# Rivencraft
|
|
|
|
Rivencraft is a clean, incremental port of the ideas and gameplay of
|
|
[Mystcraft Legacy](https://github.com/Mystcraft/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, then use it in the
|
|
air. An unbound book opens a screen where it can be named and bound to the
|
|
current location. A bound book opens its destination screen and travels when
|
|
its preview panel is clicked. 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.
|
|
|
|
Right-click an empty vanilla lectern with a Rivencraft book to convert it into
|
|
a Book Stand and place the book on it. Use a Linking Book on the stand by
|
|
right-clicking with an empty hand. Sneak-right-click with an empty hand to take
|
|
the book back and restore the vanilla lectern. Breaking a Book Stand drops both
|
|
the stored book and a vanilla lectern.
|
|
|
|
Bound Linking Books request a small, server-validated snapshot around their
|
|
destination and render its blocks as a rotating Ponder scene on the left page.
|
|
The snapshot is visual only; the server independently validates every link.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- A Java 21 JDK
|
|
- Minecraft 1.21.1
|
|
- NeoForge 21.1.251 or newer in the 21.1 line
|
|
- Ponder 1.0.82 for Minecraft 1.21.1 (client)
|
|
|
|
## Build and run
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
./gradlew build
|
|
./gradlew runClient
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The built mod is written to `build/libs/`.
|
|
|
|
## Versioning
|
|
|
|
Rivencraft versions use `x.y.z`:
|
|
|
|
- `x` changes for a major public release.
|
|
- `y` changes when a development milestone is completed.
|
|
- `z` changes for iterations within the current milestone and for bug fixes.
|
|
|
|
The patch component resets to zero when a milestone is completed. For example,
|
|
milestone 2 development follows `0.1.1`, `0.1.2`, and so on; completing that
|
|
milestone produces `0.2.0`.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
