multiserver API

A multiserver RPC API for Minetest Servers

Usage

Install this mod on your minetest servers and enable mod channels on each server. You can now use the API in your own mods. None of the methods will work if no players are connected to the minetest server. A fix is planned.

Planned features

• Fix dependence on connected player
• Add register_on_* methods
• Low priority: Stop using callback functions if a response is expected
