- Converted patch decorators also lose the share of surface columns that earlier surface patches in the declaring biomes already occupy, estimated from those patches' expected coverage in the catalog
- Canopy and surface occupancy are combined into one vegetation occlusion estimate per decorated feature
- For land biomes with known categories, the region climate tie-breaker averages only the region's templates that share a category with the mod biome, so a mixed region no longer looks temperate on average
- A small region affinity term favors regions whose templates share the mod biome's categories
- A mod biome that brings its own vegetation pays a template penalty scaled by the share of the template's top surface layer that cannot hold plants, so snow, ice, sand, and stone templates no longer swallow its trees
- The top layer palette is resolved through biome-palette snippets and weighted by palette entry weight
- Mod biomes without their own vegetation keep the closest climate template
- Ores declared only by adopted cave biomes are written to the deposits of the region each cave biome joined, scoped to those cave biomes, instead of to the cave biome itself where the deposit stage never reads them
- Ores of adopted surface biomes still go to the biome
- The worldgen catalog (format 2) records the members of every block tag referenced by a captured placed feature, so ore targets using mod block tags convert instead of passing through
- Ore conversion supports noise_based_count and noise_threshold_count placement counts
- Converted ores that produce another converted ore's host block are written ahead of it, so an ore whose host comes from a sibling ore finds that host during the deposit stage
- Patch decorators converted from features that snap to a leaf-blocked heightmap lose the share of placements that land on tree canopy in the declaring biomes
- Canopy is estimated from the tree-like features that run before the decoration in each declaring biome's vegetal step, using their expected per-chunk count and a typical crown footprint
- Patches that snap below leaves or run before the trees keep their full density
- importedFeatures gains biomeRules, which deny placed feature families or exact keys only in registry biomes matched by key, namespace, or tag; Iris custom biomes match through their vanilla derivative
- Mod ingest classifies tree-like passthrough features from the catalog feature JSON, including trees nested in random selectors, fallen trees, and huge mushrooms
- Tree-like mod features that a mod injects into vanilla biomes the pack already uses are denied in minecraft biomes, so they no longer double the pack's own trees while adopted mod biomes keep them
- Studio schema digest updated for the new rule shape
- Mod biomes pick their template across all regions by climate distance, biome category agreement from minecraft and c tags, a reuse penalty that spreads biomes over equally good templates, and the region's overall climate
- Regions much rarer than the dimension's median region are treated as themed and only receive a mod biome when nothing else fits
- Templates derived from void biomes no longer act as climate references
- /iris ingest mods accepts excludeRegions=<a,b> to keep mod biomes out of named regions; unknown region names are refused
- The mod ingest summary and manifest namespace list only include namespaces that produced at least one ingest item, so mods without worldgen content no longer print empty summary lines
- Ores converted by mod ingest use the FULL_HEIGHT deposit placement scope, so they replace their host blocks anywhere in their height band like vanilla ore features instead of being culled above the column surface
- Pack validation rejects borrowedDimensionType on platforms that generate their own Iris dimension type, with an error naming the supported loaders
- Dimension type keys and registry contracts honor borrowedDimensionType only when the platform generation registry supports borrowed types, so Bukkit always derives its generated iris type
- The Bukkit runtime contract always expects the generated Iris type; hotload still refuses a borrowedDimensionType change
- Mod ingest never selects the irisworldgen namespace or a namespace equal to a dimension key of the source pack or any installed Iris pack, so Iris's own scoped and legacy alias biomes are not adopted
- Explicitly requesting one of those namespaces is refused
- A namespace that belongs to a loaded mod is never treated as an Iris dimension alias namespace
- above_bottom and below_top ore anchors resolve against the pack's own dimension height, or the borrowed dimension type's height when the pack borrows one, instead of the vanilla dimension type
- Converted deposit heights now match the pack-relative rebase, so a 0..256 pack no longer receives out-of-world ore bands
- importedFeatures gains disabledExact, which denies normalized complete placed feature keys without matching key families
- Mod ingest puts converted feature keys in disabledExact, so converting mod:ore_tin no longer suppresses mod:ore_tin_large
- Mod ingest keeps vanilla and unselected mod features generating when the source pack already ran importedFeatures, and otherwise disables vanilla plus every unselected mod namespace that has placed features
- Studio schema digest updated for the new field
- Mod ingest compares source and target by real path and file identity, so a differently cased target on a case-insensitive filesystem can no longer resolve to and delete the source pack
- replace=true only replaces a target that contains ingest/manifest.json
- Ingest builds into a hidden staging directory and swaps it in atomically, deleting the previous output only after the new pack is complete
- Rejected target pack names outside letters, digits, underscores and hyphens before ingest starts
- Reported an existing target pack with a translated replace=true hint instead of the raw path
- IrisDimension borrowedDimensionType reuses an existing registered dimension type instead of generating one
- Pack validation rejects borrowedDimensionType values that are not namespaced registry keys
- Generation contracts record the borrowed type key and capture it as an external registry definition
- Borrowed types bind when the pack min equals the type min_y and the pack top fits, with both ranges in the refusal
- Studio hotload rejects borrowed type changes and the world check validates borrowed ranges
- Forced datapack skips generated types and presets for borrowed dimensions and accepts retained borrowed epochs
- modded.json dimensionTakeovers writes a LevelStem per level key using the irisworldgen:iris generator
- Takeover changes quarantine the level chunk, entity, POI, and Iris data before load and track applied state per world
- Fresh levels adopt generation history with content-addressed biomes instead of legacy aliases
- /iris world takeover <dimension> <pack[:dimension]|off> with help and translations in every locale
- Captured the worldgen catalog after server start, scanning registries on the server thread and encoding and writing on a worker into config/irisworldgen/catalog/worldgen-catalog.json
- Added WorldgenCatalogFingerprint over namespace versions and registry keys
- Added /iris catalog [namespace|refresh] and /iris ingest mods <source> <target> with keyed dimension, namespaces and replace options
- Added catalog messages and help entries for every shipped locale
- Added tests for catalog assembly, namespace summaries, ingest arguments, the registry scan and command registration
- ModIngester copies the source pack with IrisProjectCopier into a new target pack whose folder name becomes the dimension key, honouring replaceTarget and rejecting overlapping or already-ingested sources
- Mod biomes are classified by minecraft/c tags into land, sea, shore, and cave pools, skipping rivers, other-dimension biomes, and biomes missing the dimension tag
- Each adopted biome joins the region with the nearest land climate and copies the nearest-climate template biome with the mod biome as its derivative and no custom-biome overrides
- Template trees and procedural trees are dropped when the mod biome brings its own non-decorator vegetation
- Ore and scattered ore features become Iris deposits per target with resolved height anchors, counts, rarity, vein size, air-exposure discard, and host blocks
- Vanilla-declared ores become dimension deposits filtered to the declaring biomes when they do not cover the whole dimension; mod-only ores become biome deposits
- Surface simple_block and legacy random_patch features become Iris decorators on adopted mod biomes and on pack biomes whose derivative declares them
- Remaining features pass through native generation, with importedFeatures enabled and minecraft plus every converted key disabled
- Passthrough features shadowed by a disabled prefix or a disabled step are reported as skipped
- Mod structures are reported as adopted unless importedStructures disables them or none of their biomes generate
- The target pack records ingest/manifest.json with the catalog fingerprint, namespaces, generated and modified files, and every item
- Tests cover climate placement, biome classification, ore and patch conversion against current 26.3 formats, propagation, passthrough, manifest, idempotent replace, and pack validation

- Failed fills restore container contents and deferred native loot state
- Failed materialization remains pending without refilling completed containers
- Vanilla tables resolve from the current registry after reload

- Owned sample batches preserve request order across stripes and repeated coordinates
- Overlapping terrain batches and point requests share pending coordinate samples
- Failed terrain loads release reservations for retry
