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.
