Crafting Guide

craftguide is the most comprehensive crafting guide on Minetest.

Consult the Minetest Wiki for more details.

This crafting guide is a blue book named "Crafting Guide" or a wooden sign.

This crafting guide features a progressive mode. The progressive mode is a Terraria-like system that only shows recipes you can craft from items you ever had in your inventory. To enable it: craftguide_progressive_mode = true in minetest.conf.

craftguide is also integrated in sfinv (Minetest Game inventory). To enable it: craftguide_sfinv_only = true in minetest.conf.

Use the command /craft to show the recipe(s) of the pointed node.

Progressive mode

craftguide.add_progressive_filter(name, function(recipes, player))

This function adds a recipe filter when progressive mode is enabled. The default craftguide filter will still be used.

The function should return the recipes to be displayed, given the available recipes and an ObjectRef to the user. Each recipe is a table of the form returned by minetest.get_craft_recipe.

Example function to hide recipes for items from a mod called "secretstuff":

craftguide.add_progressive_filter("Hide secretstuff", function(recipes)
	local filtered = {}
	for _, recipe in ipairs(recipes) do
		if recipe.output:sub(1,12) ~= "secretstuff:" then
			filtered[#filtered + 1] = recipe
		end
	end

	return filtered
end)

craftguide.set_progressive_filter(name, function(recipes, player))

This function sets an unique recipe filter when progressive mode is enabled. The default craftguide progressive filter will be overridden.

craftguide.get_progressive_filters()

This function returns all progressive filters that are applied to recipes in progressive mode.
