It’s difficult to maintain API compatibility with a disgusting mega God-mod like default in Minetest Game, in which case the game shouldn’t include a mod named default.ĪPI compatibility also applies to other third-party mods and games, so try to make sure that any new mods have a unique mod name. Small breakages aren’t that bad, such as not having a random utility function that was only actually used internally, but bigger breakages related to core features are very bad. Registered Nodes/Items - The presence of items.Lua API table - All documented/advertised functions in the global table which shares the same name.For example, if a game includes a mod called doors, then it should have the same API as doors in Minetest Game.ĪPI compatibility for a mod is the sum of the following things: That is, if a mod uses the same name as another mod, even if third-party, it should have a compatible API. The best way to keep compatibility with another game is to keep API compatibility with any mods which have the same name. It’s a good idea to try to keep as much API compatibility with Minetest Game as convenient, as it’ll make porting mods to another game much easier. Inter-game Compatibility API Compatibility The only thing that is required is a mods folder, but nf and menu/icon.png are recommended. Games are found in a game location, such as minetest/games/foo_game. The structure and location of a game will seem rather familiar after working with mods. It’s beyond the scope of the book to more than briefly touch on it. Game design is a complex topic and is actually a whole field of expertise. A good game has a consistent underlying theme and a direction, for example, it could be a classic crafter miner with hard survival elements, or it could be a space simulation game with a steampunk automation aesthetic. Games are a collection of mods which work together to make a cohesive game. The power of Minetest is the ability to easily develop games without the need to create your own voxel graphics, voxel algorithms, or fancy networking code.
