Hello! So, this is my first mod (even though it's an just an addon) I've finished enough I was willing to publicly release...
But here it is:
DYNAMIC LINKING PANELS
This mod gives you a peek into the other dimensions/ages of mystcraft before you link into them.
This will work with any linking book, showing you the age before you even link to it! No more do you have to worry about decay having taken over the world while you were gone, or pesky other players filling your spawnpoint with lava!
*Super Speedy 9000 Update*
The linkbook world will start displaying as little as a second on singleplayer!
Currently, it does not show any block updates or entities, but having those live is planned in the future!
It also acts as a chunk loader - opening the books will tell minecraft to load the chunks around that spot, and pre-generate new age chunks before you link in. Until the live update update, it will still allow minecraft to unload those chunks immediately after.
This is an optional mod - meaning it's designed so that if you have it and the server doesn't, it simply will not function. Will not crash, or tax the system that doesn't have it. I have not tested this, so if that's not the case, please let me know!
Warning - this is an ALPHA build. Crashes may occur, please send me any crash reports related to Dynamic Linking Panels. I will try to push updates as fast as I can to fix anything major.
Drop it into your mods folder next to mystcraft, and you're all set!
The same on the server.
If you want to use this mod in a modpack - I will say yes. However, you must have permission to use mystcraft in your modpack, and ask!
Note on let's plays and mod spotlights: Go ahead. Do what you want, say what you want. The only restriction is distribution. If you distribute my mod, you must credit me and send me a message about it! Note that this only applies to public modpacks, or uploading to other sites. Anything you're just sending to your friends is fine by me.
To those wanting to increase the loading speed of the linking panels: In the config file there is a property called 'datarate'. Increasing this will increase the per-tick amount of data my mod sends to the client. (Or single player, if you are) However, it also has to process the data before it sends, so this is a trade off between lag and load time. For servers, it is not recommended to raise this too high, it will freeze your server for as long as it's processing, lagging everyone online. The default value of 2048 is benign, and will not cause noticable lag. However, some servers will be able to handle a higher rate, so feel free to play with this setting for what works best for you.

Please send any crash/logs to me either through a private message here, or on the mystcraft forums.
But in other news, xcomp has given me early access to the part that's available now. So it is in the works.
although could you please make it 1.7.2
