minetest_game API
======================
GitHub Repo: https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game
Introduction
------------
The minetest_game gamemode offers multiple new possibilities in addition to Minetest's built-in API, allowing you to
add new plants to farming mod, buckets for new liquids, new stairs and custom panes.
For information on the Minetest API, visit https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt
Please note:
[XYZ] refers to a section the Minetest API
[#ABC] refers to a section in this document
^ Explanation for line above
Bucket API
----------
The bucket API allows registering new types of buckets for non-default liquids.
bucket.register_liquid(
"default:lava_source", -- Source node name
"default:lava_flowing", -- Flowing node name
"bucket:bucket_lava", -- Name to be used for bucket
"bucket_lava.png", -- Bucket texture (for wielditem and inventory_image)
"Lava Bucket" -- Bucket description
)
Doors API
---------
The doors mod allows modders to register custom doors.
doors.register_door(name, def)
^ name: "Door name"
^ def: See [#Door definition]
#Door definition
----------------
{
description = "Door description",
inventory_image = "mod_door_inv.png",
groups = {group = 1},
tiles_bottom: [Tile definition],
^ the tiles of the bottom part of the door {front, side}
tiles_top: [Tile definition],
^ the tiles of the bottom part of the door {front, side}
node_box_bottom = regular nodebox, see [Node boxes], OPTIONAL,
node_box_top = regular nodebox, see [Node boxes], OPTIONAL,
selection_box_bottom = regular nodebox, see [Node boxes], OPTIONAL,
selection_box_top = regular nodebox, see [Node boxes], OPTIONAL,
only_placer_can_open = true/false,
^ If true, only placer can open the door (locked for others)
}
Farming API
-----------
The farming API allows you to easily register plants and hoes.
farming.register_hoe(name, hoe definition)
-> Register a new hoe, see [#hoe definition]
farming.register_plant(name, Plant definition)
-> Register a new growing plant, see [#Plant definition]
#Hoe Definition
---------------
{
description = "", -- Description for tooltip
inventory_image = "unknown_item.png", -- Image to be used as wield- and inventory image
max_uses = 30, -- Uses until destroyed
recipe = { -- Craft recipe
{"air", "air", "air"},
{"", "group:stick"},
{"", "group:stick"},
}
}
#Plant definition
-----------------
{
description = "", -- Description of seed item
inventory_image = "unknown_item.png", -- Image to be used as seed's wield- and inventory image
steps = 8, -- How many steps the plant has to grow, until it can be harvested
^ Always provide a plant texture for ech step, format: modname_plantname_i.png (i = stepnumber)
minlight = 13, -- Minimum light to grow
maxlight = LIGHT_MAX -- Maximum light to grow
}
Stairs API
----------
The stairs API lets you register stairs and slabs and ensures that they are registered the same way as those
delivered with minetest_game, to keep them compatible with other mods.
stairs.register_stair(subname, recipeitem, groups, images, description, sounds)
-> Registers a stair.
-> subname: Basically the material name (e.g. cobble) used for the stair name. Nodename pattern: "stairs:stair_subname"
-> recipeitem: Item used in the craft recipe, e.g. "default:cobble"
-> groups: see [Known damage and digging time defining groups]
-> images: see [Tile definition]
-> description: used for the description field in the stair's definition
-> sounds: see [#Default sounds]
stairs.register_slab(subname, recipeitem, groups, images, description, sounds)
-> Registers a slabs
-> subname: Basically the material name (e.g. cobble) used for the stair name. Nodename pattern: "stairs:stair_subname"
-> recipeitem: Item used in the craft recipe, e.g. "default:cobble"
-> groups: see [Known damage and digging time defining groups]
-> images: see [Tile definition]
-> description: used for the description field in the stair's definition
-> sounds: see [#Default sounds]
stairs.register_stair_and_slab(subname, recipeitem, groups, images, desc_stair, desc_slab, sounds)
-> A wrapper for stairs.register_stair and stairs.register_slab
-> Uses almost the same arguments as stairs.register_stair
-> desc_stair: Description for stair node
-> desc_slab: Description for slab node
Xpanes API
----------
Creates panes that automatically connect to each other
xpanes.register_pane(subname, def)
-> subname: used for nodename. Result: "xpanes:subname_{1..16}"
-> def: See [#Pane definition]
#Pane definition
----------------
{
textures = {"texture_Bottom_top", "texture_left_right", "texture_front_back"},
^ More tiles aren't supported
groups = {group = rating},
^ Uses the known node groups, see [Known damage and digging time defining groups]
sounds = SoundSpec,
^ See [#Default sounds]
recipe = {{"","","","","","","","",""}},
^ Recipe field only
on_construct = function(pos)
update_pane(pos, "pane")
end,
^ Required to handle rotation correctly
}
Default sounds
--------------
Sounds inside the default table can be used within the sounds field of node definitions.
default.node_sound_defaults()
default.node_sound_stone_defaults()
default.node_sound_dirt_defaults()
default.node_sound_sand_defaults()
default.node_sound_wood_defaults()
default.node_sound_leaves_defaults()
default.node_sound_glass_defaults()
Player API
----------
The player API can register player models and update the player's appearence
default.player_register_model(name, def)
^ Register a new model to be used by players.
-> name: model filename such as "character.x", "foo.b3d", etc.
-> def: See [#Model definition]
default.registered_player_models[name]
^ Get a model's definition
-> see [#Model definition]
default.player_set_model(player, model_name)
^ Change a player's model
-> player: PlayerRef
-> model_name: model registered with player_register_model()
default.player_set_animation(player, anim_name [, speed])
^ Applies an animation to a player
-> anim_name: name of the animation.
-> speed: frames per second. If nil, default from the model is used
default.player_set_textures(player, textures)
^ Sets player textures
-> player: PlayerRef
-> textures: array of textures
^ If <textures> is nil, the default textures from the model def are used
default.player_get_animation(player)
^ Returns a table containing fields "model", "textures" and "animation".
^ Any of the fields of the returned table may be nil.
-> player: PlayerRef
Model Definition
----------------
{
animation_speed = 30, -- Default animation speed, in FPS.
textures = {"character.png", }, -- Default array of textures.
visual_size = {x=1, y=1,}, -- Used to scale the model.
animations = {
-- <anim_name> = { x=<start_frame>, y=<end_frame>, },
foo = { x= 0, y=19, },
bar = { x=20, y=39, },
-- ...
},
}
