pedestal

A ritual on a 3 × 3 field of pedestals.

Field	Type	Required	Default	Meaning
output	item id (string)	yes		The product. An id that is not registered makes a ritual that never completes.
count	int	no	1	Output count.
grid	list of exactly 9 slots	yes		Row by row. A slot is an item id or #tag string, {"id", "count"} (that exact count on the pedestal), or "" for an empty pedestal.
extra	condition name	no	none	An extra condition (below).
set	int	no	0	Which clay tablet set reveals this ritual (taken modulo 2).
order	int	no	after HBM’s	Search order and tablet draw order.

Conditions: none, full_moon, new_moon (at night with that moon phase), sun (around noon), good_karma, bad_karma (a player within 20 blocks with reputation of at least 10, or at most -10). An addon may register more, named with its namespace.

data/hbm/recipe/pedestal/ammo_secret_folly_nuke.json (HBM)

{
  "type": "hbm:pedestal",
  "output": "hbm:ammo_secret_folly_nuke",
  "grid": [
    "#c:ingots/starmetal", "hbm:powder_magic", "#c:ingots/starmetal",
    "hbm:powder_magic", { "id": "hbm:ammo_standard_nuke_high", "count": 4 }, "hbm:powder_magic",
    "#c:ingots/starmetal", "hbm:powder_magic", "#c:ingots/starmetal"
  ],
  "extra": "full_moon",
  "set": 1,
  "order": 14
}

Each pedestal must hold exactly the slot’s count (1 unless stated). The order matters twice: the pedestal uses the first ritual in order that matches, and a clay tablet’s seeded pick of rituals walks its set in order.

magic

The Book of Boxcars’ extended crafting. The filled grid slots are read in slot order, without gaps, and must match the row’s ingredients one for one, in order.

Field	Type	Required	Default	Meaning
ingredients	list of item ids or #tag strings	yes		In order.
result	item id (string)	yes		One of that item.
order	int	no	after HBM’s	The first matching row in order wins.

data/hbm/recipe/magic/balefire_and_steel.json (HBM)

{
  "type": "hbm:magic",
  "ingredients": ["#c:ingots/steel", "hbm:egg_balefire_shard"],
  "result": "hbm:balefire_and_steel",
  "order": 2
}

lemegeton

The Lemegeton’s one-slot conversion: each ingot or gem into the next rung of its ladder.

Field	Type	Required	Default	Meaning
input	item id or #tag (string)	yes		What is converted.
output	item id (string)	yes		One of that item.
order	int	no	after HBM’s	The first matching row in order wins.

data/hbm/recipe/lemegeton/dusts_fluorite.json (HBM)

{
  "type": "hbm:lemegeton",
  "input": "#c:dusts/fluorite",
  "output": "hbm:gem_sodalite",
  "order": 31
}

tool_conversion

Hitting a block with a tool, while carrying the materials, consumes the materials and replaces the block.

Field	Type	Required	Default	Meaning
tool	tool type	yes		torch (Blowtorch) or bolt (Pneumatic Rivet Gun). The type list also has screwdriver, hand_drill, defuser and wrench.
from	block id	yes		The block hit.
to	block id	yes		The block it becomes.
materials	list of ingredients	no	none	Taken from the player’s inventory.

data/hbm/recipe/tool_conversion/watz_casing.json (HBM)

{
  "type": "hbm:tool_conversion",
  "tool": "bolt",
  "from": "hbm:watz_casing",
  "to": "hbm:watz_casing_tooled",
  "materials": [{ "material": "dura_steel", "shape": "bolt", "count": 4 }]
}

Notes:

• Only blocks built to be tool-convertible react to this table (HBM’s Watz casing, fusion coil and ICF parts). A row whose from is an ordinary block does nothing.
• One conversion per tool and block; the row whose recipe id sorts last wins, and data rows win over conversions an addon registers in code.
