Introduction
-============
+------------
Content and functionality can be added to Minetest using Lua scripting
in run-time loaded mods.
--------
Mods can be put in a subdirectory, if the parent directory, which otherwise
-should be a mod, contains a file named `modpack.txt`. This file shall be
-empty, except for lines starting with `#`, which are comments.
+should be a mod, contains a file named `modpack.conf`.
+The file is a key-value store of modpack details.
+
+* `name`: The modpack name.
+* `description`: Description of mod to be shown in the Mods tab of the main
+ menu.
+
+Note: to support 0.4.x, please also create an empty modpack.txt file.

Aliases
=======
-Aliases can be added by using `minetest.register_alias(name, convert_to)` or
-`minetest.register_alias_force(name, convert_to)`.
+Aliases of itemnames can be added by using
+`minetest.register_alias(alias, original_name)` or
+`minetest.register_alias_force(alias, original_name)`.
-This converts anything called `name` to `convert_to`.
+This adds an alias `alias` for the item called `original_name`.
+From now on, you can use `alias` to refer to the item `original_name`.
The only difference between `minetest.register_alias` and
-`minetest.register_alias_force` is that if an item called `name` exists,
+`minetest.register_alias_force` is that if an item named `alias` already exists,
`minetest.register_alias` will do nothing while
`minetest.register_alias_force` will unregister it.

+### Setting the node used in Mapgen Singlenode
+
+By default the world is filled with air nodes. To set a different node use, for
+example:
+
+ minetest.register_alias("mapgen_singlenode", "default:stone")
+
}
Looped sounds must either be connected to an object or played locationless to
-one player using `to_player = name,`
+one player using `to_player = name,`.
+
+A positional sound will only be heard by players that are within
+`max_hear_distance` of the sound position, at the start of the sound.

+Anything added using certain [Registration functions] gets added to one or more
+of the global [Registered definition tables].
Note that in some cases you will stumble upon things that are not contained
in these tables (e.g. when a mod has been removed). Always check for
existence before trying to access the fields.
-Example: If you want to check the drawtype of a node, you could do:

+Map terminology and coordinates
+===============================
+
+Nodes, mapblocks, mapchunks
+---------------------------
+
+A 'node' is the fundamental cubic unit of a world and appears to a player as
+roughly 1x1x1 meters in size.
+
+A 'mapblock' (often abbreviated to 'block') is 16x16x16 nodes and is the
+fundamental region of a world that is stored in the world database, sent to
+clients and handled by many parts of the engine.
+'mapblock' is preferred terminology to 'block' to help avoid confusion with
+'node', however 'block' often appears in the API.
+
+A 'mapchunk' (sometimes abbreviated to 'chunk') is usually 5x5x5 mapblocks
+(80x80x80 nodes) and is the volume of world generated in one operation by
+the map generator.
+The size in mapblocks has been chosen to optimise map generation.
+
+Coordinates
+-----------
+
+### Orientation of axes
+
+For node and mapblock coordinates, +X is East, +Y is up, +Z is North.
+
+### Node coordinates
+
+Almost all positions used in the API use node coordinates.
+
+### Mapblock coordinates
+
+Occasionally the API uses 'blockpos' which refers to mapblock coordinates that
+specify a particular mapblock.
+For example blockpos (0,0,0) specifies the mapblock that extends from
+node position (0,0,0) to node position (15,15,15).
+
+#### Converting node position to the containing blockpos
+
+To calculate the blockpos of the mapblock that contains the node at 'nodepos',
+for each axis:
+
+* blockpos = math.floor(nodepos / 16)
+
+#### Converting blockpos to min/max node positions
+
+To calculate the min/max node positions contained in the mapblock at 'blockpos',
+for each axis:
+
+* Minimum:
+ nodepos = blockpos * 16
+* Maximum:
+ nodepos = blockpos * 16 + 15

HUD
===
`0` draws from left to right, `1` draws from right to left, `2` draws from
top to bottom, and `3` draws from bottom to top.
-The `alignment` field specifies how the item will be aligned. It ranges from
-`-1` to `1`, with `0` being the center. `-1` is moved to the left/up, and `1`
-is to the right/down. Fractional values can be used.
+The `alignment` field specifies how the item will be aligned. It is a table
+where `x` and `y` range from `-1` to `1`, with `0` being central. `-1` is
+moved to the left/up, and `1` is to the right/down. Fractional values can be
+used.
The `offset` field specifies a pixel offset from the position. Contrary to
position, the offset is not scaled to screen size. This allows for some
type are ignored.
### `image`
+
Displays an image on the HUD.
* `scale`: The scale of the image, with 1 being the original texture size.
* `{type="node", under=pos, above=pos}`
* `{type="object", ref=ObjectRef}`
+Exact pointing location (currently only `Raycast` supports these fields):
+
+* `pointed_thing.intersection_point`: The absolute world coordinates of the
+ point on the selection box which is pointed at. May be in the selection box
+ if the pointer is in the box too.
+* `pointed_thing.box_id`: The ID of the pointed selection box (counting starts
+ from 1).
+* `pointed_thing.intersection_normal`: Unit vector, points outwards of the
+ selected selection box. This specifies which face is pointed at.
+ Is a null vector `{x = 0, y = 0, z = 0}` when the pointer is inside the
+ selection box.
+
There are three kinds of items: nodes, tools and craftitems.
-* Node: An item that can be placed in the world as a node.
-* Tool: An item that can be worn out and repaired, cannot be stacked, and often
- digs or deals damage.
-* Craftitem: A general purpose item that can be used in crafting recipes, eaten,
- dropped, or used on things in the world.
+* Node: Can be placed in the world's voxel grid
+* Tool: Has a wear property but cannot be stacked. The default use action is to
+ dig nodes or hit objects according to its tool capabilities.
+* Craftitem: Cannot dig nodes or be placed
Amount and wear
---------------
-All item stacks have an amount between 0 to 65535. It is 1 by
+All item stacks have an amount between 0 and 65535. It is 1 by
default. Tool item stacks can not have an amount greater than 1.
Tools use a wear (damage) value ranging from 0 to 65535. The
* `fall_damage_add_percent`: damage speed = `speed * (1 + value/100)`
* `bouncy`: value is bounce speed in percent
* `falling_node`: if there is no walkable block under the node it will fall
+* `float`: the node will not fall through liquids
* `attached_node`: if the node under it is not a walkable block the node will be
dropped as an item. If the node is wallmounted the wallmounted direction is
checked.
-* `soil`: saplings will grow on nodes in this group
* `connect_to_raillike`: makes nodes of raillike drawtype with same group value
connect to each other
* `slippery`: Players and items will slide on the node.
Slipperiness rises steadily with `slippery` value, starting at 1.
-
+* `disable_repair`: If set to 1 for a tool, it cannot be repaired using the
+ `"toolrepair"` crafting recipe

Formspec
========
-Formspec defines a menu. Currently not much else than inventories are
-supported. It is a string, with a somewhat strange format.
+Formspec defines a menu. This supports inventories and some of the
+typical widgets like buttons, checkboxes, text input fields, etc.
+It is a string, with a somewhat strange format.
+
+A formspec is made out of formspec elements, which includes widgets
+like buttons but also can be used to set stuff like background color.
+
+Many formspec elements have a `name`, which is a unique identifier which
+is used when the server receives user input. You must not use the name
+"quit" for formspec elements.
Spaces and newlines can be inserted between the blocks, as is used in the
examples.
Position and size units are inventory slots, `X` and `Y` position the formspec
element relative to the top left of the menu or container. `W` and `H` are its
width and height values.
+Inventories with a `player:<name>` inventory location are only sent to the
+player named `<name>`.
+
When displaying text which can contain formspec code, e.g. text set by a player,
use `minetest.formspec_escape`.
For coloured text you can use `minetest.colorize`.
### `list[<inventory location>;<list name>;<X>,<Y>;<W>,<H>;]`
-* Show an inventory list
+* Show an inventory list if it has been sent to the client. Nothing will
+ be shown if the inventory list is of size 0.
### `list[<inventory location>;<list name>;<X>,<Y>;<W>,<H>;<starting item index>]`
-* Show an inventory list
+* Show an inventory list if it has been sent to the client. Nothing will
+ be shown if the inventory list is of size 0.
### `listring[<inventory location>;<list name>]`
* `<fontcolor>` tooltip font color as `ColorString` (optional)
### `tooltip[<X>,<Y>;<W>,<H>;<tooltip_text>;<bgcolor>;<fontcolor>]`
+
* Adds tooltip for an area. Other tooltips will take priority when present.
* `<bgcolor>` tooltip background color as `ColorString` (optional)
* `<fontcolor>` tooltip font color as `ColorString` (optional)
### `item_image_button[<X>,<Y>;<W>,<H>;<item name>;<name>;<label>]`
-* `item name` is the registered name of an item/node,
- tooltip will be made out of its description
- to override it use tooltip element
+* `item name` is the registered name of an item/node
+* The item description will be used as the tooltip. This can be overridden with
+ a tooltip element.
### `button_exit[<X>,<Y>;<W>,<H>;<name>;<label>]`
* `main`: list containing the default inventory
* `craft`: list containing the craft input
-* `craftpreview`: list containing the craft output
+* `craftpreview`: list containing the craft prediction
+* `craftresult`: list containing the crafted output
* `hand`: list containing an override for the empty hand
+ * Is not created automatically, use `InvRef:set_size`
Spatial Vectors
===============
+A spatial vector is similar to a position, but instead using
+absolute world coordinates, it uses *relative* coordinates, relative to
+no particular point.
+
+Internally, it is implemented as a table with the 3 fields
+`x`, `y` and `z`. Example: `{x = 0, y = 1, z = 0}`.
For the following functions, `v`, `v1`, `v2` are vectors,
`p1`, `p2` are positions:
* Returns a boolean, `true` if the vectors are identical.
* `vector.sort(v1, v2)`:
* Returns in order minp, maxp vectors of the cuboid defined by `v1`, `v2`.
+* `vector.angle(v1, v2)`:
+ * Returns the angle between `v1` and `v2` in radians.
For the following functions `x` can be either a vector or a number:
* `vector.add(v, x)`:
* Returns a vector.
+ * If `x` is a vector: Returns the sum of `v` and `x`.
+ * If `x` is a number: Adds `x` to each component of `v`.
* `vector.subtract(v, x)`:
* Returns a vector.
+ * If `x` is a vector: Returns the difference of `v` subtracted by `x`.
+ * If `x` is a number: Subtracts `x` from each component of `v`.
* `vector.multiply(v, x)`:
* Returns a scaled vector or Schur product.
* `vector.divide(v, x)`:
* tolerance: number, default: `0.0`
* If the absolute value of `x` is within the `tolerance` or `x` is NaN,
`0` is returned.
+* `math.factorial(x)`: returns the factorial of `x`
* `string.split(str, separator, include_empty, max_splits, sep_is_pattern)`
* `separator`: string, default: `","`
* `include_empty`: boolean, default: `false`
* returns time with microsecond precision. May not return wall time.
* `table.copy(table)`: returns a table
* returns a deep copy of `table`
+* `table.indexof(list, val)`: returns the smallest numerical index containing
+ the value `val` in the table `list`. Non-numerical indices are ignored.
+ If `val` could not be found, `-1` is returned. `list` must not have
+ negative indices.
* `table.insert_all(table, other_table)`:
* Appends all values in `other_table` to `table` - uses `#table + 1` to
find new indices.
* `minetest.pointed_thing_to_face_pos(placer, pointed_thing)`: returns a
position.
* returns the exact position on the surface of a pointed node
+* `minetest.get_dig_params(groups, tool_capabilities)`: Simulates a tool
+ that digs a node.
+ Returns a table with the following fields:
+ * `diggable`: `true` if node can be dug, `false` otherwise.
+ * `time`: Time it would take to dig the node.
+ * `wear`: How much wear would be added to the tool.
+ `time` and `wear` are meaningless if node's not diggable
+ Parameters:
+ * `groups`: Table of the node groups of the node that would be dug
+ * `tool_capabilities`: Tool capabilities table of the tool
+* `minetest.get_hit_params(groups, tool_capabilities [, time_from_last_punch])`:
+ Simulates an item that punches an object.
+ Returns a table with the following fields:
+ * `hp`: How much damage the punch would cause.
+ * `wear`: How much wear would be added to the tool.
+ Parameters:
+ * `groups`: Damage groups of the object
+ * `tool_capabilities`: Tool capabilities table of the item
+ * `time_from_last_punch`: time in seconds since last punch action
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()`

### Flat array format
Let
* To be used only by a `VoxelManip` object from
`minetest.get_mapgen_object`.
* (`p1`, `p2`) is the area in which lighting is set, defaults to the whole
- area if left out or nil.
+ area if left out or nil. For almost all uses these should be left out
+ or nil to use the default.
* `propagate_shadow` is an optional boolean deciding whether shadows in a
generated mapchunk above are propagated down into the mapchunk, defaults
to `true` if left out.
* Called on every server tick, after movement and collision processing.
`dtime` is usually 0.1 seconds, as per the `dedicated_server_step` setting
in `minetest.conf`.
-* `on_punch(self, puncher, time_from_last_punch, tool_capabilities, dir)`
+* `on_punch(self, puncher, time_from_last_punch, tool_capabilities, dir, damage)`
* Called when somebody punches the object.
* Note that you probably want to handle most punches using the automatic
armor group system.
* `tool_capabilities`: capability table of used tool (can be `nil`)
* `dir`: unit vector of direction of punch. Always defined. Points from the
puncher to the punched.
+ * `damage`: damage that will be done to entity.
* `on_death(self, killer)`
* Called when the object dies.
* `killer`: an `ObjectRef` (can be `nil`)
* `minetest.features`: Table containing API feature flags
