Mystcraft 164/172/1.7.10 Tutorial: Part 1: Link Books! And getting started

This is a tutorial and mod spotlight for Mystcraft 0.10.13.1 for Minecraft 1.6.4. Details: Linking Books, or, "How to get home!".

Mystcraft for 1.6.4 has changed greatly since the older, "simpler" version in 1.4.7, and even significantly from the earlier 1.5.2 and 1.6.2 versions. Many people still think that Mystcraft gives you horribly unstable worlds, or that the writing is difficult; this series aims to show just how easy and simple the mod really is.

Mystcraft IS overpowered for general use. There is no dispute there. Add-ons exist that reduce this down to a manageable level; almost all of the abuse can be cured by simply disabling the writing desk. This is discussed in detail in a later segment. For now, just be aware that linking books permit free long-distance teleportation to any place you have been to. The over-powered nature of Mystcraft comes directly from the source material the mod is based on -- the people in that world had "sufficiently advanced technology", and could do these things. The add-on "Linking Tweaks" attempts to recognize that you just don't have that level of knowledge and technology.

Perhaps you have a different/better idea. Just specify what you want (jungle tree giants will be an 8 dedication bundle.)

I am very interested in your feedback on lighting and color processing.
