Bucket API
----------
The bucket API allows registering new types of buckets for non-default liquids.
-
bucket.register_liquid(
"default:lava_source", -- name of the source node
"default:lava_flowing", -- name of the flowing node
"bucket:bucket_lava", -- name of the new bucket item (or nil if liquid is not takeable)
"bucket_lava.png", -- texture of the new bucket item (ignored if itemname == nil)
"Lava Bucket", -- text description of the bucket item
- {lava_bucket = 1} -- groups of the bucket item, OPTIONAL
+ {lava_bucket = 1}, -- groups of the bucket item, OPTIONAL
+ false -- force-renew, OPTIONAL. Force the liquid source to renew if it has
+ -- a source neighbour, even if defined as 'liquid_renewable = false'.
+ -- Needed to avoid creating holes in sloping rivers.
)
+The filled bucket item is returned to the player that uses an empty bucket pointing to the given liquid source.
+When punching with an empty bucket pointing to an entity or a non-liquid node, the on_punch of the entity or node will be triggered.
+
Beds API
--------
}
}
+Bones API
+---------
+
+An ordered list of listnames (default: "main", "craft") of the player inventory,
+that will be placed into bones or dropped on player death can be looked up or changed
+in `bones.player_inventory_lists`.
+
+e.g. `table.insert(bones.player_inventory_lists, "backpack")`
+
Creative API
------------
-A global string called `creative.formspec_add` was added which allows mods to add additional formspec elements onto the default creative inventory formspec to be drawn after each update.
+Use `creative.register_tab(name, title, items)` to add a tab with filtered items.
+For example,
+
+ creative.register_tab("tools", "Tools", minetest.registered_tools)
+
+is used to show all tools. Name is used in the sfinv page name, title is the
+human readable title.
+
+`is_enabled_for` is used to check whether a player is in creative mode:
+
+ creative.is_enabled_for(name)
+
+Override this to allow per-player game modes.
+
+The contents of `creative.formspec_add` is appended to every creative inventory
+page. Mods can use it to add additional formspec elements onto the default
+creative inventory formspec to be drawn after each update.
+

Leafdecay
---------
-To enable leaf decay for a node, add it to the `leafdecay` group.
+To enable leaf decay for leaves when a tree is cut down by a player,
+register the tree with the default.register_leafdecay(leafdecaydef)
+function.
+
+If `param2` of any registered node is ~= 0, the node will always be
+preserved. Thus, if the player places a node of that kind, you will
+want to set `param2 = 1` or so.
-The rating of the group determines how far from a node in the group `tree`
-the node can be without decaying.
+The function `default.after_place_leaves` can be set as
+`after_place_node of a node` to set param2 to 1 if the player places
+the node (should not be used for nodes that use param2 otherwise
+(e.g. facedir)).
-If `param2` of the node is ~= 0, the node will always be preserved. Thus, if
-the player places a node of that kind, you will want to set `param2 = 1` or so.
+If the node is in the `leafdecay_drop` group then it will always be
+dropped as an item.
-The function `default.after_place_leaves` can be set as `after_place_node of a node`
-to set param2 to 1 if the player places the node (should not be used for nodes
-that use param2 otherwise (e.g. facedir)).
+`default.register_leafdecay(leafdecaydef)`
+
+`leafdecaydef` is a table, with following members:
+ {
+ trunks = {"default:tree"}, -- nodes considered trunks
+ leaves = {"default:leaves", "default:apple"},
+ -- nodes considered for removal
+ radius = 3, -- radius to consider for searching
+ }
+
+Note: all the listed nodes in `trunks` have their `on_after_destruct`
+callback overridden. All the nodes listed in `leaves` have their
+`on_timer` callback overridden.
-If the node is in the `leafdecay_drop` group then it will always be dropped as an
-item.

+Carts
+-----
+
+ carts.register_rail(
+ "mycarts:myrail", -- Rail name
+ nodedef, -- standard nodedef
+ railparams -- rail parameter struct (optional)
+ )
+
+ railparams = {
+ on_step(obj, dtime), -- Event handler called when
+ -- cart is on rail
+ acceleration, -- integer acceleration factor (negative
+ -- values to brake)
+ }
+
+ The event handler is called after all default calculations
+ are made, so the custom on_step handler can override things
+ like speed, acceleration, player attachment. The handler will
+ likely be called many times per second, so the function needs
+ to make sure that the event is handled properly.
+
+Key API
+-------
+
+The key API allows mods to add key functionality to nodes that have
+ownership or specific permissions. Using the API will make it so
+that a node owner can use skeleton keys on their nodes to create keys
+for that node in that location, and give that key to other players,
+allowing them some sort of access that they otherwise would not have
+due to node protection.
+
+To make your new nodes work with the key API, you need to register
+two callback functions in each nodedef:
+
+
+`on_key_use(pos, player)`
+ * Is called when a player right-clicks (uses) a normal key on your
+ * node.
+ * `pos` - position of the node
+ * `player` - PlayerRef
+ * return value: none, ignored
+
+The `on_key_use` callback should validate that the player is wielding
+a key item with the right key meta secret. If needed the code should
+deny access to the node functionality.
+
+If formspecs are used, the formspec callbacks should duplicate these
+checks in the metadata callback functions.
+
+
+`on_skeleton_key_use(pos, player, newsecret)`
+
+ * Is called when a player right-clicks (uses) a skeleton key on your
+ * node.
+ * `pos` - position of the node
+ * `player` - PlayerRef
+ * `newsecret` - a secret value(string)
+ * return values:
+ * `secret` - `nil` or the secret value that unlocks the door
+ * `name` - a string description of the node ("a locked chest")
+ * `owner` - name of the node owner
+
+The `on_skeleton_key_use` function should validate that the player has
+the right permissions to make a new key for the item. The newsecret
+value is useful if the node has no secret value. The function should
+store this secret value somewhere so that in the future it may compare
+key secrets and match them to allow access. If a node already has a
+secret value, the function should return that secret value instead
+of the newsecret value. The secret value stored for the node should
+not be overwritten, as this would invalidate existing keys.
+
+Aside from the secret value, the function should retun a descriptive
+name for the node and the owner name. The return values are all
+encoded in the key that will be given to the player in replacement
+for the wielded skeleton key.
+
+if `nil` is returned, it is assumed that the wielder did not have
+permissions to create a key for this node, and no key is created.
