I love the warp indexes, they're very convenient for accessing your lecterns, but after using them for a bit I also kinda feel like they're a bit OP. Instead of making any changes to them though, maybe some config options could be added to customize how they work? Such as adding an option to make them only work within a certain configurable range (instead of infinite range so long as the lectern is chunk loaded) or toggle their recipes outright, or maybe make using them cost mana or require "charging" with source somehow?

For myself, I would set it up such that the standard warp index only works within ~30 to 60 blocks from the bound lectern (Perhaps it could detect other storage lecterns that are acting as extensions of a main network and base its range off of those, allowing linked lecterns to act as range extenders for the warp index) and cost mana relative to the number of items moved to/from it, and the stabilized warp index would have infinite range but only work in the same dimension, and still cost mana, or cost extra mana in other dimensions.

But that's simply my own personal thoughts on the matter, so as not to virtually invalidate any other need for item transport once a player has a warp index. Even just having a config option to toggle between infinite range and limited range would be nice to have for those that wish, even if the default functionality does not change.

Within base Ars it's possible to access your storage lectern from any distance as long as you're in the same dimension using a Scry Crystal and Enchanters Eye combination with a touch interact spell.

For this reason I won't be adding config options to the Index because it's the same power level as base Ars.

You can restrict cross-dimension access by removing the stabilized warp index recipe.

I don't believe adding a mana cost is particularly useful either, as the base cost of touch interact is very low mana

Ohh, I didn't know that actually. Okay, yeah that makes sense as to why it doesn't need a change. Thanks for the reply!
