display_modpack/display_api

Display API

This library's purpose is to ease creation of nodes with one or more displays on sides. For example, signs and clocks. Display can be dynamic and/or different for each node instance.

Limitations: This lib uses entities to draw display. This means display has to be vertical (and "upside up") on Minetest before version 5.0.
