22 of 28 balls have a full craft path (lid + button + iron base). No lid recipe: Master, Beast, Cherish, Dream, GS, and Park. Park has a ball recipe, but the lid itself cannot be crafted.
Craft a ball
Shapeless: matching lid + stone button + iron base.
Iron base is a row of 3 iron ingots and yields 5 bases.
Cook the matching apricorn (furnace, smoker, or campfire), then craft the lid.
