Optional: Also returns `0` when the absolute value is within the tolerance (default: `0`)
-* `string.split(str, separator=",", include_empty=false, max_splits=-1,
-* sep_is_pattern=false)`

* `sep_is_pattern` specifies if separator is a plain string or a pattern (regex).
* e.g. `string:split("a,b", ",") == {"a","b"}`
* `string:trim()`
* e.g. `string.trim("\n \t\tfoo bar\t ") == "foo bar"`
+* `minetest.wrap_text(str, limit)`: returns a string
+ * Adds new lines to the string to keep it within the specified character limit
+ * limit: Maximal amount of characters in one line
+* `minetest.pos_to_string({x=X,y=Y,z=Z}, decimal_places))`: returns string `"(X,Y,Z)"`
+ * Convert position to a printable string
+ Optional: 'decimal_places' will round the x, y and z of the pos to the given decimal place.
+* `minetest.string_to_pos(string)`: returns a position
+ * Same but in reverse. Returns `nil` if the string can't be parsed to a position.
+* `minetest.string_to_area("(X1, Y1, Z1) (X2, Y2, Z2)")`: returns two positions
+ * Converts a string representing an area box into two positions
* `minetest.is_yes(arg)`
* returns whether `arg` can be interpreted as yes
-* `minetest.get_us_time()`
- * returns time with microsecond precision. May not return wall time.
* `table.copy(table)`: returns a table
* returns a deep copy of `table`
* Return `true` to mark the message as handled, which means that it will not be sent to server
* `minetest.register_chatcommand(cmd, chatcommand definition)`
* Adds definition to minetest.registered_chatcommands
+* `minetest.unregister_chatcommand(name)`
+ * Unregisters a chatcommands registered with register_chatcommand.
* `minetest.register_on_death(func())`
* Called when the local player dies
* `minetest.register_on_hp_modification(func(hp))`
* `minetest.after(time, func, ...)`
* Call the function `func` after `time` seconds, may be fractional
* Optional: Variable number of arguments that are passed to `func`
+* `minetest.get_us_time()`
+ * Returns time with microsecond precision. May not return wall time.
+* `minetest.get_day_count()`
+ * Returns number days elapsed since world was created, accounting for time changes.
+* `minetest.get_timeofday()`
+ * Returns the time of day: `0` for midnight, `0.5` for midday
### Map
* `minetest.get_node(pos)`
for unloaded areas.
* `minetest.get_node_or_nil(pos)`
* Same as `get_node` but returns `nil` for unloaded areas.
+* `minetest.find_node_near(pos, radius, nodenames, [search_center])`: returns pos or `nil`
+ * `radius`: using a maximum metric
+ * `nodenames`: e.g. `{"ignore", "group:tree"}` or `"default:dirt"`
+ * `search_center` is an optional boolean (default: `false`)
+ If true `pos` is also checked for the nodes
* `minetest.get_meta(pos)`
* Get a `NodeMetaRef` at that position
+* `minetest.get_node_level(pos)`
+ * get level of leveled node (water, snow)
+* `minetest.get_node_max_level(pos)`
+ * get max available level for leveled node
### Player
* `minetest.get_wielded_item()`
* Take a screenshot.
* `minetest.get_server_info()`
* Returns [server info](#server-info).
+* `minetest.send_respawn()`
+ * Sends a respawn request to the server.
+
+### Storage API
+* `minetest.get_mod_storage()`:
+ * returns reference to mod private `StorageRef`
+ * must be called during mod load time
### Misc.
* `minetest.parse_json(string[, nullvalue])`: returns something
* same as fgettext_ne(), but calls minetest.formspec_escape before returning result
* `minetest.pointed_thing_to_face_pos(placer, pointed_thing)`: returns a position
* returns the exact position on the surface of a pointed node
+* `minetest.global_exists(name)`
+ * Checks if a global variable has been set, without triggering a warning.
### UI
* `minetest.ui.minimap`
* e.g. `string:split("a,b", ",") == {"a","b"}`
* `string:trim()`
* e.g. `string.trim("\n \t\tfoo bar\t ") == "foo bar"`
-* `minetest.pos_to_string({x=X,y=Y,z=Z}, decimal_places))`: returns `"(X,Y,Z)"`
+* `minetest.wrap_text(str, limit)`: returns a string
+ * Adds new lines to the string to keep it within the specified character limit
+ * limit: Maximal amount of characters in one line
+* `minetest.pos_to_string({x=X,y=Y,z=Z}, decimal_places))`: returns string `"(X,Y,Z)"`
* Convert position to a printable string
Optional: 'decimal_places' will round the x, y and z of the pos to the given decimal place.
* `minetest.string_to_pos(string)`: returns a position
