Ink Mixer

The Ink Mixer is a block added by Mystcraft which uses Ink Vials and Paper to create Linking Panels.

It is also the only way to add modifiers to Linking Books and Descriptive Books

Usage
The Ink Mixer requires Ink Vials to work, one for every Linking panel made.

- Red: Ink (input) - Blue: Paper (input) - Green: Mixing area (input, see below) - Purple: Glass bottles (output) - Cyan: Linking panel (output)

The default Linking panel doesn't have any special effects. You need to add certain items to have a chance of getting the desired effects. When you do that the ink will change color and flash. The more items you add, the greater is the chance of getting the effect (no exact percentages), this is signaled by the ink maintaining its color. Some materials can add multiple effects!

Modifiers (Effects)

 * Generate Platform: regardless of what happens to the world, this book will always generate a 1x1x1 platform under the spawn location.
 * Disarm: this book will prevent all inventory items from being linked. They will be dropped at the origin and leave the user (cart chest, mob, etc.) with an empty inventory on the other end.
 * Following: this book will link with you.
 * Intralinking: this book will allow links made from the same age/dimension.
 * Maintain Momentum: now you're thinking with portals.
 * Relative: this book links similarly to Nether Portals, the destination point will be at an offset from the normal spawn equal to the distance from the spawn point of the origin age.

Relative and Following are not possible to get via the ink mixer directly. Relative has been deemed imbalanced for normal play, and was designed for use by adventure map makers. Following is planned to be craftable as a book property when book materials are added.
