This is a template I made for one of my modpacks so I could display recipes made with this mod in my books. It does not add kind of content by itself.
0) Install Patchouli, and Resource Loader.
1) Extract the .zip file into your main modpack folder.
2) Done! You can now use the templates. They are called pedestal_crafting_X (replace X with 1-8 depending on how many pedestals your recipe requires, excluding the center one).
Visit the wiki page if you want a "fill in the blanks" json file.
"center" is the item which goes on the middle pedestal. [ItemStack String]
"output" is the item which will be produced by the recipe. [ItemStack String]
"input1-8" are the items which go to the surrounding pedestals. (1 is the top-center pedestal). [ItemStack String]
"time" is being displayed next to the hourglass icon. For example, "3 seconds", "1 minute", "410 ticks". It's just text, so you can even format it. [Text String]
