Linking Book

The Linking Book is a part of the Mystcraft mod that can be used as a method to travel between ages and dimensions. When used, the player is transported to the location where the book was crafted. However, the player must be in a different dimension in order to do so.

Travel within the same dimension is possible with the correct modification.

Usage
To use the linking book, right click with the book to open it and then click on the picture on the second page. If the player uses the book by hand, the book is left on the ground and is susceptible to damage by the environment (rain, water, etc.) or players. The book can then be picked up again by shift+right-clicking it. To prevent the book from being left on the ground, right click with it on a bookstand or lectern and the book will be placed on it. It is very important to bring a linking book to the Overworld while venturing in a new age in order to be able to return.

Recipe
An unlinked linking book is crafted by placing a Link Panel and Leather anywhere in the crafting grid.

Older versions in the 0.10.x series would generate bound linking books in this manner. Prior versions used vanilla books, without linking panels or leather.

Unlinked versus Normal
When crafted, the linking book that you get is "Unbound", and behaves similar to a blank map. You take it to where you want to use it, and right-click on a singleton unbound book, and it becomes bound to that spot.

Linkbooks cannot be re-bound to a new location once bound.
