  1. Minetest Game API
  2. =================
  3. GitHub Repo: https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game
  4. Introduction
  5. ------------
  6. The Minetest Game game offers multiple new possibilities in addition to the Minetest engine's built-in API,
  7. allowing you to add new plants to farming mod, buckets for new liquids, new stairs and custom panes.
  8. For information on the Minetest API, visit https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt
  9. Please note:
  10. * [XYZ] refers to a section the Minetest API
  11. * [#ABC] refers to a section in this document
  12. * [pos] refers to a position table `{x = -5, y = 0, z = 200}`
  13. Bucket API
  14. ----------
  15. The bucket API allows registering new types of buckets for non-default liquids.
  16. bucket.register_liquid(
  17. "default:lava_source", -- name of the source node
  18. "default:lava_flowing", -- name of the flowing node
  19. "bucket:bucket_lava", -- name of the new bucket item (or nil if liquid is not takeable)
  20. "bucket_lava.png", -- texture of the new bucket item (ignored if itemname == nil)
  21. "Lava Bucket", -- text description of the bucket item
  22. {lava_bucket = 1}, -- groups of the bucket item, OPTIONAL
  23. false -- force-renew, OPTIONAL. Force the liquid source to renew if it has
  24. -- a source neighbour, even if defined as 'liquid_renewable = false'.
  25. -- Needed to avoid creating holes in sloping rivers.
  26. )
  27. The filled bucket item is returned to the player that uses an empty bucket pointing to the given liquid source.
  28. When punching with an empty bucket pointing to an entity or a non-liquid node, the on_punch of the entity or node will be triggered.
  29. Beds API
  30. --------
  31. beds.register_bed(
  32. "beds:bed", -- Bed name
  33. def -- See [#Bed definition]
  34. )
  35. * `beds.can_dig(bed_pos)` Returns a boolean whether the bed at `bed_pos` may be dug
  36. * `beds.read_spawns() ` Returns a table containing players respawn positions
  37. * `beds.kick_players()` Forces all players to leave bed
  38. * `beds.skip_night()` Sets world time to morning and saves respawn position of all players currently sleeping
  39. ### Bed definition
  40. {
  41. description = "Simple Bed",
  42. inventory_image = "beds_bed.png",
  43. wield_image = "beds_bed.png",
  44. tiles = {
  45. bottom = {'Tile definition'}, -- the tiles of the bottom part of the bed.
  46. top = {Tile definition} -- the tiles of the bottom part of the bed.
  47. },
  48. nodebox = {
  49. bottom = 'regular nodebox', -- bottom part of bed (see [Node boxes])
  50. top = 'regular nodebox', -- top part of bed (see [Node boxes])
  51. },
  52. selectionbox = 'regular nodebox', -- for both nodeboxes (see [Node boxes])
  53. recipe = { -- Craft recipe
  54. {"group:wool", "group:wool", "group:wool"},
  55. {"group:wood", "group:wood", "group:wood"}
  56. }
  57. }
  58. Bones API
  59. ---------
  60. An ordered list of listnames (default: "main", "craft") of the player inventory,
  61. that will be placed into bones or dropped on player death can be looked up or changed
  62. in `bones.player_inventory_lists`.
  63. e.g. `table.insert(bones.player_inventory_lists, "backpack")`
  64. Creative API
  65. ------------
  66. Use `creative.register_tab(name, title, items)` to add a tab with filtered items.
  67. For example,
  68. creative.register_tab("tools", "Tools", minetest.registered_tools)
  69. is used to show all tools. Name is used in the sfinv page name, title is the
  70. human readable title.
  71. Creative provides `creative.is_enabled_for(name)`, which is identical in
  72. functionality to the engine's `minetest.creative_is_enabled(name)`.
  73. Its use is deprecated and it should also not be overriden.
  74. The contents of `creative.formspec_add` is appended to every creative inventory
  75. page. Mods can use it to add additional formspec elements onto the default
  76. creative inventory formspec to be drawn after each update.
  77. Group overrides can be used for any registered item, node or tool. Use one of
  78. the groups stated below to pick which category it will appear in.
  79. node = 1 -- Appears in the Nodes category
  80. tool = 1 -- Appears in the Tools category
  81. craftitem = 1 -- Appears in the Items category
  82. Chests API

  84. The chests API allows the creation of chests, which have their own inventories for holding items.
  85. `default.chest.get_chest_formspec(pos)`
  86. * Returns a formspec for a specific chest.
  87. * `pos` Location of the chest node, e.g `{x = 1, y = 1, z = 1}`

  89. * Returns a boolean depending on whether or not a chest has its top obstructed by a solid node.
  90. * `pos` Location of the chest node, e.g `{x = 1, y = 1, z = 1}`
  91. `default.chest.chest_lid_close(pn)`
  92. * Closes the chest that a player is currently looking in.
  93. * `pn` The name of the player whose chest is going to be closed
  94. `default.chest.open_chests`
  95. * A table indexed by player name to keep track of who opened what chest.
  96. * Key: The name of the player.
  97. * Value: A table containing information about the chest the player is looking at.
  98. e.g `{ pos = {1, 1, 1}, sound = null, swap = "default:chest" }`
  99. `default.chest.register_chest(name, def)`
  100. * Registers new chest

  341. ### Model Definition
  342. {
  343. animation_speed = 30, -- Default animation speed, in FPS.
  344. textures = {"character.png", }, -- Default array of textures.
  345. visual_size = {x = 1, y = 1}, -- Used to scale the model.
  346. animations = {
  347. -- <anim_name> = {x = <start_frame>, y = <end_frame>},
  348. foo = {x = 0, y = 19},
  349. bar = {x = 20, y = 39},
  350. -- ...
  351. },
  352. collisionbox = {-0.3, 0.0, -0.3, 0.3, 1.7, 0.3}, -- In nodes from feet position
  353. stepheight = 0.6, -- In nodes
  354. eye_height = 1.47, -- In nodes above feet position
  355. }
  356. TNT API
  357. -------
  358. `tnt.register_tnt(definition)`
  359. ^ Register a new type of tnt.
  360. * `name` The name of the node. If no prefix is given `tnt` is used.
  361. * `description` A description for your TNT.
  362. * `radius` The radius within which the TNT can destroy nodes. The default is 3.
  363. * `damage_radius` The radius within which the TNT can damage players and mobs. By default it is twice the `radius`.
  364. * `sound` The sound played when explosion occurs. By default it is `tnt_explode`.
  365. * `disable_drops` Disable drops. By default it is set to false.
  366. * `ignore_protection` Don't check `minetest.is_protected` before removing a node.
  367. * `ignore_on_blast` Don't call `on_blast` even if a node has one.
  368. * `tiles` Textures for node
  369. * `side` Side tiles. By default the name of the tnt with a suffix of `_side.png`.
  370. * `top` Top tile. By default the name of the tnt with a suffix of `_top.png`.
  371. * `bottom` Bottom tile. By default the name of the tnt with a suffix of `_bottom.png`.
  372. * `burning` Top tile when lit. By default the name of the tnt with a suffix of `_top_burning_animated.png".
  373. `tnt.boom(position[, definition])`
  374. ^ Create an explosion.
  375. * `position` The center of explosion.
  376. * `definition` The TNT definion as passed to `tnt.register` with the following addition:
  377. * `explode_center` false by default which removes TNT node on blast, when true will explode center node.
  378. `tnt.burn(position, [nodename])`
  379. ^ Ignite node at position, triggering its `on_ignite` callback (see fire mod).
  380. If no such callback exists, fallback to turn tnt group nodes to their
  381. "_burning" variant.
  382. nodename isn't required unless already known.
  383. To make dropping items from node inventories easier, you can use the
  384. following helper function from 'default':
  385. default.get_inventory_drops(pos, inventory, drops)
  386. ^ Return drops from node inventory "inventory" in drops.
  387. * `pos` - the node position
  388. * `inventory` - the name of the inventory (string)
  389. * `drops` - an initialized list
  390. The function returns no values. The drops are returned in the `drops`
  391. parameter, and drops is not reinitialized so you can call it several
  392. times in a row to add more inventory items to it.
  393. `on_blast` callbacks:
  394. Both nodedefs and entitydefs can provide an `on_blast()` callback
  395. `nodedef.on_blast(pos, intensity)`
  396. ^ Allow drop and node removal overriding
  397. * `pos` - node position
  398. * `intensity` - TNT explosion measure. larger or equal to 1.0
  399. ^ Should return a list of drops (e.g. {"default:stone"})
  400. ^ Should perform node removal itself. If callback exists in the nodedef
  401. ^ then the TNT code will not destroy this node.
  402. `entitydef.on_blast(luaobj, damage)`
  403. ^ Allow TNT effects on entities to be overridden
  404. * `luaobj` - LuaEntityRef of the entity
  405. * `damage` - suggested HP damage value
  406. ^ Should return a list of (bool do_damage, bool do_knockback, table drops)
  407. * `do_damage` - if true then TNT mod wil damage the entity
  408. * `do_knockback` - if true then TNT mod will knock the entity away
  409. * `drops` - a list of drops, e.g. {"wool:red"}
  410. Screwdriver API
  411. ---------------
  412. The screwdriver API allows you to control a node's behaviour when a screwdriver is used on it.
  413. To use it, add the `on_screwdriver` function to the node definition.
  414. `on_rotate(pos, node, user, mode, new_param2)`
  415. * `pos` Position of the node that the screwdriver is being used on
  416. * `node` that node
  417. * `user` The player who used the screwdriver
  418. * `mode` screwdriver.ROTATE_FACE or screwdriver.ROTATE_AXIS
  419. * `new_param2` the new value of param2 that would have been set if on_rotate wasn't there
  420. * return value: false to disallow rotation, nil to keep default behaviour, true to allow
  421. it but to indicate that changed have already been made (so the screwdriver will wear out)
  422. * use `on_rotate = false` to always disallow rotation
  423. * use `on_rotate = screwdriver.rotate_simple` to allow only face rotation
  424. Sethome API
  425. -----------
  426. The sethome API adds three global functions to allow mods to read a players home position,
  427. set a players home position and teleport a player to home position.
  428. `sethome.get(name)`
  429. * `name` Player who's home position you wish to get
  430. * return value: false if no player home coords exist, position table if true
  431. `sethome.set(name, pos)`
  432. * `name` Player who's home position you wish to set
  433. * `pos` Position table containing coords of home position
  434. * return value: false if unable to set and save new home position, otherwise true
  435. `sethome.go(name)`
  436. * `name` Player you wish to teleport to their home position
  437. * return value: false if player cannot be sent home, otherwise true
  438. Sfinv API

  503. function sfinv.get_nav_fs(player, context, nav, current_idx)
  504. return "navformspec"
  505. end
  506. And override this function to change the layout:
  507. function sfinv.make_formspec(player, context, content, show_inv, size)
  508. local tmp = {
  509. size or "size[8,8.6]",
  510. theme_main,

  515. tmp[4] = theme_inv
  516. end
  517. return table.concat(tmp, "")
  518. end

  576. (unused),
  577. "texture for the 4 edges"
  578. }, -- More tiles aren't supported
  579. groups = {group = rating}, -- Uses the known node groups, see [Known damage and digging time defining groups]
  580. sounds = SoundSpec, -- See [#Default sounds]
  581. recipe = {{"","","","","","","","",""}}, -- Recipe field only
  582. use_texture_alpha = true, -- Optional boolean (default: `false`) for colored glass panes
  583. }
  584. Raillike definitions
  585. --------------------
  586. The following nodes use the group `connect_to_raillike` and will only connect to
  587. raillike nodes within this group and the same group value.
  588. Use `minetest.raillike_group(<Name>)` to get the group value.
  589. | Node type | Raillike group name
  590. |-----------------------|---------------------
  591. | default:rail | "rail"
  592. | tnt:gunpowder | "gunpowder"
  593. | tnt:gunpowder_burning | "gunpowder"
  594. Example:
  595. If you want to add a new rail type and want it to connect with default:rail,
  596. add `connect_to_raillike=minetest.raillike_group("rail")` into the `groups` table
  597. of your node.
  598. Default sounds
  599. --------------
  600. Sounds inside the default table can be used within the sounds field of node definitions.
  601. * `default.node_sound_defaults()`
  602. * `default.node_sound_stone_defaults()`
  603. * `default.node_sound_dirt_defaults()`
  604. * `default.node_sound_sand_defaults()`
  605. * `default.node_sound_wood_defaults()`
  606. * `default.node_sound_leaves_defaults()`
  607. * `default.node_sound_glass_defaults()`
  608. * `default.node_sound_metal_defaults()`
  609. Default constants
  610. -----------------
  611. `default.LIGHT_MAX` The maximum light level (see [Node definition] light_source)
  612. GUI and formspecs
  613. -----------------
  614. `default.get_hotbar_bg(x, y)`
  615. * Get the hotbar background as string, containing the formspec elements
  616. * x: Horizontal position in the formspec
  617. * y: Vertical position in the formspec

  628. * fuel_percent: Percent of how much the fuel is used
  629. * item_percent: Percent of how much the item is cooked
  630. `default.get_furnace_inactive_formspec()`
  631. * Get the inactive furnace formspec using the defined GUI elements
  632. Leafdecay
  633. ---------
  634. To enable leaf decay for leaves when a tree is cut down by a player,
  635. register the tree with the default.register_leafdecay(leafdecaydef)
  636. function.
  637. If `param2` of any registered node is ~= 0, the node will always be
  638. preserved. Thus, if the player places a node of that kind, you will
  639. want to set `param2 = 1` or so.
  640. The function `default.after_place_leaves` can be set as
  641. `after_place_node of a node` to set param2 to 1 if the player places
  642. the node (should not be used for nodes that use param2 otherwise
  643. (e.g. facedir)).
  644. If the node is in the `leafdecay_drop` group then it will always be
  645. dropped as an item.
  646. `default.register_leafdecay(leafdecaydef)`
  647. `leafdecaydef` is a table, with following members:
  648. {
  649. trunks = {"default:tree"}, -- nodes considered trunks
  650. leaves = {"default:leaves", "default:apple"},
  651. -- nodes considered for removal
  652. radius = 3, -- radius to consider for searching
  653. }
  654. Note: all the listed nodes in `trunks` have their `on_after_destruct`
  655. callback overridden. All the nodes listed in `leaves` have their
  656. `on_timer` callback overridden.
  657. Dyes
  658. ----
  659. Minetest Game dyes are registered with:
  660. groups = {dye = 1, color_<color> = 1},
  661. To make recipes that will work with dyes from many mods, define them using the
  662. dye group and the color groups.
  663. Dye color groups:
  664. * `color_white`
  665. * `color_grey`
  666. * `color_dark_grey`
  667. * `color_black`
  668. * `color_red`
  669. * `color_pink`
  670. * `color_orange`
  671. * `color_brown`
  672. * `color_yellow`
  673. * `color_green`
  674. * `color_dark_green`
  675. * `color_blue`
  676. * `color_cyan`
  677. * `color_violet`
  678. * `color_magenta`
  679. Example of one shapeless recipe using the dye group and a color group:
  680. minetest.register_craft({
  681. type = "shapeless",
  682. output = "<mod>:item_yellow",
  683. recipe = {"<mod>:item_no_color", "group:dye,color_yellow"},
  684. })
  685. Trees
  686. -----
  687. * `default.grow_tree(pos, is_apple_tree)`
  688. * Grows a mgv6 tree or apple tree at pos
  689. * `default.grow_jungle_tree(pos)`
  690. * Grows a mgv6 jungletree at pos
  691. * `default.grow_pine_tree(pos)`
  692. * Grows a mgv6 pinetree at pos
  693. * `default.grow_new_apple_tree(pos)`
  694. * Grows a new design apple tree at pos
  695. * `default.grow_new_jungle_tree(pos)`
  696. * Grows a new design jungle tree at pos
  697. * `default.grow_new_pine_tree(pos)`
  698. * Grows a new design pine tree at pos
  699. * `default.grow_new_snowy_pine_tree(pos)`
  700. * Grows a new design snowy pine tree at pos
  701. * `default.grow_new_acacia_tree(pos)`
  702. * Grows a new design acacia tree at pos
  703. * `default.grow_new_aspen_tree(pos)`
  704. * Grows a new design aspen tree at pos
  705. * `default.grow_bush(pos)`
  706. * Grows a bush at pos
  707. * `default.grow_acacia_bush(pos)`
  708. * Grows an acaia bush at pos
  709. * `default.grow_pine_bush(pos)`
  710. * Grows a pine bush at pos
  711. * `default.grow_blueberry_bush(pos)`
  712. * Grows a blueberry bush at pos
  713. Carts
  714. -----
  715. carts.register_rail(
  716. "mycarts:myrail", -- Rail name
  717. nodedef, -- standard nodedef
  718. railparams -- rail parameter struct (optional)
  719. )
  720. railparams = {
  721. on_step(obj, dtime), -- Event handler called when
  722. -- cart is on rail
  723. acceleration, -- integer acceleration factor (negative
  724. -- values to brake)
  725. }
  726. The event handler is called after all default calculations
  727. are made, so the custom on_step handler can override things
  728. like speed, acceleration, player attachment. The handler will
  729. likely be called many times per second, so the function needs
  730. to make sure that the event is handled properly.
  731. Key API
  732. -------
  733. The key API allows mods to add key functionality to nodes that have
  734. ownership or specific permissions. Using the API will make it so
  735. that a node owner can use skeleton keys on their nodes to create keys
  736. for that node in that location, and give that key to other players,
  737. allowing them some sort of access that they otherwise would not have
  738. due to node protection.
  739. To make your new nodes work with the key API, you need to register
  740. two callback functions in each nodedef:
  741. `on_key_use(pos, player)`
  742. * Is called when a player right-clicks (uses) a normal key on your
  743. * node.
  744. * `pos` - position of the node
  745. * `player` - PlayerRef
  746. * return value: none, ignored
  747. The `on_key_use` callback should validate that the player is wielding
  748. a key item with the right key meta secret. If needed the code should
  749. deny access to the node functionality.
  750. If formspecs are used, the formspec callbacks should duplicate these
  751. checks in the metadata callback functions.
  752. `on_skeleton_key_use(pos, player, newsecret)`
  753. * Is called when a player right-clicks (uses) a skeleton key on your
  754. * node.
  755. * `pos` - position of the node
  756. * `player` - PlayerRef
  757. * `newsecret` - a secret value(string)
  758. * return values:
  759. * `secret` - `nil` or the secret value that unlocks the door
  760. * `name` - a string description of the node ("a locked chest")
  761. * `owner` - name of the node owner
  762. The `on_skeleton_key_use` function should validate that the player has
  763. the right permissions to make a new key for the item. The newsecret
  764. value is useful if the node has no secret value. The function should
  765. store this secret value somewhere so that in the future it may compare
  766. key secrets and match them to allow access. If a node already has a
  767. secret value, the function should return that secret value instead
  768. of the newsecret value. The secret value stored for the node should
  769. not be overwritten, as this would invalidate existing keys.
  770. Aside from the secret value, the function should retun a descriptive
  771. name for the node and the owner name. The return values are all
  772. encoded in the key that will be given to the player in replacement
  773. for the wielded skeleton key.
  774. if `nil` is returned, it is assumed that the wielder did not have
  775. permissions to create a key for this node, and no key is created.
  776. `default.register_craft_metadata_copy(ingredient, result)`
  777. ----------------------------------------------------------
  778. This function registers a shapeless recipe that takes `ingredient`
  779. and `result` as input and outputs `result`.
  780. The metadata of the input `result` is copied to the output `result`.
