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.
Instructions:
0) Install Patchouli and Resource Loader
1) Copy the "resources" folder, directly into your modpack's directory.
2) Copy the file "pedestal_recipe.json" into your books' template folder. For example, patchouli_books/Encyclopedia Magicum/en_us/templates.
3) Done!
Now, here is a template you can use to make pages:

"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]
"input1-6" 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". [Text String]
And yes, you can obviously use this for your modpack. Credit is appriciated but not required.
