* Called when the local player punches a node
* Newest functions are called first
* If any function returns true, the punch is ignored
+* `minetest.register_on_placenode(function(pointed_thing, node))`
+ * Called when a node has been placed
### Sounds
* `minetest.sound_play(spec, parameters)`: returns a handle
* `spec` is a `SimpleSoundSpec`
### Player
* `minetest.get_wielded_item()`
* Returns the itemstack the local player is holding
+* `minetest.localplayer`
+ * Reference to the LocalPlayer object. See `LocalPlayer` class reference for methods.
### Client Environment
* `minetest.get_player_names()`
* `minetest.disconnect()`
* Disconnect from the server and exit to main menu.
* Returns `false` if the client is already disconnecting otherwise returns `true`.
-* `minetest.get_protocol_version()`
- * Returns the protocol version of the server.
- * Might not be accurate at start up as the client might not be connected to the server yet, in that case it will return 0.
+* `minetest.take_screenshot()`
+ * Take a screenshot.
+* `minetest.get_server_info()`
+ * Returns [server info](#server-info).
### Misc.
* `minetest.parse_json(string[, nullvalue])`: returns something
* `get_angle()`: returns the current minimap angle in degrees
* `set_mode(mode)`: sets the minimap mode (0 to 6)
* `get_mode()`: returns the current minimap mode
-* `toggle_shape()`: toggles minimap shape to round or square.
+* `set_shape(shape)`: Sets the minimap shape. (0 = square, 1 = round)
+* `get_shape()`: Gets the minimap shape. (0 = square, 1 = round)
+
+### LocalPlayer
+An interface to retrieve information about the player. The player is
+not accessible until the client is fully done loading and therefore
+not at module init time.
+
+To get the localplayer handle correctly, use `on_connect()` as follows:
+
+```lua
+local localplayer
+minetest.register_on_connect(function()
+ localplayer = minetest.localplayer
+end)
+```
+
+Methods:
+
+* `get_pos()`
+ * returns current player current position
+* `get_velocity()`
+ * returns player speed vector
+* `get_hp()`
+ * returns player HP
+* `get_name()`
+ * returns player name
+* `is_attached()`
+ * returns true if player is attached
+* `is_touching_ground()`
+ * returns true if player touching ground
+* `is_in_liquid()`
+ * returns true if player is in a liquid (This oscillates so that the player jumps a bit above the surface)
+* `is_in_liquid_stable()`
+ * returns true if player is in a stable liquid (This is more stable and defines the maximum speed of the player)
+* `get_liquid_viscosity()`
+ * returns liquid viscosity (Gets the viscosity of liquid to calculate friction)
+* `is_climbing()`
+ * returns true if player is climbing
+* `swimming_vertical()`
+ * returns true if player is swimming in vertical
+* `get_physics_override()`
+ * returns:
+
+```lua
+ {
+ speed = float,
+ jump = float,
+ gravity = float,
+ sneak = boolean,
+ sneak_glitch = boolean
+ }
+```
+
+* `get_override_pos()`
+ * returns override position
+* `get_last_pos()`
+ * returns last player position before the current client step
+* `get_last_velocity()`
+ * returns last player speed
+* `get_breath()`
+ * returns the player's breath
+* `get_look_dir()`
+ * returns look direction vector
+* `get_look_horizontal()`
+ * returns look horizontal angle
+* `get_look_vertical()`
+ * returns look vertical angle
+* `get_eye_pos()`
+ * returns the player's eye position
+* `get_eye_offset()`
+ * returns the player's eye shift vector
+* `get_movement_acceleration()`
+ * returns acceleration of the player in different environments:
+
+```lua
+ {
+ fast = float,
+ air = float,
+ default = float,
+ }
+```
+
+* `get_movement_speed()`
+ * returns player's speed in different environments:
+
+```lua
+ {
+ walk = float,
+ jump = float,
+ crouch = float,
+ fast = float,
+ climb = float,
+ }
+```
+
+* `get_movement()`
+ * returns player's movement in different environments:
+
+```lua
+ {
+ liquid_fluidity = float,
+ liquid_sink = float,
+ liquid_fluidity_smooth = float,
+ gravity = float,
+ }
+```
+
+* `get_last_look_horizontal()`:
+ * returns last look horizontal angle
+* `get_last_look_vertical()`:
+ * returns last look vertical angle
+* `get_key_pressed()`:
+ * returns last key typed by the player
### Settings
An interface to read config files in the format of `minetest.conf`.
{
params = "<name> <privilege>", -- Short parameter description
description = "Remove privilege from player", -- Full description
- func = function(param), -- Called when command is run.
- -- Returns boolean success and text output.
+ func = function(param), -- Called when command is run.
+ -- Returns boolean success and text output.
}
+### Server info
+```lua
+{
+ address = "minetest.example.org", -- The domain name/IP address of a remote server or "" for a local server.
+ ip = "203.0.113.156", -- The IP address of the server.
+ port = 30000, -- The port the client is connected to.
+ protocol_version = 30 -- Will not be accurate at start up as the client might not be connected to the server yet, in that case it will be 0.
+}
+```
