A `box` is defined as:
instances of 3d perlin noise with diffferent seeds, both described by
`noise_params`. `random_factor` varies the influence random chance has on
placement of an ore inside the vein, which is `1` by default. Note that
-modifying this parameter may require adjusting `noise_threshhold`.
+modifying this parameter may require adjusting `noise_threshold`.
The parameters `clust_scarcity`, `clust_num_ores`, and `clust_size` are ignored
by this ore type. This ore type is difficult to control since it is sensitive
to small changes. The following is a decent set of parameters to work from:
persist = 0.5,
flags = "eased",
},
- noise_threshhold = 1.6
+ noise_threshold = 1.6
WARNING: Use this ore type *very* sparingly since it is ~200x more
computationally expensive than any other ore.
node. It is called "node metadata"; See "`NodeMetaRef`".
Metadata contains two things:
+
* A key-value store
* An inventory
Some of the values in the key-value store are handled specially:
+
* `formspec`: Defines a right-click inventory menu. See "Formspec".
* `infotext`: Text shown on the screen when the node is pointed at
* types: `text`, `image`, `color`, `indent`, `tree`
* `text`: show cell contents as text
* `image`: cell contents are an image index, use column options to define images
- * `colo`: cell contents are a ColorString and define color of following cell
+ * `color`: cell contents are a ColorString and define color of following cell
* `indent`: cell contents are a number and define indentation of following cell
* `tree`: same as indent, but user can open and close subtrees (treeview-like)
* column options:
`colorspec = "green"`

### `InvRef`
An `InvRef` is a reference to an inventory.

* `get_areas_in_area(edge1, edge2, accept_overlap, include_borders, include_data)`: returns all areas that contain all nodes inside the area specified by `edge1` and `edge2` (inclusive). If `accept_overlap` is true, also areas are returned that have nodes in common with the specified area. (optional) Boolean values `include_borders` and `include_data` control what's copied.
-* `insert_area(edge1, edge2, data)`: inserts an area into the store. Returns the id if successful, nil otherwise. The (inclusive) positions `edge1` and `edge2` describe the area, `data`

The (inclusive) positions `edge1` and `edge2` describe the area. `data` is a string stored with the area. If passed, `id` will be used as the internal area ID, it must be a unique number between 0 and 2^32-2. If you use the `id` parameter you must always use it, or insertions are likely to fail due to conflicts.

limit = number, -- the cache's size, minimum 20, default 1000
}

+* `to_file(filename)`: Experimental. Like `to_string()`, but writes the data to a file.
+* `from_string(str)`: Experimental. Deserializes string and loads it into the AreaStore. Returns success and, optionally, an error message.
+* `from_file(filename)`: Experimental. Like `from_string()`, but reads the data from a file.
### `ItemStack`
An `ItemStack` is a stack of items.
Inside of `on_generated()` callbacks, it is possible to retrieve the same VoxelManip object used by the
core's Map Generator (commonly abbreviated Mapgen). Most of the rules previously described still apply
but with a few differences:
+
* The Mapgen VoxelManip object is retrieved using: `minetest.get_mapgen_object("voxelmanip")`
* This VoxelManip object already has the region of map just generated loaded into it; it's not necessary
to call `VoxelManip:read_from_map()` before using a Mapgen VoxelManip.
* `update_map()`: Update map after writing chunk back to map.
* To be used only by `VoxelManip` objects created by the mod itself;
not a `VoxelManip` that was retrieved from `minetest.get_mapgen_object`
-* `set_lighting(light, p1, p2)`: Set the lighting within the `VoxelManip` to a uniform value
+* `set_lighting(light, [p1, p2])`: Set the lighting within the `VoxelManip` to a uniform value
* `light` is a table, `{day=<0...15>, night=<0...15>}`
* To be used only by a `VoxelManip` object from `minetest.get_mapgen_object`
* (`p1`, `p2`) is the area in which lighting is set;
* expects lighting data in the same format that `get_light_data()` returns
* `get_param2_data()`: Gets the raw `param2` data read into the `VoxelManip` object
* `set_param2_data(param2_data)`: Sets the `param2` contents of each node in the `VoxelManip`
-* `calc_lighting(p1, p2)`: Calculate lighting within the `VoxelManip`
+* `calc_lighting([p1, p2], [propagate_shadow])`: Calculate lighting within the `VoxelManip`
* To be used only by a `VoxelManip` object from `minetest.get_mapgen_object`
* (`p1`, `p2`) is the area in which lighting is set; defaults to the whole area
- if left out
+ if left out or nil
+ * `propagate_shadow` is an optional boolean deciding whether shadows in a generated
+ mapchunk above are propagated down into the mapchunk; defaults to `true` if left out
* `update_liquids()`: Update liquid flow
* `was_modified()`: Returns `true` or `false` if the data in the voxel manipulator
had been modified since the last read from map, due to a call to
