Tired of boring old Armor Stands? Is your Wind Burst III Mace that you spent a week grinding to get too fancy for a mere Glow Item Frame?
Well, look no further—Pedestals has you covered!
Important! From 1.21.8 and onwards, the gamerule system has been removed in favor of config files. As such, owo-lib is now also required.
If it's a rock or a log (or copper!), Pedestals has a pedestal for it! With a wide selection of pedestal variants, there’s something to match every build style—whether you’re constructing a grand medieval hall, an arcane wizard’s study, or a chamber jam packed with booby traps. Build a trophy room worthy of your adventures, display your prized loot in style, or just make your storage system look ridiculously fancy. For those of you Copper enthusiasts out there, Copper (and Cut Copper) Pedestals oxidize over time and can be waxed and scraped, akin to vanilla Copper blocks!
Since the 1.0.1 update, you can also craft and strip Wooden Pedestals as you wood (haha, get it?) with any other vanilla log, thanks to StrippableBlocks API! Yes, that includes EVERY vanilla wood variety - even Nether Wood!
The 1.21.4 port of the mod also features optional compatibility with Nemo's Woodcutter! This is all thanks to NemoNotFound and pnku's immense help with implementation! Check their work out!
Who said Pedestals are only for show? They come with a bit of Redstone magic too!
So whether you're a redstone engineer or just enjoy adding functional decor to your world, Pedestals has got you covered!
The recipe is universal across all pedestals:
Place two of the pedestal’s corresponding blocks in a crafting grid (see image below), and voilà—you’ve got yourself a Pedestal!
Astute observation, my financially savvy friend! Yes, two blocks for a single pedestal may seem like daylight robbery—but don’t worry, there’s a better deal!
If you hop on to your Stonecutter, you will find that you are able to craft a Pedestal out of its respective block (or any blocks that produce it) at a much more efficient rate!
Gilded Carpets are a new type of Carpet added in Pedestals! They can be crafted with a single carpet of any color and a grand total of four gold nuggets like so:
Afterwards, you can attach the Gilded Carpet you just crafted to any single Pedestal in your world - just right click the Pedestal with the Gilded Carpet in hand.
Made a Mistake? No worries! If you wish to seperate a Gilded Carpet from its Pedestal, all you need is a pair of Shears and your trusty Right Click.
Got a particularly valuable item that needs safekeeping? Reinforced Lockboxes let you lock your Pedestals away from prying hands! When placed on a Pedestal, a Lockbox encases it in glass, protecting its contents. They, too, come in all glass varieties (save for tinted glass - that wouldn't make sense now would it?). Here's how you can acquire one:
false!Side note: the base success chance for lockpicking is 15%. You can change it via the gamerule lockpickSuccessChance!
Lockboxes aren’t immune to the passage of time. As all glass does, Lockboxes will slowly accumulate dust, making the glass look grimy. Because nothing says luxury like layers upon layers of filth! It's not the end of the world, however. If you wish to keep your displays pristine, all you have to do is clean off the dust with a Brush! You do remember how to make a brush, don't you?
If this feature is not for you for any reason at all, you can disable dust accumulation entirely by setting the gamerule dustyLockboxes to false!
Whether you're displaying legendary loot or keeping your trophies secure, Lockboxes ensure your treasures stay exactly where you left them.
Remeber when I said specific items of non-epic rarity can also make Pedestals power the block below them? A select few items (of generally higher rarities) are now classified as Artifacts. What does this mean? It means that these items have a few more aesthetic qualities to them, as a reward for going above and beyond to find them - When placed upon a pedestal, they emit unique particles! I won't tell you what they are, as they are part of an Advancement - so, again, keep your eyes peeled!
Note: In order to avoid any and all performance issues, you can disable particle emission from Artifacts by setting the gamerule displayedItemParticles to false.
Pedestals has its very own advancement tree! Most of the advancements serve as a guide of sorts, but you completionists have no reason to be disappointed - there's a few hidden advancements, as well as a few that are sure to provide a challenge for you.
Pedestals is my first ever mod, and it was purely a passion project. However, I could not have made any part of it without the absolutely massive help of NemoNotFound and pnku for letting me badger them with my coding questions, as well as my beautiful girlfriend who volunteered to create the Key and Lockpick assets. Also again a massive, massive thank you to pnku for creating the mod's logo. Again, check their work out!
Pedestals is designed to be lightweight, aesthetic-focused, and seamlessly integrated into the game. Whether you're showcasing your most prized items, adding decorative accents to your base, or just making your storage system look way cooler—Pedestals has got you covered.
