This is the Mystcraft tutorial page. Mystcraft is a Minecraft spin on the game Myst. In Myst, the player goes to the island of Myst and uses books to travel to Ages, which are similar to new dimensions. While in Mystcraft, there is no island of Myst, but you can create Ages. This tutorial will show you how.
First, you need to create a Book Binder. You do so by filling the top row with iron ingots, and make an upside-down boat shape of wooden planks in the remaining space.
Next, create a Writing Table. You do so by making a upside-down boat shape of wooden planks at the bottom, a glass bottle in the top-left corner, and a feather in the top-right corner.
Finally, create a linking book. They are used to go back to the Overworld (The place you spawn). You create them by putting a book in a crafting table, and nothing more. The recipe is shapeless.
If you hover over the linking book, it will say, in the subtitle, "Overworld". That means that when you use it, it will send you to the Overworld, exactly where you created the book from. KEEP THE BOOK! It is vital for your survival in an age.
Place the Book Binder down, then right-click it. The following GUI will show.
MISSINGPIC
Put leather in the top-left slot, then drag paper into the large gray area. If you put too few in, your age might become unstable, producing all sorts of unpleasant affects or decay (more on that later).

If you find a dungeon , there's a chance in the chest there will be Mystcraft Symbols in the chest. They look like worn papers with intricate symbols on them. Those are vital for stable age creation! try and collect as many pages as you can. There are several ways to get pages. One of them is to find a Mystcraft Villager, who spawns in Villages.
When you find a villager, open its trading GUI (by right-clicking him/it). It will look soemthing like this:
In the top left corner, You'll see a book with a brown-orange color. That's the descriptive book. Congratulations, you've created an age!
To use the age,"hold" the book in your hand and right-click. A bok will appear, except on the right, there will be a black square. For Myst-players, You know what that will do. If you don't just click the area and dissapear into your age!
When you go to your age, You might notice affects of nausea, blindness, and other bad effects. Some of those effects come from being overground, so dig down a little and see if any effects stop. Even if some do, it's best to leave ad attempt to create a new age. To leave, hold the linking book and right-click. You will be teleport to where you made the linking book.
