The beta includes named books, Link Panel modifiers, the Ink Mixer and Book Binder, blue crystal growth, seeded random terrain/biome choices, authored terrain/biome distributions, and selected generation features. These include Rocks, vegetation, Dungeons, lakes, Floating Islands, Tendrils, Skylands, Spheres, Spikes, Obelisks, Crystal Formations, Dense Ores, and Star Fissures. Existing chunks are not regenerated. Material-bearing features accept an immediately preceding compatible Block/Fluid page; most repeated features currently cap at 32 pages. This beta also ports 15 structure families including Abandoned Camps, Caves/Ravines feature pages, the four new vegetation pages, independent Normal/Fast/Slow/Off/Always/Storm weather, and linking sounds. Non-Cave arrivals trace exposed dry surfaces from above; Cave terrain starts its search at Y=64. Not every Creative page has a ported effect; unsupported pages are tinted red.
The full writing/discovery loop, celestial/lighting systems, instability, crystal portals, random feature/environment selection, and optional integration parity are still in progress. Missing weather pages currently default to Normal. Cave terrain suppresses weather, and biome precipitation rules still apply. Use a disposable world or back it up first. Consult the [26.3 beta guide](https://git.paddedcell.org/dnorberg/rivencraft/src/branch/main/ports/mc263/README.md) for supported combinations and limitations.
Seeded/colorable skies, independent ambient color, and Normal Time Length/Phase/Direction/Angle/sun Size controls are now ported, including Number-page fine tuning and saved per-Age settings. Missing weather/lighting/sky choices use independent seeded defaults, with celestial-compatible Overworld Sky when Normal Time has no explicit Sky. Cave terrain suppresses weather; biome precipitation rules still apply. Standalone Sun/Moon, multiple bodies, eclipses, full writing/discovery, instability, crystal portals and optional integration parity remain unfinished. Client/server catalog protocol is 6: use matching builds. Use a disposable world or back it up first. Consult the [26.3 beta guide](https://git.paddedcell.org/dnorberg/rivencraft/src/branch/main/ports/mc263/README.md) for supported combinations and limitations.

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 beta; cross-version save migration is not supported. Beta saves are not guaranteed to survive later port iterations.
On 1.21.1, follow [Getting Started](Getting-Started).
