Rivencraft
Rivencraft is a clean, incremental port of the ideas and gameplay of Mystcraft Legacy to Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge.
The bootstrap milestone is complete and books/linking is in progress. The project currently provides an unwritten Descriptive Book and a functional Linking Book with persistent, dimension-aware destinations and safe landing checks. Age generation, symbols, instability, and writing mechanics have not been ported yet.
Linking Book
Craft a Linking Book from a vanilla book and an ender pearl. Sneak-right-click the unbound book to record the current location, then right-click it to return there. The destination is stored on the item and survives inventory and world saves. Travel only succeeds if the target dimension is loaded and a solid, collision-free landing position can be found nearby.
Requirements
- A Java 21 JDK
- Minecraft 1.21.1
- NeoForge 21.1.251 or newer in the 21.1 line
Build and run
./gradlew build
./gradlew runClient
The built mod is written to build/libs/.
Porting approach
Mystcraft Legacy targets Forge for Minecraft 1.12.2. Rivencraft therefore ports one subsystem at a time onto current registries, codecs, data packs, and NeoForge APIs instead of importing the legacy source tree wholesale.
See docs/PORTING.md for the initial roadmap and provenance rules.
