This information is for MystCraft 1.4.7-0.10.1.00.
This page is only providing information on basic use of the Writing Desk and the Book Binder, not how to write a stable world or anything else, and is not affiliated in anyway with the maker(s) of this mod.
With the Writing Desk you can organize your pages in notebooks, copy pages, rename books and most important prepare the book you want to write.
It is split into two Panels, the left panel holding your Notebooks and showing their content. And the right Panel showing your inventory and a interface for books and pages.
On the left Panel middle and right click have a special meaning:
right click
copy a page
middle click
sort the pages alphabetically
left click
drag&drop pages, move them around - basically nothing special
The symbols are the D'ni numbers.
Up to 25 notebooks can be add. Careful - someone else can steal them.
The left Panel allows to organize the pages into different Notebooks, it will show the name of the book below the D'ni number.
The Notebooks do remember the order of the pages, so for making a world, add the pages in the order you like - and then use that notebook with the Bookbinder.
It needs Ink and Paper, add on the upper right a Ink Vial, and on the upper left normal paper.
Below the paper, a book can be inserted and then renamed, and its content viewed. That field is also used for the copied page - when you copy one from the left panel.
The Book Binder allows to bind your pages into a book, which actually is the portal to your world.
It needs leather on the left side.
Right click onto the gray bar - with a notebook in hands to put its pages into it - retaining the order.
Once all the pages are add in the wished order, click on the book on the upper right to bind it - afterwards it cannot be modified again.
Recipes are also available on the wiki of MystCraft.
