It also collects considerably more Starlight during the nighttime. Placing the table higher in the sky allows it to collect more Starlight, with the atmospheric interference of Starlight seeming to disappear entirely at around twice the height of sea level.

Its collection process also seems to be inefficient, even with the clearest of skies. First, it needs to be placed somewhere above the ground with an unobstructed view of the sky in order to collect Starlight. The Luminous Crafting Table is not without its drawbacks, though. Also, it does not require a connection to a Collector Crystal to collect Starlight at all, as it has its own receptacle built within. It is able to absorb and retain a much larger amount of Starlight than the crafting table.

The Luminous Crafting Table solves both issues perfectly by being made of the purest marble. Not only that, but the table must be very nearby the crystal or the collected Starlight rapidly bleeds out from it due to wood being inefficient for this purpose. The table is only able to contain a small amount of Starlight from the crystal. Using a regular crafting table to interact with the Starlight emitted by the shrine crystal, which you have named "Collector Crystals" due to how they gather Starlight, seems to be inefficient.
