## Required mods
For **Minecraft 1.21.1**, install Rivencraft, **Dynamic Dimensions AR Edition 0.9.1**, and **Bad Packets 0.8.2** on both client and server. A singleplayer installation needs these same required mods.
For the **Minecraft 26.3 alpha**, install only its matching Rivencraft JAR with NeoForge 26.3.0.99 and Java 25. The 26.3 port has a first-party prototype Age backend and does **not** use Dynamic Dimensions or Bad Packets. Do not add the 1.21.1 dependencies to a 26.3 instance. The 26.3 alpha currently supports basic named Linking Books and Descriptive Books, but not Page-authored generation, crafting stations, portals, modifiers, live previews, or the optional integrations below. Use a disposable world or back it up first.

The alpha supports basic named Linking Books and Descriptive Books, a Link Panel Page made from paper and an Ink Vial, leather + Link Panel crafting for an unwritten Linking Book, and the blue Crystal growth chain. Its Ages still use prototype vanilla terrain. Page-authored generation, crafting stations, portals, modifiers, live previews, and the optional integrations below remain unported.

## Optional integrations (1.21.1 only)

Stop the server and back up the **entire world folder**, not just an Age's dimension folder. Age definitions, books, and dimension data must be restored together. Do not migrate a 1.21.1 Rivencraft world to the 26.3 alpha; cross-version save migration is not supported. Alpha saves are not guaranteed to survive later port iterations.
On 1.21.1, follow [Getting Started](Getting-Started). If a book opens but its Age will not load, see the [Age recovery guidance](https://git.paddedcell.org/dnorberg/rivencraft/src/branch/main/docs/AGES.md#administrator-recovery).
