Depending on the recipe tier, the Pigment Pedestal requires a structure built around it. To craft the Pigment Pedestal always requires an active Redstone signal.

Pedestal Tiers

The four different Pigment Pedestal tiers can be recognized by their different borders and shown gemstone shards in their GUI

1. basic: Cyan, Magenta and Yellow pedestal variants
2. simple: CMY pedestal variant with matching structure
3. advanced: Onyx pedestal variant with matching structure
4. complex: Moonstone pedestal variant with matching structure

Keep in mind that players that have not unlocked the "advanced" stage of pedestal crafting most likely do not have access to onyx shards, and therefore onyx powder yet. Same with "complex" crafting and moonstone shards.

General Properties

Entry	Type	Default	Description
group	string	empty	A string that represents a recipe group. Recipes with a common group will only trigger a single unlock popup, if multiple are unlocked at once. Add a localization string "recipeGroup.spectrum.<<your_group_string>>" so the toast popup is properly localized
secret	boolean	false	If true, the recipe will never be listed in recipe listing mods, like REI
required_advancement	advancement_identifier	empty	The advancement a player needs to have to be able to see this recipe. Spectrum will automatically show a toast to the player when this advancement has been unlocked and reached the set tier
colors	map (ink color id : count)	empty	Required amount of Gemstone Powders
tier	pedestal_tier		The required pedestal tier
time	int	200	The crafting time in ticks
experience	float		How much experience should be spawned when crafting is finished
skip_recipe_remainders		false	If recipe remainders should not be given (like empty buckets by crafting with a water bucket)
disable_yield_upgrades	boolean	false	When true, yield and efficiency upgrades do not affect the output of this recipe. Set to true for compacting-style recipes (think: iron ingots to iron blocks and back) to prevent item multiplication. Or recipes that should always have a fixed output of 1 (pedestal upgrades, stackable tools, ...)
result	item_stack		Output item stack, supports NBT
