# Rivencraft 1.0.1.2-alpha.1 — Minecraft 26.3
Experimental **NeoForge 26.3** port preview. This is a separate artifact from
the supported Minecraft 1.21.1 release, and it does **not** have feature
parity. Use a disposable test world or make a backup first. Do not migrate a
1.21.1 Rivencraft world to this alpha.
## Working in this alpha
- Rivencraft loads on Minecraft 26.3 / NeoForge 26.3.0.99 with Java 25.
- The first-party runtime Age backend creates separately seeded, persistent
prototype dimensions. The operator-only `/rivencraft_port age` commands can
create and inspect them.
- Runtime Age catalogs are synchronized and acknowledged before cross-dimension
travel. A missing or unacknowledged destination is refused.
- Operator-created Descriptive Books can enter prototype Ages.
- Handheld Linking Books can be named and bound to a location, then used from
their book GUI to return there. The destination data survives a restart.
- The Crystal Block and Crystal Shard are registered with reused art.
## Not yet ported
Normal authored Age generation, book crafting and workstations, Page symbols,
most blocks and items, portal systems, Link modifiers, the rotating destination
preview, instability, and optional mod integrations. The Linking Book GUI shows
a placeholder destination panel rather than a live scene. Generated Ages use
prototype vanilla terrain, not the player's authored Pages.
The [26.3 port status](MINECRAFT_26_3_PORT.md) and [open port issues](https://git.paddedcell.org/dnorberg/rivencraft/issues)
track the remaining work. The stable 1.21.1 release remains available
separately. Please file alpha bugs with the exact Minecraft, NeoForge and
Rivencraft versions, plus the relevant client/server log.
## Verification
- Clean 26.3 Gradle build passed.
- Disposable dedicated-server smoke test passed: two distinct Age seeds and
their terrain persisted across a restart.
- The user verified the handheld Linking Book GUI click and travel in-game on
2026-10-27.
These checks are **not** the full port acceptance matrix or a stability claim.
