`<color>` and the alpha of `<color>` multiplied by the alpha of the
texture pixel.
+#### `[multiply:<color>`
+Multiplies texture colors with the given color.
+`<color>` is specified as a `ColorString`.
+Result is more like what you'd expect if you put a color on top of another
+color. Meaning white surfaces get a lot of your new color while black parts don't
+change very much.

On the Lua side, every punch calls:
- entity:on_punch(puncher, time_from_last_punch, tool_capabilities, direction)
+ entity:on_punch(puncher, time_from_last_punch, tool_capabilities, direction, damage)
This should never be called directly, because damage is usually not handled by
the entity itself.
* `tool_capabilities` can be `nil`.
* `direction` is a unit vector, pointing from the source of the punch to
the punched object.
+* `damage` damage that will be done to entity
+Return value of this function will determin if damage is done by this function
+(retval true) or shall be done by engine (retval false)

-Metadata contains two things:
+Node metadata contains two things:
* A key-value store
* An inventory
}
})
+Item Metadata
+-------------
+Item stacks can store metadata too. See `ItemStackMetaRef`.
+
+Item metadata only contains a key-value store.
+
+Some of the values in the key-value store are handled specially:
+
+* `description`: Set the itemstack's description. Defaults to idef.description
+
+Example stuff:
+
+ local meta = stack:get_meta()
+ meta:set_string("key", "value")
+ print(dump(meta:to_table()))
+

+* Define the anchor of the formspec
+* A value between 0.0 and 1.0 represents an anchor inside the formspec

#### `container[<X>,<Y>]`
* Start of a container block, moves all physical elements in the container by (X, Y)

Once the internal VoxelManip state has been modified to your liking, the changes can be committed back
to the map by calling `VoxelManip:write_to_map()`.
-Finally, a call to `VoxelManip:update_map()` is required to re-calculate lighting and set the blocks
-as being modified so that connected clients are sent the updated parts of map.

##### Flat array format
Let
will also update the Mapgen VoxelManip object's internal state active on the current thread.
* After modifying the Mapgen VoxelManip object's internal buffer, it may be necessary to update lighting
information using either: `VoxelManip:calc_lighting()` or `VoxelManip:set_lighting()`.
-* `VoxelManip:update_map()` does not need to be called after `write_to_map()`. The map update is performed
- automatically after all on_generated callbacks have been run for that generated block.
##### Other API functions operating on a VoxelManip
If any VoxelManip contents were set to a liquid node, `VoxelManip:update_liquids()` must be called
* returns raw node data in the form of an array of node content IDs
* if the param `buffer` is present, this table will be used to store the result instead
* `set_data(data)`: Sets the data contents of the `VoxelManip` object
-* `update_map()`: Update map after writing chunk back to map.
- * To be used only by `VoxelManip` objects created by the mod itself;
- not a `VoxelManip` that was retrieved from `minetest.get_mapgen_object`
+* `update_map()`: Does nothing, kept for compatibility.
* `set_lighting(light, [p1, p2])`: Set the lighting within the `VoxelManip` to a uniform value
* `light` is a table, `{day=<0...15>, night=<0...15>}`
* To be used only by a `VoxelManip` object from `minetest.get_mapgen_object`
