1.0.1.142-beta.1 — Reborn live crystal portal surfaces

Use Reborn 7.0.12 for NeoForge 26.3, CurseForge file 9435354, with NeoForge 26.3.0.99. Use one portal fork and matching Rivencraft builds on a server/client.

Implemented and validated:

• One continuous view per opening on each side, masked to the portal cells.
• Correct destination eye-height reference; Linking Book facing and Descriptive Book inherited facing.
• Native surfaces render only; Rivencraft's blocks retain transport and effects.
• Fallback model hidden only for established live surfaces.
• Maintenance restores views after restart and removes them on shutdown/removal.
• Optional server setting [book_previews] reborn_crystal_live_views = false retains animated surfaces and ordinary portal travel.

68 server checks and five restart checks passed, plus a real dedicated/client live-view and walking-through check. Screenshots were inspected and the user reported success. Temporary worlds were deleted and fixture sources removed.

Useful follow-up manual coverage:

1. Try both book types, compare portal arrival to using the same book, and inspect both sides of the frame.
2. Try taller, horizontal and irregular frames; check that frame edges occlude the scene and the view does not repeat per cell.
3. Restart, revisit, remove/reinsert the book and break a frame block.
4. Check a destination with different sky/lighting and an initially unloaded destination area.

The initial synthetic render fixture used a blocked Y=1 target; that was corrected to the resolved Y=4 surface. No global landing-height behavior was changed.
