional
+  rare rolls cover Skylands, Crystal Formations and Star Fissures.
+- Random Ages also roll 0–2 distinct structure families, filtered by terrain,
+  registry availability and the chosen biome pool. Newer structures, including
+  26.3 Abandoned Camps, are rare candidates. An intentionally empty selection
+  disables page-controlled structure sets rather than enabling all of them.
+- Cave terrain now supports authored and randomly selected Dungeons, matching
+  1.21.1. Dungeon placement retains eight monster-room attempts per page and
+  modern build-height anchors. Flat/Void Dungeons and Cave lakes remain
+  unsupported.
+
+## Nether and End material correction
+
+- Ported 1.21.1's biome-specific material-rule layer for noise terrain. Nether
+  biomes in Cave Ages now use their native Netherrack, Nylium, Soul Sand/Soil,
+  Basalt and Blackstone rules instead of Overworld grass. End biomes use End
+  Stone. Other biomes retain the original terrain rules.
+- Geometry, biome selection, dry Cave aquifers and other environment settings
+  are preserved. Flat/Void layers and authored feature materials are unchanged.
+- Existing Ages pick up the correction after reload, but only new chunks
+  change. Already generated grass is not replaced.
+
+## Compatibility and validation
+
+- Requires Minecraft **26.3**, NeoForge **26.3.0.99**, and **Java 25**. Dynamic
+  Dimensions and Bad Packets are not required. Minecraft 1.21.1 is unchanged.
+- Catalog protocol is **10**: use matching client/server builds.
+- Player in-game checks passed for all included slices. Builds and targeted
+  disposable-server checks covered writing, seeded completion, codecs/catalog
+  round trips, terrain materials, reload, reseed and restart. Temporary servers
+  and test worlds were removed. This is not a full automated GameTest run.
+- Full writing recovery, discovery/stations, instability, portals and optional
+  integration parity remain unfinished. Random-page eligibility config also
+  remains pending; valuable/hazardous random materials currently lack the
+  finished version's instability scoring. Creative availability does not imply
+  full page support. Number-controlled Static resolution (#109) and time-page
+  naming (#110) remain separate work.
+- Beta save compatibility is not guaranteed. Back up worlds and keep the two
+  Minecraft version tracks and saves separate.

+
+Collects the player-validated port slices .94–.98 since 1.0.1.93-beta.1.
+This beta is not yet feature-complete with Minecraft 1.21.1.
+
+## Seeded terrain and biome completion
+
+- Books without a Terrain page now choose terrain using the 1.21.1 weighted
+  selector. Incompatible choices are replaced with a seeded compatible terrain;
+  explicit Terrain pages retain their authored behavior.
+- Omitted biome controllers now use the seeded weighted distribution selector.
+  Supplied biome pages are retained, with missing minimum slots completed.
+  Void without biome pages still uses The Void. Link-Panel-only random Ages
+  retain their existing selection path.
+- Missing nonnative biome pools account for authored structures. Single chooses
+  a terrain-compatible biome satisfying all structure requirements where one
+  exists. Multiple-biome distributions add compatible biomes for unmet structure
+  requirements before completing their ordinary minimum. Explicit Single
+  choices are never replaced.
+- New Native Cave Ages freeze the full recognized Cave/Nether biome pool and
+  distribute it using seeded Tiny regions, matching the 1.21.1 implementation.
+  This includes recognized modded cave biomes. Existing empty Native Cave
+  profiles retain their previous Lush Caves fallback; explicit Single is unchanged.
+- Removing Nether-style biomes from the default Native Cave pool is separate
+  planned work for both versions in issue #111, not part of this release.
+
+## Accelerated pages
+
+- Ported the Accelerated environment page. Repeated pages stack, each adding
+  three extra random positions per eligible block section per tick near players.
+- Defaults match 1.21.1: at most eight already-loaded candidate chunks and
+  16,384 extra random-tick attempts per Age tick, shared fairly across sections.
+  No extra chunks are force-loaded.
+- Limits are configurable in `config/rivencraft-local.toml`, under
+  `accelerated_age`. A zero attempt budget disables the extra ticks.
+- Page counts persist across unload/reload, reseeding and restart. Existing
+  Ages default to zero. Pageless random Ages do not gain Accelerated automatically.
+- This currently affects random-ticking blocks such as crops and saplings.
+  Machine/block-entity acceleration is deferred for both versions under issue
+  #112; entities and scheduled block ticks are also unaffected. Instability
+  scoring remains part of the unfinished instability port.
+- Operator command `/rivencraft_port age acceleration <name>` reports the
+  saved page count and current budgets.
+
+## Compatibility and validation
+
+- Requires Minecraft **26.3**, NeoForge **26.3.0.99**, and **Java 25**. Dynamic
+  Dimensions and Bad Packets are not required. Minecraft 1.21.1 is unchanged.
+- Catalog protocol remains **10**. Use matching client/server builds.
+- Player in-game checks passed. Builds and targeted disposable-server checks
+  covered seeded completion, Native Cave sampling, tick-budget arithmetic,
+  unload/reload, reseeding and restart. Test servers were stopped and their
+  worlds removed. This was not a full automated GameTest run.
+- Back up worlds before updating. New populated Native Cave profiles cannot
+  be read by earlier beta builds; do not downgrade those saves. Keep Minecraft
+  1.21.1 and 26.3 saves separate.
+- Full writing recovery, discovery/stations, instability, crystal portals and
+  optional integration parity remain unfinished. Random-page eligibility config
+  and modded biome surface-rule integration also remain pending. Creative page
+  availability does not imply full support.
