color, meaning white surfaces get a lot of your new color while black parts
don't change very much.
+#### `[png:<base64>`
+
+Embed a base64 encoded PNG image in the texture string.
+You can produce a valid string for this by calling
+`minetest.encode_base64(minetest.encode_png(tex))`,
+refer to the documentation of these functions for details.
+You can use this to send disposable images such as captchas
+to individual clients, or render things that would be too
+expensive to compose with `[combine:`.
+
+IMPORTANT: Avoid sending large images this way.
+This is not a replacement for asset files, do not use it to do anything
+that you could instead achieve by just using a file.
+In particular consider `minetest.dynamic_add_media` and test whether
+using other texture modifiers could result in a shorter string than
+embedding a whole image, this may vary by use case.

Negative damage values are discarded as no damage.
* `falling_node`: if there is no walkable block under the node it will fall
-* `float`: the node will not fall through liquids
+* `float`: the node will not fall through liquids (`liquidtype ~= "none"`)
* `level`: Can be used to give an additional sense of progression in the game.
* A larger level will cause e.g. a weapon of a lower level make much less

### Uses (tools only)
Determines how many uses the tool has when it is used for digging a node,
-of this group, of the maximum level. For lower leveled nodes, the use count
-is multiplied by `3^leveldiff`.
+of this group, of the maximum level. The maximum supported number of
+uses is 65535. The special number 0 is used for infinite uses.
+For lower leveled nodes, the use count is multiplied by `3^leveldiff`.
`leveldiff` is the difference of the tool's `maxlevel` `groupcaps` and the
node's `level` group. The node cannot be dug if `leveldiff` is less than zero.
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
+* `formspec`: Defines an inventory menu that is opened with the
+ 'place/use' key. Only works if no `on_rightclick` was
+ defined for the node. See also [Formspec].
+* `infotext`: Text shown on the screen when the node is pointed at.
+ Line-breaks will be applied automatically.
+ If the infotext is very long, it will be truncated.
Example:
vectors are written like this: `(x, y, z)`:
* `vector.new([a[, b, c]])`:
- * Returns a vector.
- * A copy of `a` if `a` is a vector.
- * `(a, b, c)`, if all of `a`, `b`, `c` are defined numbers.
- * `(0, 0, 0)`, if no arguments are given.
+ * Returns a new vector `(a, b, c)`.
+ * Deprecated: `vector.new()` does the same as `vector.zero()` and
+ `vector.new(v)` does the same as `vector.copy(v)`
+* `vector.zero()`:
+ * Returns a new vector `(0, 0, 0)`.
+* `vector.copy(v)`:
+ * Returns a copy of the vector `v`.
* `vector.from_string(s[, init])`:
* Returns `v, np`, where `v` is a vector read from the given string `s` and
`np` is the next position in the string after the vector.
* `minetest.pointed_thing_to_face_pos(placer, pointed_thing)`: returns a
position.
* returns the exact position on the surface of a pointed node
-* `minetest.get_dig_params(groups, tool_capabilities)`: Simulates an item
- that digs a node.
+* `minetest.get_dig_params(groups, tool_capabilities [, wear])`:
+ Simulates an item that digs a node.
Returns a table with the following fields:
* `diggable`: `true` if node can be dug, `false` otherwise.
* `time`: Time it would take to dig the node.
Parameters:
* `groups`: Table of the node groups of the node that would be dug
* `tool_capabilities`: Tool capabilities table of the item
-* `minetest.get_hit_params(groups, tool_capabilities [, time_from_last_punch])`:
+ * `wear`: Amount of wear the tool starts with (default: 0)
+* `minetest.get_hit_params(groups, tool_capabilities [, time_from_last_punch [, wear]])`:
Simulates an item that punches an object.
Returns a table with the following fields:
* `hp`: How much damage the punch would cause.
* `groups`: Damage groups of the object
* `tool_capabilities`: Tool capabilities table of the item
* `time_from_last_punch`: time in seconds since last punch action
+ * `wear`: Amount of wear the item starts with (default: 0)

- * `filepath`: path to a media file on the filesystem

- (previously there was no callback argument; omitting it is deprecated)
- * Adds the file to the media sent to clients by the server on startup
- and also pushes this file to already connected clients.
- The file must be a supported image, sound or model format. It must not be
- modified, deleted, moved or renamed after calling this function.
- The list of dynamically added media is not persisted.
+* `minetest.dynamic_add_media(options, callback)`
+ * `options`: table containing the following parameters
+ * `filepath`: path to a media file on the filesystem
+ * `to_player`: name of the player the media should be sent to instead of
+ all players (optional)
+ * `ephemeral`: boolean that marks the media as ephemeral,
+ it will not be cached on the client (optional, default false)
+ * `callback`: function with arguments `name`, which is a player name
+ * Pushes the specified media file to client(s). (details below)
+ The file must be a supported image, sound or model format.
+ Dynamically added media is not persisted between server restarts.
* Returns false on error, true if the request was accepted
* The given callback will be called for every player as soon as the
media is available on the client.
- Old clients that lack support for this feature will not see the media
- unless they reconnect to the server. (callback won't be called)
- * Since media transferred this way currently does not use client caching
- or HTTP transfers, dynamic media should not be used with big files.
+ * Details/Notes:
+ * If `ephemeral`=false and `to_player` is unset the file is added to the media
+ sent to clients on startup, this means the media will appear even on
+ old clients if they rejoin the server.
+ * If `ephemeral`=false the file must not be modified, deleted, moved or
+ renamed after calling this function.
+ * Regardless of any use of `ephemeral`, adding media files with the same
+ name twice is not possible/guaranteed to work. An exception to this is the
+ use of `to_player` to send the same, already existent file to multiple
+ chosen players.
+ * Clients will attempt to fetch files added this way via remote media,
+ this can make transfer of bigger files painless (if set up). Nevertheless
+ it is advised not to use dynamic media for big media files.
