Rivencraft 26.3 beta 1.0.1.129-beta.1

Collects the player-validated .121–.129 port slices since 1.0.1.120-beta.1. For Minecraft 26.3, NeoForge 26.3.0.99 and Java 25. The independent Minecraft 1.21.1 release is unchanged. Full parity and optional integrations remain in progress.

Instability hazards and live profiling

• Ported lightning, explosions, falling meteor effects, burning and erosion with bounded loaded-chunk scans, spawn protection, claim events and configurable world/entity damage. Meteor flight uses the existing sound and particle effects.
• Natural hazards choose randomized locations; operator test commands provide targeted checks with independent cooldowns. Erosion retains its requested testing default of enabled above 10,000 effective instability, outside the Legacy deck.
• Ported persistent live material profiling, including native ores, valuable blocks, recognized installed-mod materials and configurable modded block weight overrides. No content mod is required. Profiling starts scoring after 401 Age and 500 Overworld baseline samples, with bounded gradual background sampling while an eligible Age is occupied. A chunk snapshot is counted once.
• Effective instability and deterministic provider selection now update as material abundance is measured; the original writing contribution remains frozen. Added difficulty scaling and operator-only sampling/score diagnostics. Older neutral Ages remain neutral. Normal book/Binder screens do not reveal scores.

Ordered writing recovery

• Repeated singular terrain, distribution, weather, lighting and sky controllers use the last choice, adding 500 instability per duplicate/conflict. Category-order mistakes add 100. Native distribution ignores supplied biomes; Single retains the first biome when too many are supplied, with conflict penalties.
• Repeated celestial modifiers use the final pending value of each kind. Dangling modifiers and misplaced/trailing numbers allow binding and add 100 instability. Numbers only attach to the immediately following supported target.
• Preserved original book/library pages, ordered color mixing and independent celestial chains. A trailing modifier cannot change an earlier sun or moon. Unported pages, unsupported combinations and body limits remain enforced.

Link Modifier station

• Added the creative-only Link Modifier with its existing model, textures and Legacy single-book GUI. There is no crafting recipe.
• Books can be renamed and edited through all six controls: Disarm, Intra-Linking, Intra-Linking Only, Maintain Momentum, Relative Link and Generate Platform.
• Intra-Linking Only enables Intra-Linking and prevents cross-dimension Linking Book travel. Both intra controls are unavailable for Descriptive Books.
• Relative Link preserves the traveller's offset from the source dimension spawn at the destination spawn. Linking Book platform generation defaults off; Descriptive Book fallback platforms default on and can be disabled.
• Player and non-player portal paths share the new properties. Book contents and flags persist in the station. Removal releases its stored book.
• Fixed the controls ignoring real clicks: 26.3 left-click is button 1, not 0. Registered native button widgets now handle input, focus, sound and state tooltips.

Validation and remaining work

The player passed every included slice, including the six controls and click fix. Both Minecraft builds pass (no standalone Gradle test sources). Targeted temporary checks covered grammar/celestial recovery, component serialization, station actions, platform rules and dedicated-server save/restart behavior. Live profiling was checked with real snapshots plus synthetic threshold records; natural gameplay was validated by the player. Temporary servers were stopped and their test worlds removed.

Link Modifier seed editing/retirement, remaining discovery/config policy and optional integrations are not complete. Live previews remain unavailable; books and portals use the animated fallback. Crumble has no active 1.21.1 handler and is not invented in this port. The dual-version follow-up issues and full multiplayer/parity gate remain open. Use matching client/server beta builds and keep Minecraft version tracks and their saves separate.
