Linking Through the Ages

by Floydman

Linking Through the Ages is a Forge add-on for Mystcraft that fills the in-game guidebook with the Myst series' linking-book lore.

ForgeClient and serverGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.12.2

What it does

The mod adds a guidebook that comes with Mystcraft and gives instructions for its linking books. The default book is handed to each player on first spawn, and the config file can turn that feature off. Players who come across an additional volume during adventures will find the extra text as well.

Linking Through the Ages requires both Mystcraft and Guidebook to display its contents properly, and it also needs the More Mystcraft section, which it includes. Problems should go to the Issues link, since the Guidebook authors handle issues with their own mods.

Forge is the only loader covered, with 1.12.2 as the only game version. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The latest file is 1.12.2-1.4.1 for 1.12.2, dated 2025-11-01.

Key features

  1. Guidebook content

  2. Default book on spawn

What the author says

Linking Through the Ages (LTTA) is a guidebook for Mystcraft, a mod that adds elements from the Myst series of video games by Cyan, Inc. Mystcraft does not come with any in-game instructions, so Linking Through the Ages is made to fill that void. (You may also come across an additional volume during your adventures.)…
