Suggestion: Share ages as a code
Psi lets people share their spell creations as a block of text. This is fantastic for moving spell blueprints between worlds and sharing with friends, and has even resulted in the PsiSpellCompendium subreddit.
I'd like to see something similar for Mystcraft. Using a command, you could create a code that would include all of the pages. This could then be copied into a writing desk. If you have the right symbols, they will be copied over. If you don't, it will complain in chat or something.
Expanding on this idea, here's how I think it should work:
-
A player places all off their desired pages in a writing desk, then clicks "copy". This generates a pastebin link. Alternatively, the player can place a written book in a GUI somewhere for the same effect.
-
Another player pastes the pastebin link into a writing desk
-
If the player has all of the required pages, they're automatically copied
-
If the player is missing some pages, a list of missing pages appears in chat. Where these pages would be, a ghost item is created instead. This has the same name and texture as the missing page, but is red and says "Missing page" in the tooltip.
Generating a ghost item would be convenient because it allows players to copy post of the symbols. If they don't have the right color or biome, they can easily swap it out for one they do have.
