{{av}}An Age is a separate dimension accessed by creating a [[Items#Descriptive_Book|Descriptive Book]].

Using a [[Items#Book_Binder|Book Binder]], an [[Items#Ink_Mixer|Ink Mixer]], some leather, paper, and [[Items#Ink|Ink]], you can create an empty Descriptive Book.

By including [[Symbols]] in the Book Binder, you can decide which features you want in the new Age. This allows you to reduce [[Instability]] significantly.

NightOwl: /* Finding Symbols */

{{av}}

Symbols are key to creating [[Ages]] with a [[Descriptive Book]] in Mystcraft. Symbol define aspects of the Age created, allowing for customization and eliminating randomly decided aspects of the book's Age.

See [[Writing]] for how to use these symbols effectively.

== Finding Symbols ==

Symbols can be discovered a couple ways. The first and most basic way is finding a village containing a [[Archivist]]; The [[Archivist]]'s house will also contain a couple pages. The second and most common way to find Symbols would be to explore an age. Ages will have randomly spawning temples made of cobblestone that will contain several pages and possibly some [[Sealed Notebook]]s. The third and final way would be to explore dungeons. Dungeons have a chance to contain symbols and sealed notebooks.[Verify]

=Pages=

Symbols come on sheets of paper, called pages. As of 0.12.3.00 pages do not vary in quality or condition. Symbols can be written to paper or pages using a [[Writing Desk]].

=Kinds of Symbols=
==Biome Distributions==
==Celestials==
==Effects==
==Lighting==
==Visuals==
==Weather==
==World Feature==
==World Landscape==

== Modifiers ==

Modifiers allow for customizing other symbols by specifying things like colors or block types.

Modifiers are written before the symbol they modify, for instance <code>Cyan Color ➡ Sky Color</code>.

===Angle Modifiers===

Angle Modifiers are used for [[#Celestials|Celestial]] positioning. They define where on the horizon the celestial will rise.

Angles will consume other Angles and produce a point halfway between the two. <code>North</code> followed by <code>West</code> will produce a northwest angle. When more than two angles are blended, a rolling average will be used such as <code>((W + X) + Y) + Z</code>.

In cases where there are two possible averages, the average will be clockwise from the first angle. For example, <code>North ➡ South</code> will result in <code>East</code>, while <code>South ➡ North</code> will result in <code>West</code>.

===Length Modifiers===

Length Modifiers are used for [[#Celestials|Celestial]] movement, as well as [[#Gradients|Gradients]]. They define how quickly the celestial will orbit or how quickly colors will last. Lower values are faster, higher values are slower. Note that daytime is ½ of an orbit.

Lengths will consume other Lengths and produce a point halfway between the two. When more than two Lengths are blended, a rolling average will be used such as <code>((W + X) + Y) + Z</code>.

| For suns and moons, this will cause an orbit to last twice the length of a Minecraft day, or approximately 40 minutes. Suns will provide approximately 20 minutes worth of full daylight per orbit.
|}

===Phase Modifiers===

Phase Modifiers are used for [[#Celestials|Celestial]] positioning. They define where in the sky the celestial will start. This is especially relevant for celestials with fixed positions, but can also be used to have multiple celestials that rise at different times of the day.

Phases will consume other Phases and produce a point halfway between the two. When more than two Phases are blended, a rolling average will be used such as <code>((W + X) + Y) + Z</code>.

In cases where there are two possible averages, the average will be forward in the cycle from the first angle. For example, <code>Rising ➡ Setting</code> will result in <code>Zenith</code>, while <code>Setting ➡ Rising</code> will result in <code>Nadir</code>.

Mystcraft adds several [https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Item Items], mostly related to [[Writing]] and [[Linking]] to [[Ages]].

== Books ==

[[#Linking_Book|Linking Books]] and [[#Descriptive_Book|Descriptive Books]] allow for transport across (and sometimes within) dimensions (( see talk page )). They will take damage if dropped on the ground, can be protected from this damage with a [[#Book_Stand|Book Stand]] or [[#Lectern|Lectern]], and does not follow the user linking with it.

Linking and Descriptive Books can be opened by right-clicking while holding one in the Player's hand. The [[Ages|Age]] the book links to can be entered by clicking on the [[Linking#Linking_Panel|Linking Panel]] inside the book, however, the book will drop from the Player's inventory when they teleport. As a book lays on the ground, it will slowly accumulate damage that cannot be repaired. This can be avoided by placing the book inside a Book Stand. The Book Stand can be right-clicked with a book to place the book inside, and an occupied Book Stand can be right-clicked to open the book to click the Linking Panel.

=== Descriptive Books ===
Descriptive books are created by binding a [[Link Panel Page]], a piece of leather and any [[Pages]] the player chooses to add in if any. These items may be bound together using the [[v0.13:Items#Book_Binder|Book Binder]]. When used the player will be sent into the [[v0.13:Ages|Age]] and if not previously used by another player, the [[v0.13:Ages|Age]] will generate. Information on creating [[Ages]] according to the player's specifications can be found [[v0.13:Writing|here]].

=== Book Binder ===

An item used to make [[v0.13:Items#Descriptive_Books|Descriptive Books]] by binding a [[Link Panel Page]] and potential [[Pages]] using a piece of leather.

=== Linking Book ===

Linking books are created by holding an Unlinked Link Book in the hand and right-clicking with it. The link created permanently captures both the link location and the direction the user is facing when the link is created.

[[File:Unlinked_link_book_recipe.png|thumb|Crafting Recipe for Unlinked Link books.]]

== Ink ==

Ink is a key element of mystcraft that allows for the duplication of discovered [[Pages]] and the creation of [[Link Panel Page]]s for usage in descriptive books and linking books.

=== Ink Vial ===

Ink vials are used in both the [[v0.13:Items#Ink_Mixer|Ink Mixer]] and [[v0.13:Items#Writing_Desk|Writing Desk]].

[[File:Ink_vial.png|thumb|Crafting Recipe for Ink Vials.]]

=== Ink Mixer ===

The ink mixer is used to make [[Link Panel Page]]s by adding an [[v0.13:Items#Ink_Vial|Ink Vial]] and paper.

[[File:Ink_mixer.png|thumb|Crafting Recipe for the Ink Mixer.]]

=== Black Ink ===

The liquid form of ink that can be created through the use of other mods or cleaver age writing to be bottled into [[v0.13:Items#Ink_Vial|ink vials]] for use.

== Folders ==

Folders are items that hold and organize [[Pages]]. Pages stored in any type of folder can be searched using the search bar and sorted alphabetically. Folders can be stored in a writing desk for convenience.

=== Collation Folder ===

The basic folder that can hold pages

[[File:Collation_folder_recipe.png|thumb|Crafting Recipe for the Collation Folder.]]

=== Symbol Portfolio ===

A slightly more expensive version of the Collation Folder, however unlike the Collation Folder, duplicate [[Pages]] inside a symbol portfolio will stack.

[[File:Portfolio_recipe.png|thumb|Crafting Recipe for the Portfolio.]]

== Stands ==

Book Stands and lecterns are blocks used to hold [[#Linking_Book|Linking Books]] and [[#Descriptive_Book|Descriptive Books]] to display them and keep them from degrading.

=== Book Stand ===

A simple Book Stand

[[File:Book_stand_recipe.png|thumb|Crafting Recipe for the Book Stand.]]

=== Lectern ===

A nicer, sleeker, more professional looking Book Stand

[[#Linking_Book|Linking Books]] and [[#Descriptive_Book|Descriptive Books]] allow for transport across (and sometimes within) dimensions (( see talk page )). They will take damage if dropped on the ground, can be protected from this damage with a [[#Book_Stand|Book Stand]] or [[#Lectern|Lectern]], and does not follow the user linking with it.

Linking and Descriptive Books can be opened by right-clicking while holding one in the Player's hand. The [[Ages|Age]] the book links to can be entered by clicking on the [[Linking#Linking_Panel|Linking Panel]] inside the book, however, the book will drop from the Player's inventory when they teleport.

Other [[Pages]] can be added to the book before it is bound to provide descriptions to the age. If added correctly the features descried in the [[Pages]] will generate within the age, otherwise features will be added at random. Adding to many or to few [[Pages]] or adding them in the wrong order to a descriptive book before it is bound may result in [[Instability]].

Linking books are created by holding an [[Unlinked Link Book]] in the hand and right-clicking with it. The link created permanently captures both the link location and the direction the user is facing when the link is created.

== Ink ==

Ink is a key element of mystcraft that allows for the duplication of discovered [[Pages]] and the creation of [[Link_panel_pages]] for usage in descriptive books and linking books.

=== Ink Vial ===

Ink vials are used in both the [[Ink Mixer]] and [[Writing Desk]].

=== Ink Mixer ===

The ink mixer is used to make [[Link Panel Pages]] by adding an [[Ink Vial]] and paper. Adding items to the center portion after ink has been added, but before the [[link Panel Page]] is removed will allow for [[Modifiers]] to be added.

=== Black Ink ===

The liquid form of ink that can be created through the use of other mods or cleaver age writing to be bottled into [[ink vials]] for use.

== Folders ==

Folders are items that hold and organize [[Pages]]. Pages stored in any type of folder can be searched using the search bar and sorted alphabetically. Folders can be stored in a writing desk for convenience.

=== Collation Folder ===

The basic folder that can hold pages

[[File:Collation_folder_recipe.png|thumb|Crafting Recipe for the Collation Folder.]]

=== Symbol Portfolio ===

A slightly more expensive version of the Collation Folder, however unlike the Collation Folder, duplicate [[Pages]] inside a symbol portfolio will stack.

[[File:Portfolio_recipe.png|thumb|Crafting Recipe for the Portfolio.]]

== Stands ==

Book Stands and lecterns are blocks used to hold [[#Linking_Book|Linking Books]] and [[#Descriptive_Book|Descriptive Books]] to display them and keep them from degrading.

=== Book Stand ===

A simple Book Stand

[[File:Book_stand_recipe.png|thumb|Crafting Recipe for the Book Stand.]]

=== Lectern ===

A nicer, sleeker, more professional looking Book Stand

'''Mystcraft''' is a mod based on the universe introduced by Cyan's groundbreaking 1993 game, ''Myst.'' It allows you to create and travel to dimensions, called Ages, by "writing" books with symbol pages that describe aspects you wish the Age to have. A [[Descriptive Book]], when completed, has a panel that will transport the player into the Age it describes.

Be warned: Mystcraft-based transportation between vanilla dimensions, dimension from other mods, and Mystcraft Ages are one-way. A [[Linking Book]] or two will allow you to return. It is possible to get stuck in a dying Age, unable to return to the Overworld.

'''Any book used (Linking or descriptive) will stay behind.''' Returning requires either another book, or some tool from another mod. Finding and jumping into a [[Star Fissure]] will also return you to the overworld.

===Resources Needed===
The three most frequently used resources are: sugar cane, leather, and ink sacs. Setting up cane and cow farms near a squid-spawning body of water is helpful, though not strictly required. A wheat farm will help with increasing your herd.

Other resources required for a minimal setup:
* 5 smooth stone
* 12 planks
* 3 iron ingots
* 3 sand, smelted into glass, and crafted into glass bottles
* 1 feather

Some extra wood and a piece of string will allow you to make a [[v0.13:Items#Book_Stand|Book Stand]] or [[v0.13:Items#Lectern|Lectern]], and the useful [[v0.13:Items#Symbol_Portfolio|Symbol Portfolio]]

===Equipment===
To write custom Ages, craft and place:
* [[Ink Mixer]]
* [[Book Binder]]
* [[Writing Desk]] (2 blocks wide)

The Writing Desk has two primary functions: organizing symbols, and making duplicates/copies of them. It is NOT necessary, but the balance of available symbols might not be sufficient if you do not have a way to make duplicates of them.

Craft at least one [[Ink Vial]] and put it in the upper-left box in the ink mixer's interface. The ink itself will go into the center of the mixer, making a black circle, and depositing the emptied vial in the upper-right box. Put paper in the lower-left box and, provided ink is available, a [[Link Panel Page]] will appear in the lower-right box.

Put leather in the book binder, in the square slot on the left side of the interface.

===Create and Travel to a Random Age===
Take a Link Panel Page from the ink mixer and put it in the wide grey space of the book binder. The "Missing Link Panel" warning will go away. In the text box at the top of the book binder interface, type the name you give to this Age. (In ''Myst: The Book of Atrus,'' the title character named his first Age ''Inception.'') If you have additional symbol pages, they would be added after the link panel in the grey box to narrow down the specifics of your Age; however, the minimum requirement for creating a descriptive book is just a name, a piece of leather for the cover, and a linking panel.

Take your descriptive book out of the book binder. Right click with it in your hand and it will open to the linking panel.

'''Note:''' Clicking on the link panel will take you to this new Age with no way back!

Craft a [[Linking Book]] by combining a link panel page with a piece of leather in any crafting grid. It will begin as a grey, unlinked book. Right-clicking on the ground (or other nearby object) with an unlinked linking book in your hand will forever link it to that place. Doing this in the Overworld will allow you to get back. The standard link panel page can only be used to travel across Ages/dimensions. (Intra-demension linking is possible by making different ink in the ink mixer.)

It's best to bring a few book stands or lecterns with you as well. Linking transports ''you,'' but not the book that remains behind as you travel to the new Age. Books on the ground lose durability, especially if they get wet. Book stands and lecterns protect the books from this damage.

Once you have a descriptive book, one or more linked linking books, and a book stand or two, you're ready to travel. Place down a book stand/lectern and put your Age descriptive book on it. Open the book and click the linking panel on the first page. Once you arrive in the new Age, place another book stand in a safe place and put your return linking book on it.

Now you're thinking with Mystcraft!

===Next Steps===
What to do next is up to you. Some ideas:
* Quickly link back to the Overworld because this Age is hazardous!
* Explore this Age because it's not too hazardous (maybe even quite pleasant)
* Seek out symbol pages in either the Overworld or your new Age so that you can be more specific about your Age design next time
* Set up a transportation hub with a collection of linking books to useful points of interest in the universe
* Trick your enemies into linking to Ages with no return book to trap them
* Link yourself into an Age with no linking book to see if you can find a way back to the Overworld (there are a few possibilities with a little luck)
* Learn about [[Instability]] or [[Writing]] by reading these articles (spoilers!), or try to figure those things out in-game

It creates and allows travel to a new custom dimension, known as an "Age." The Ages can be random, or crafted carefully by [[Writing|writing]] a description of the desired Age with [[Pages|symbol pages]].

==Use==
The safest way to use a descriptive book is to place it on a [[Lectern|lectern]] or [[Book Stand|book stand]] first. To use a book displayed in this way, right click to open the book to the first page, then left-click the linking panel to travel to the Age described.

The same process is used with a book held in the hand, but at the risk of damaging or destroying the book itself (see Warnings:Dropped Books, below).

With books that have been written with symbols, opening the book and then clicking on the folded page corners allow you to turn the pages and review which symbols were used, and in what order. This is useful to learn about the grammar of writing, or to figure out why an Age is not what you expected.

A book on the ground is picked up by sneak-right-clicking with an empty hand.

==Warnings==
===One Way Trip===
All links to new Ages are one-way. It is highly recommended that you carry one or more [[Linking Book|linking books]] with you. Without a return linking book, you may become trapped in the new Age if there is not a [[Star Fissure|star fissure]] to jump into. Otherwise, hope that the materials necessary to create ink, paper, and other supplies are available on this Age in order to write new Ages in search of a star fissure.

===Dropped Books===
A descriptive book used to link to an Age does not follow the user. If protected by a lectern or book stand, it remains safe. However, if the book was held in the user's hand when they linked, it will drop to the ground and begin taking damage which cannot be repaired. The rate of damage is faster when exposed to liquid, such as during rain or if dropped into a lake or other body of water. Books dropped into lava are almost instantly destroyed.

===Instability===
Main Page: [[Instability]] 
Sometimes Ages are written poorly. Common writing problems include an insufficiently specific description, greed (an Age made entirely of diamond ore, for example), including contradictory elements, or simply not following the grammar used by the special form of the D'ni language known as "The Skill" or "The Art." When writing errors are made, Ages can exhibit features known collectively as ''[[Instability|instability]].''

Instability can manifest subtle ways, such as the occasional unexpected onset of undesirable potion effects, or in more spectacular and highly hazardous ways, such as a rain of destructive meteors. A particularly insidious form of instability is [[Decay]], which as its name suggests, causes the very substance of the Age itself to decay, eventually leading to its complete destruction over time. Being trapped in a decaying Age is problematic.

==Crafting==
In a [[Book Binder|book binder]], put leather in the square slot on the left side of the interface and a [[Linking Panel Page|link panel page]] plus, optionally, any desired symbol pages in the wide dark field underneath. Right-clicking on the dark field with a [[Collation Folder|collation folder]] will empty the contents of the folder, in order, into the book binder for ease of composition and binding.

Name the Age in the text box at the top, and the bound descriptive book will appear in the square box at the right of the interface.

== Books ==

[[#Linking_Book|Linking Books]] and [[#Descriptive_Book|Descriptive Books]] allow for transport across (and sometimes within) dimensions (( see talk page )). They will take damage if dropped on the ground, can be protected from this damage with a [[#Book_Stand|Book Stand]] or [[#Lectern|Lectern]], and does not follow the user linking with it.

Linking and Descriptive Books can be opened by right-clicking while holding one in the Player's hand. The [[Ages|Age]] the book links to can be entered by clicking on the [[Linking#Linking_Panel|Linking Panel]] inside the book, however, the book will drop from the Player's inventory when they teleport. As a book lays on the ground, it will slowly accumulate damage that cannot be repaired. This can be avoided by placing the book inside a Book Stand. The Book Stand can be right-clicked with a book to place the book inside, and an occupied Book Stand can be right-clicked to open the book to click the Linking Panel.

=== Descriptive Books ===
Descriptive books are created by binding a [[Link Panel Page]], a piece of leather and any [[Pages]] the player chooses to add in if any. These items may be bound together using the [[Book Binder]]. When used the player will be sent into the age and if not previously used by another player, the age will generate. Other [[Pages]] can be added to the book before it is bound to provide descriptions to the age. If added correctly the features descried in the [[Pages]] will generate within the age, otherwise features will be added at random. Adding to many or to few [[Pages]] or adding them in the wrong order to a descriptive book before it is bound may result in [[Instability]].

=== Linking Book ===

It is created by holding an [[Unlinked Link Book]] in the hand and right-clicking with it. The link created permanently captures both the link location and the direction the user is facing when the link is created.

== Folders ==

It allows you to create and travel to dimensions, called Ages, by "writing" books with symbol pages that describe aspects you wish the Age to have. A [[Descriptive Book]], when completed, has a panel that will transport the player into the Age it describes.

Be warned: Mystcraft-based transportation between vanilla dimensions, dimension from other mods, and Mystcraft Ages are one-way. A [[Linking Book]] or two will allow you to return. It is possible to get stuck in a dying Age, unable to return to the Overworld.

'''Any book used (Linking or descriptive) will stay behind.''' Returning requires either another book, or some tool from another mod. Finding and jumping into a [[Star Fissure]] will also return you to the overworld.

===Resources Needed===
The three most frequently used resources are: sugar cane, leather, and ink sacs. Setting up cane and cow farms near a squid-spawning body of water is helpful, though not strictly required. A wheat farm will help with increasing your herd.

Other resources required for a minimal setup:
* 5 smooth stone
* 12 planks
* 3 iron ingots
* 3 sand, smelted into glass, and crafted into glass bottles
* 1 feather

Some extra wood and a piece of string will allow you to make a [[Book Stand]] or [[#Lectern|Lectern]], and the useful [[#Folders|Symbol Portfolio]]

===Equipment===
To write custom Ages, craft and place:
* [[Ink Mixer]]
* [[Book Binder]]
* [[Writing Desk]] (2 blocks wide)

The Writing Desk has two primary functions: organizing symbols, and making duplicates/copies of them. It is NOT necessary, but the balance of available symbols might not be sufficient if you do not have a way to make duplicates of them.

Craft at least one [[Ink Vial]] and put it in the upper-left box in the ink mixer's interface. The ink itself will go into the center of the mixer, making a black circle, and depositing the emptied vial in the upper-right box. Put paper in the lower-left box and, provided ink is available, a [[Link Panel Page]] will appear in the lower-right box.

Put leather in the book binder, in the square slot on the left side of the interface.

===Create and Travel to a Random Age===
Take a Link Panel Page from the ink mixer and put it in the wide grey space of the book binder. The "Missing Link Panel" warning will go away. In the text box at the top of the book binder interface, type the name you give to this Age. (In ''Myst: The Book of Atrus,'' the title character named his first Age ''Inception.'') If you have additional symbol pages, they would be added after the link panel in the grey box to narrow down the specifics of your Age; however, the minimum requirement for creating a descriptive book is just a name, a piece of leather for the cover, and a linking panel.

Take your descriptive book out of the book binder. Right click with it in your hand and it will open to the linking panel.

'''Note:''' Clicking on the link panel will take you to this new Age with no way back!

Craft a [[Linking Book]] by combining a link panel page with a piece of leather in any crafting grid. It will begin as a grey, unlinked book. Right-clicking on the ground (or other nearby object) with an unlinked linking book in your hand will forever link it to that place. Doing this in the Overworld will allow you to get back. The standard link panel page can only be used to travel across Ages/dimensions. (Intra-demension linking is possible by making different ink in the ink mixer.)

It's best to bring a few book stands or lecterns with you as well. Linking transports ''you,'' but not the book that remains behind as you travel to the new Age. Books on the ground lose durability, especially if they get wet. Book stands and lecterns protect the books from this damage.

Once you have a descriptive book, one or more linked linking books, and a book stand or two, you're ready to travel. Place down a book stand/lectern and put your Age descriptive book on it. Open the book and click the linking panel on the first page. Once you arrive in the new Age, place another book stand in a safe place and put your return linking book on it.

Now you're thinking with Mystcraft!

===Next Steps===
What to do next is up to you. Some ideas:
* Quickly link back to the Overworld because this Age is hazardous!
* Explore this Age because it's not too hazardous (maybe even quite pleasant)
* Seek out symbol pages in either the Overworld or your new Age so that you can be more specific about your Age design next time
* Set up a transportation hub with a collection of linking books to useful points of interest in the universe
* Trick your enemies into linking to Ages with no return book to trap them
* Link yourself into an Age with no linking book to see if you can find a way back to the Overworld (there are a few possibilities with a little luck)
* Learn about [[Instability]] or [[Writing]] by reading these articles (spoilers!), or try to figure those things out in-game

It creates and allows travel to a new custom dimension, known as an "Age." The Ages can be random, or crafted carefully by [[Writing|writing]] a description of the desired Age with [[Pages|symbol pages]].

==Use==
The safest way to use a descriptive book is to place it on a [[Lectern|lectern]] or [[Book Stand|book stand]] first. To use a book displayed in this way, right click to open the book to the first page, then left-click the linking panel to travel to the Age described.

The same process is used with a book held in the hand, but at the risk of damaging or destroying the book itself (see Warnings:Dropped Books, below).

With books that have been written with symbols, opening the book and then clicking on the folded page corners allow you to turn the pages and review which symbols were used, and in what order. This is useful to learn about the grammar of writing, or to figure out why an Age is not what you expected.

A book on the ground is picked up by sneak-right-clicking with an empty hand.

==Warnings==
===One Way Trip===
All links to new Ages are one-way. It is highly recommended that you carry one or more [[Linking Book|linking books]] with you. Without a return linking book, you may become trapped in the new Age if there is not a [[Star Fissure|star fissure]] to jump into. Otherwise, hope that the materials necessary to create ink, paper, and other supplies are available on this Age in order to write new Ages in search of a star fissure.

===Dropped Books===
A descriptive book used to link to an Age does not follow the user. If protected by a lectern or book stand, it remains safe. However, if the book was held in the user's hand when they linked, it will drop to the ground and begin taking damage which cannot be repaired. The rate of damage is faster when exposed to liquid, such as during rain or if dropped into a lake or other body of water. Books dropped into lava are almost instantly destroyed.

===Instability===
Main Page: [[Instability]] 
Sometimes Ages are written poorly. Common writing problems include an insufficiently specific description, greed (an Age made entirely of diamond ore, for example), including contradictory elements, or simply not following the grammar used by the special form of the D'ni language known as "The Skill" or "The Art." When writing errors are made, Ages can exhibit features known collectively as ''[[Instability|instability]].''

Instability can manifest subtle ways, such as the occasional unexpected onset of undesirable potion effects, or in more spectacular and highly hazardous ways, such as a rain of destructive meteors. A particularly insidious form of instability is [[Decay]], which as its name suggests, causes the very substance of the Age itself to decay, eventually leading to its complete destruction over time. Being trapped in a decaying Age is problematic.

==Crafting==
In a [[Book Binder|book binder]], put leather in the square slot on the left side of the interface and a [[Linking Panel Page|link panel page]] plus, optionally, any desired symbol pages in the wide dark field underneath. Right-clicking on the dark field with a [[Collation Folder|collation folder]] will empty the contents of the folder, in order, into the book binder for ease of composition and binding.

Name the Age in the text box at the top, and the bound descriptive book will appear in the square box at the right of the interface.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

Mystcraft adds several [https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Item Items], mostly related to [[Writing]] and [[Linking]] to [[Ages]].

== Books ==

[[#Linking_Book|Linking Books]] and [[#Descriptive_Book|Descriptive Books]] allow for transport across (and sometimes within) dimensions (( see talk page )). They will take damage if dropped on the ground, can be protected from this damage with a [[#Book_Stand|Book Stand]] or [[#Lectern|Lectern]], and does not follow the user linking with it.

Linking and Descriptive Books can be opened by right-clicking while holding one in the Player's hand. The [[Ages|Age]] the book links to can be entered by clicking on the [[Linking#Linking_Panel|Linking Panel]] inside the book, however, the book will drop from the Player's inventory when they teleport. As a book lays on the ground, it will slowly accumulate damage that cannot be repaired. This can be avoided by placing the book inside a Book Stand. The Book Stand can be right-clicked with a book to place the book inside, and an occupied Book Stand can be right-clicked to open the book to click the Linking Panel.

=== Descriptive Books ===
Descriptive books are created by binding a [[Link Panel Page]], a piece of leather and any [[Pages]] the player chooses to add in if any. These items may be bound together using the [[Book Binder]]. When used the player will be sent into the age and if not previously used by another player, the age will generate. Other [[Pages]] can be added to the book before it is bound to provide descriptions to the age. If added correctly the features descried in the [[Pages]] will generate within the age, otherwise features will be added at random. Adding to many or to few [[Pages]] or adding them in the wrong order to a descriptive book before it is bound may result in [[Instability]].

=== Linking Book ===

It is created by holding an [[Unlinked Link Book]] in the hand and right-clicking with it. The link created permanently captures both the link location and the direction the user is facing when the link is created.

== Folders ==

Folders are items that hold and organize [[Pages]]. Pages stored in any type of folder can be searched using the search bar and sorted alphabetically. Folders can be stored in a writing desk for convenience.

=== Collation Folder ===

The basic folder that can hold pages

[[File:Collation_folder_recipe.png|thumb|Crafting Recipe for the Collation Folder.]]

=== Portfolio ===

A slightly more expensive version of the Collation Folder, however unlike the Collation Folder, duplicate [[Pages]] inside a portfolio will stack.

[[File:Portfolio_recipe.png|thumb|Crafting Recipe for the Portfolio.]]

== Stands ==

Book Stands and lecterns are blocks used to hold [[#Linking_Book|Linking Books]] and [[#Descriptive_Book|Descriptive Books]] to display them and keep them from degrading.

=== Book Stand ===

A simple Book Stand

[[File:Book_stand_recipe.png|thumb|Crafting Recipe for the Book Stand.]]

When used the player will be sent into the age and if not previously used by another player, the age will generate. Other [[Pages]] can be added to the book before it is bound to provide descriptions to the age. If added correctly the features descried in the [[Pages]] will generate within the age, otherwise features will be added at random. Adding to many or to few [[Pages]] or adding them in the wrong order to a descriptive book before it is bound may result in [[Instability]].

=== Linking Book ===

It is created by holding an [[Unlinked Link Book]] in the hand and right-clicking with it. The link created permanently captures both the link location and the direction the user is facing when the link is created.

== Folders ==

Folders are items that hold and organize [[Pages]]. Pages stored in any type of folder can be searched using the search bar and sorted alphabetically. Folders can be stored in a writing desk for convenience.

=== Collation Folder ===

The basic folder that can hold pages

=== Portfolio ===

A slightly more expensive version of the Collation Folder, however unlike the Collation Folder, duplicate [[Pages]] inside a portfolio will stack.

== Stands ==

Book Stands and lecterns are blocks used to hold [[#Linking_Book|Linking Books]] and [[#Descriptive_Book|Descriptive Books]] to display them and keep them from degrading.
