# Rivencraft 26.3.0.3

For **Minecraft 26.3**, **NeoForge 26.3.0.99** and **Java 25**.

## Book preview exploration

- The eye button now matches 1.21.1: it grabs the mouse for look-only exploration
  while the destination view remains inside the book panel. Movement is disabled.
- Right-click returns to the ordinary book controls without releasing the preview.
  Books on stands retain their disabled exploration button.
- Fixed the exit crash caused by a forced render and duplicate Reborn render-target
  submission. Pending target submissions are reused until the renderer drains them.
- Removed remaining Beta branding from the in-game mod name/description.

## Port acceptance and maintenance

- Completed dedicated-server restart/return-link acceptance for #100, following
  the two-client matrix and its manual handoff. The player confirmed return travel.
- Added changed-target build/smoke workflows, sequential test-server exclusion and
  repeatable dual-version validation commands.
- Hardened release uploads against mismatched filename, embedded version,
  Minecraft/Java target and accidental test-fixture packaging. The 1.21.1 metadata
  declares its required Dynamic Dimensions AR and Bad Packets dependencies.
- Documented the feature parity review and ongoing independent support of 1.21.1.
  Existing 1.21.1 code and published artifacts are unchanged.

## Validation and known issues

The player passed the live-view exploration/right-click/re-entry check and the
dedicated-server Age restart/Linking Book return check. The expanded-catalog
two-client matrix passed creation/catalog/travel/stale-ack/lifecycle checks;
its final return step stalled and was completed by the player, not retried.
Release-tooling checks pass. No optional mod or test fixture is bundled.

**Known issue #116:** Static Sky can leak outside book previews with Reborn.
It remains separately tracked. Other shared follow-ups remain open where needed.
Create/Ponder is not ported to 26.3. Without Reborn, built-in animated previews
and normal book/portal travel remain available. 1.21.1 saves are not imported.
