`param1` is reserved for the engine when `paramtype != "none"`:
paramtype = "light"
- ^ The value stores light with and without sun in it's
- upper and lower 4 bits.
+ ^ The value stores light with and without sun in its upper and lower 4 bits
+ respectively. Allows light to propagate from or through the node with
+ light value falling by 1 per node. This is essential for a light source
+ node to spread its light.
`param2` is reserved for the engine when any of these are used:
* Position and size units are inventory slots
* Example for formspec 8x4 in 16x resolution:
image shall be sized 8 times 16px times 4 times 16px
-* If `true` the background is clipped to formspec size (`x` and `y` are used as offset values, `w` and `h` are ignored)

#### `pwdfield[<X>,<Y>;<W>,<H>;<name>;<label>]`
* Textual password style field; will be sent to server when a button is clicked
* Function cannot be called after the registration period; only initialization and `on_mapgen_init`
* Takes a table as an argument with the fields `mgname`, `seed`, `water_level`, and `flags`.
* Leave field unset to leave that parameter unchanged
- * `flags` contains a comma-delimited string of flags to set, or if the prefix `"no"` is attached, clears instead.
+ * `flags` contains a comma-delimited string of flags to set,
+ or if the prefix `"no"` is attached, clears instead.
* `flags` is in the same format and has the same options as `mg_flags` in `minetest.conf`
* `minetest.set_noiseparams(name, noiseparams, set_default)`
* Sets the noiseparams setting of `name` to the noiseparams table specified in `noiseparams`.
* Get position of a `pointed_thing` (that you can get from somewhere)
* `minetest.dir_to_facedir(dir, is6d)`
* Convert a vector to a facedir value, used in `param2` for `paramtype2="facedir"`;
- * passing something non-`nil`/`false` for the optional second parameter causes it to take the y component into account
+ * passing something non-`nil`/`false` for the optional second parameter causes it to
+ take the y component into account
* `minetest.facedir_to_dir(facedir)`
* Convert a facedir back into a vector aimed directly out the "back" of a node
* `minetest.dir_to_wallmounted(dir)`

### Rollback
-* `minetest.rollback_get_node_actions(pos, range, seconds, limit)`: returns `{{actor, pos, time, oldnode, newnode}, ...}`
+* `minetest.rollback_get_node_actions(pos, range, seconds, limit)`:
+ returns `{{actor, pos, time, oldnode, newnode}, ...}`
* Find who has done something to a node, or near a node
* `actor`: `"player:<name>"`, also `"liquid"`.
* `minetest.rollback_revert_actions_by(actor, seconds)`: returns `boolean, log_messages`
* If there are two or more entries with the same pos value, the last entry is used.
* If `pos` is not inside the box formed by `p1` and `p2`, it is ignored.
* If `probability_list` equals `nil`, no probabilities are applied.
- * Slice probability works in the same manner, except takes a field called `ypos` instead which indicates
- the y position of the slice with a probability applied.
+ * Slice probability works in the same manner, except takes a field called `ypos` instead which
+ indicates the y position of the slice with a probability applied.
* If slice probability list equals `nil`, no slice probabilities are applied.
* Saves schematic in the Minetest Schematic format to filename.
* `override_day_night_ratio(ratio or nil)`
* `0`...`1`: Overrides day-night ratio, controlling sunlight to a specific amount
* `nil`: Disables override, defaulting to sunlight based on day-night cycle
-* `set_local_animation({x=0, y=79}, {x=168, y=187}, {x=189, y=198}, {x=200, y=219}, frame_speed=30)`: set animation for player model in third person view
+* `set_local_animation({x=0, y=79}, {x=168, y=187}, {x=189, y=198}, {x=200, y=219}, frame_speed=30)`:
+ set animation for player model in third person view
* stand/idle animation key frames
* walk animation key frames
* dig animation key frames
with values starting at `pos={x=,y=}`
* `get3dMap(pos)`: returns a `<size.x>` times `<size.y>` times `<size.z>` 3D array
of 3D noise with values starting at `pos={x=,y=,z=}`
-* `get2dMap_flat(pos)`: returns a flat `<size.x * size.y>` element array of 2D noise with values starting at `pos={x=,y=}`
+* `get2dMap_flat(pos)`: returns a flat `<size.x * size.y>` element array of 2D noise
+ with values starting at `pos={x=,y=}`
* `get3dMap_flat(pos)`: Same as `get2dMap_flat`, but 3D noise
