* Add the above recipes helper call (which replaces those delted recipes)
If your colored node is based on someone else's neutral node, for example if you made a mod that creates multiple colors of minetest_game's default clay, you may find it best to create a single "stand-in" node that's identical to the neutral node, but named for your mod, hidden from the creative inventory, and has a properly-prepared grayscale texture image in addition to the above keys. Use the neutral node and the custom hidden node as in the above craft helper call. Then use minetest.override_item() to add the on_construct and palette keys and the ud_param2_colorable group.

* You will need to write a run-only-once LBM to convert your old statically-colored nodes to use hardware coloring. See above for functions that will help reduce the work required for this part.
