Spectrum Processing Machines and Their Core Recipes

guide

Pigment Pedestal

The Pigment Pedestal is a central crafting machine with over five hundred recipes, making it the most versatile processing block in the mod. It combines up to five ingredients in a single operation, often producing decorative blocks, tools, or magical components.

Many recipes transform raw materials into building blocks. For example, a single Block of Amethyst yields four Amethyst Bricks. Combining that block with Polished Basalt and a Block of Shimmerstone produces four Amethyst Basalt Lights, an illuminating block. A similar recipe using Polished Calcite instead of basalt gives you Amethyst Calcite Lights. Chiseled variants are also available: Polished Basalt plus an Amethyst Shard makes one Amethyst Chiseled Basalt, while using an Amethyst Cluster instead yields eight at once. The same pattern applies to calcite.

Glass-related recipes are common. An Amethyst Shard with Glass creates eight Amethyst Glass, which can then be converted into sixteen Amethyst Glass Panes. For ranged combat, combine an Amethyst Shard, Raw Malachite, a Stick, and a Resplendent Feather to get four Amethyst Glass Arrows. A Shimmerstone Gem with Polished Andesite produces four Andesite Shimmerstone Lights.

The pedestal also handles food and utility items. Mixing Amaranth Grains, Jaramel, eggs, a Milk Bucket, and Sweet Berries yields an Ashen Tart. A more complex dish combines Crawfish, Clotted Cream, Red Mushroom, Jade Wine, and Myceylon to make Bagnun. For storage, combine Obsidian, Warp Flux, and Radiating Ender to craft a Bag of Holding; an Eye of Ender can substitute for the warp flux.

Magical idols are crafted here too. A Snow Golem Head with Vegetal, Quitoxic Powder, and Stardust creates an Adjuvant Idol. Using a Witch Head in place of the snow golem head produces an Auguring Idol. A Four-Leaved Clover, Paper, and Stardust combine into an Artisan's Atlas.

Pedestal Shapeless

The Pedestal Shapeless variant has seventy recipes and, as the name implies, does not require a specific arrangement of items. It is primarily used for upgrades and simple transformations.

Upgrade paths are a key function. A Book, Black Pigment, and Feather make a Book and Quill. A Storm Stone combined with a Crafting Accelerator upgrades it to tier two, and adding Pure Iron to that result creates the tier three version. Similar tiered upgrades exist for other machines: Efficiency Slope with Pure Emerald makes its tier two, and Production Surge with Pure Diamond does the same. A Knowledge Focus with a Moonstone Shard also upgrades to tier two.

Food recipes here include sandwiches. Meatloaf, Ancient Grain Bread, and Clotted Cream produce six Meatloaf Sandwiches, while using regular Bread instead yields four. Amaranth Grains, eggs, Sweet Berries, and Clotted Cream make two Scones. For soap, combine a Water Bucket, four Ash Flakes, and a Raw Porkchop to get six bars.

Block compression and decompression are also handled. A Block of Jade Petals breaks down into four Jade Petals, and the same applies to Jadeite Petals. Combining blocks of Topaz, Amethyst, Citrine, Onyx, and Moonstone creates five Mixed Gemstone Bricks. Refined crystal blocks—Pure Azurite, Pure Malachite, and Pure Bloodstone—make sixteen Mixed Refined Crystal Bricks. Mud with an Amaranth Bushel gives Packed Mud.

The Pigment Pedestal itself is crafted here. Combine Topaz, Amethyst, and Citrine Shards, or use a single Onyx Shard or Moonstone Shard alone. A String, two Paper, and a Four-Leaved Clover make a Name Tag.

Fusion Shrine

The Fusion Shrine has seventy-four recipes and focuses on advanced equipment and powerful artifacts. Many recipes require rare materials like Shattered Bedrock, Stratine Gems, and Onyx Powder.

Tool upgrades are a major category. A Golden Axe combined with Shattered Bedrock, Black Pigment, Onyx Powder, Stratine Gem, and Stratine Fragments creates a Bedrock Axe. The same base materials with Golden Boots instead produce Bedrock Boots. A Bow with those ingredients plus a Gold Ingot makes a Bedrock Bow. A standard Anvil with Shattered Bedrock, Black Pigment, and Onyx Powder becomes a Bedrock Anvil.

Accessories are also upgraded here. A Fanciful Bismuth Ring with Block of Pure Gold, a Moonstone Shard, and a Resonant Lily forms A Neat Ring. A Fanciful Circlet with a Stratine Gem, Neolith, and Orange Pigment becomes an Ashen Circlet. Belt and ring variants using Raw Azurite and Blue Pigment grant dike-related effects. A Downstone Fragments, Aether Vestiges, Moonstone Core, Pure Azurite, and Blue Pigment combine into an Azuresque Dike Core.

The shrine can also process single items like Sunflower, Mermaid's Gem, or Storm Stone, though the results vary by input.

Other Machines

The Enchanter, Titration Barrel, and Spirit Instiller are additional processing machines in the mod. Each serves a distinct purpose in item transformation, though their specific recipe lists are not detailed here. They generally follow the same pattern of combining base materials with specialized reagents to produce enchanted, distilled, or spiritually infused outputs.
