Minetest4 Game
==============
The default game for the Minetest4 engine.
This is a fork from minetest default game, this
are made from minenux project https://codeberg.org/minenux
for minetest v5 and minetest v4 or 0.4.
Introduction
------------
This is the branch `stable-4.0` of minetest game for minetest4 a version
that is focused in v5 of minetest but mainly in 4.0 release. There's
also a minetest4 game version too in `stable-4.0` branch.
This are focused to provide minimal default game featured for minetest4
to be playable, with an [api](game_api.md) for more aditions (in the form of mods)
For further information, check the [Minetest Wiki](https://wiki.minetest.net/Subgames/Minetest_Game)
## Download
Can be obtained from https://codeberg.org/minenux/minetest-game-minetest/tags
those like 4.0.X by example https://codeberg.org/minenux/minetest-game-minetest/releases/tag/4.0.17
It will download a tar.gz file, uncompress the content and a directory will be created,
the name of the directory does not matter, the contents will be used later to install.
When stable releases are made, Minetest Game and the Minetest engine is packaged
and made available at https://codeberg.org/minenux/minetest-engine/archive/stable-4.0.tar.gz
or generally at https://codeberg.org/minenux/minetest-engine/releases/tag/4.0.17 by example.
## Installation
This game can be used in any version from 5.0 to 4.0, it may work with 5.3 but not with 5.5
After download, rename the directory decompressed to `minetest_game` and put to the "games" directory:
- GNU/Linux: If you use a system-wide installation place
it in ~/.minetest4/games/.
- Others: `minetest/games/` or `games` directory from the path were the binary are.

Bucket API
----------
The bucket API allows registering new types of buckets for non-default liquids.
bucket.register_liquid(
"default:lava_source", -- name of the source node
"default:lava_flowing", -- name of the flowing node
"bucket:bucket_lava", -- name of the new bucket item (or nil if liquid is not takeable)
"bucket_lava.png", -- texture of the new bucket item (ignored if itemname == nil)
"Lava Bucket", -- text description of the bucket item
{lava_bucket = 1}, -- groups of the bucket item, OPTIONAL
false -- force-renew, OPTIONAL. Force the liquid source to renew if it has
-- a source neighbour, even if defined as 'liquid_renewable = false'.
-- Needed to avoid creating holes in sloping rivers.
)
The filled bucket item is returned to the player that uses an empty bucket pointing to the given liquid source.
When punching with an empty bucket pointing to an entity or a non-liquid node, the on_punch of the entity or node will be triggered.
Beds API
--------
beds.register_bed(
"beds:bed", -- Bed name
def -- See [#Bed definition]
)
* `beds.read_spawns() ` Returns a table containing players respawn positions
* `beds.kick_players()` Forces all players to leave bed
* `beds.skip_night()` Sets world time to morning and saves respawn position of all players currently sleeping
### Bed definition
{
description = "Simple Bed",
inventory_image = "beds_bed.png",
wield_image = "beds_bed.png",
tiles = {
bottom = {'Tile definition'}, -- the tiles of the bottom part of the bed.
top = {Tile definition} -- the tiles of the bottom part of the bed.
},
nodebox = {
bottom = 'regular nodebox', -- bottom part of bed (see [Node boxes])
top = 'regular nodebox', -- top part of bed (see [Node boxes])
},
selectionbox = 'regular nodebox', -- for both nodeboxes (see [Node boxes])
recipe = { -- Craft recipe
{"group:wool", "group:wool", "group:wool"},
{"group:wood", "group:wood", "group:wood"}
}
}
Creative API
------------
Use `creative.register_tab(name, title, items)` to add a tab with filtered items.
For example,
creative.register_tab("tools", "Tools", minetest.registered_tools)
is used to show all tools. Name is used in the sfinv page name, title is the
human readable title.
`is_enabled_for` is used to check whether a player is in creative mode:
creative.is_enabled_for(name)
Override this to allow per-player game modes.
The contents of `creative.formspec_add` is appended to every creative inventory
page. Mods can use it to add additional formspec elements onto the default
creative inventory formspec to be drawn after each update.
Doors API
---------
The doors mod allows modders to register custom doors and trapdoors.
`doors.register_door(name, def)`
* Registers new door
* `name` Name for door
* `def` See [#Door definition]
`doors.register_trapdoor(name, def)`
* Registers new trapdoor
* `name` Name for trapdoor
* `def` See [#Trapdoor definition]
`doors.register_fencegate(name, def)`
* Registers new fence gate
* `name` Name for fence gate
* `def` See [#Fence gate definition]
`doors.get(pos)`
* `pos` A position as a table, e.g `{x = 1, y = 1, z = 1}`
* Returns an ObjectRef to a door, or nil if the position does not contain a door
### Methods
:open(player) -- Open the door object, returns if door was opened
:close(player) -- Close the door object, returns if door was closed
:toggle(player) -- Toggle the door state, returns if state was toggled
:state() -- returns the door state, true = open, false = closed
the "player" parameter can be omitted in all methods. If passed then
the usual permission checks will be performed to make sure the player
has the permissions needed to open this door. If omitted then no
permission checks are performed.
### Door definition
description = "Door description",
inventory_image = "mod_door_inv.png",
groups = {choppy = 2},
tiles = {"mod_door.png"}, -- UV map.
recipe = craftrecipe,
sounds = default.node_sound_wood_defaults(), -- optional
sound_open = sound play for open door, -- optional
sound_close = sound play for close door, -- optional
protected = false, -- If true, only placer can open the door (locked for others)
### Trapdoor definition
description = "Trapdoor description",
inventory_image = "mod_trapdoor_inv.png",
groups = {choppy = 2},
tile_front = "doors_trapdoor.png", -- the texture for the front and back of the trapdoor
tile_side = "doors_trapdoor_side.png", -- the tiles of the four side parts of the trapdoor
sounds = default.node_sound_wood_defaults(), -- optional
sound_open = sound play for open door, -- optional
sound_close = sound play for close door, -- optional
protected = false, -- If true, only placer can open the door (locked for others)
### Fence gate definition
description = "Wooden Fence Gate",
texture = "default_wood.png", -- `backface_culling` will automatically be
-- set to `true` if not specified.
material = "default:wood",
groups = {choppy = 2, oddly_breakable_by_hand = 2, flammable = 2},
sounds = default.node_sound_wood_defaults(), -- optional
Fence API
---------
Allows creation of new fences with "fencelike" drawtype.
`default.register_fence(name, item definition)`
Registers a new fence. Custom fields texture and material are required, as
are name and description. The rest is optional. You can pass most normal
nodedef fields here except drawtype. The fence group will always be added
for this node.
### fence definition
name = "default:fence_wood",
description = "Wooden Fence",
texture = "default_wood.png",
material = "default:wood",
groups = {choppy = 2, oddly_breakable_by_hand = 2, flammable = 2},
sounds = default.node_sound_wood_defaults(),
Walls API
---------
The walls API allows easy addition of stone auto-connecting wall nodes.
walls.register(name, desc, texture, mat, sounds)
^ name = "walls:stone_wall". Node name.
^ desc = "A Stone wall"
^ texture = "default_stone.png"

description = "", -- Description for tooltip
inventory_image = "unknown_item.png", -- Image to be used as wield- and inventory image
max_uses = 30, -- Uses until destroyed
material = "", -- Material for recipes
recipe = { -- Craft recipe, if material isn't used
{"air", "air", "air"},
{"", "group:stick"},
{"", "group:stick"},
}
}
### Plant definition
{
description = "", -- Description of seed item
inventory_image = "unknown_item.png", -- Image to be used as seed's wield- and inventory image
steps = 8, -- How many steps the plant has to grow, until it can be harvested
-- ^ Always provide a plant texture for each step, format: modname_plantname_i.png (i = stepnumber)
minlight = 13, -- Minimum light to grow
maxlight = default.LIGHT_MAX -- Maximum light to grow
}
Fire API
--------
New node def property:
`on_burn(pos)`
* Called when fire attempts to remove a burning node.
* `pos` Position of the burning node.
`on_ignite(pos, igniter)`
* Called when Flint and steel (or a mod defined ignitor) is used on a node.
Defining it may prevent the default action (spawning flames) from triggering.
* `pos` Position of the ignited node.
* `igniter` Player that used the tool, when available.
Give Initial Stuff API
----------------------
`give_initial_stuff.give(player)`
^ Give initial stuff to "player"
`give_initial_stuff.add(stack)`
^ Add item to the initial stuff
^ Stack can be an ItemStack or a item name eg: "default:dirt 99"
^ Can be called after the game has loaded
`give_initial_stuff.clear()`
^ Removes all items from the initial stuff
^ Can be called after the game has loaded
`give_initial_stuff.get_list()`
^ returns list of item stacks
`give_initial_stuff.set_list(list)`
^ List of initial items with numeric indices.
`give_initial_stuff.add_from_csv(str)`
^ str is a comma separated list of initial stuff
^ Adds items to the list of items to be given
TNT API
----------
`tnt.register_tnt(definition)`
^ Register a new type of tnt.
* `name` The name of the node. If no prefix is given `tnt` is used.
* `description` A description for your TNT.
* `radius` The radius within which the TNT can destroy nodes. The default is 3.
* `damage_radius` The radius within which the TNT can damage players and mobs. By default it is twice the `radius`.
* `disable_drops` Disable drops. By default it is set to false.
* `ignore_protection` Don't check `minetest.is_protected` before removing a node.
* `ignore_on_blast` Don't call `on_blast` even if a node has one.
* `tiles` Textures for node
* `side` Side tiles. By default the name of the tnt with a suffix of `_side.png`.
* `top` Top tile. By default the name of the tnt with a suffix of `_top.png`.
* `bottom` Bottom tile. By default the name of the tnt with a suffix of `_bottom.png`.
* `burning` Top tile when lit. By default the name of the tnt with a suffix of `_top_burning_animated.png`.
`tnt.boom(position[, definition])`
^ Create an explosion.
* `position` The center of explosion.
* `definition` The TNT definion as passed to `tnt.register` with the following addition:
* `explode_center` false by default which removes TNT node on blast, when true will explode center node.
`tnt.burn(position, [nodename])`
^ Ignite node at position, triggering its `on_ignite` callback (see fire mod).
If no such callback exists, fallback to turn tnt group nodes to their
"_burning" variant.
nodename isn't required unless already known.
To make dropping items from node inventories easier, you can use the
following helper function from 'default':
default.get_inventory_drops(pos, inventory, drops)
^ Return drops from node inventory "inventory" in drops.
* `pos` - the node position
* `inventory` - the name of the inventory (string)
* `drops` - an initialized list
The function returns no values. The drops are returned in the `drops`
parameter, and drops is not reinitialized so you can call it several
times in a row to add more inventory items to it.
`on_blast` callbacks:
Both nodedefs and entitydefs can provide an `on_blast()` callback
`nodedef.on_blast(pos, intensity)`
^ Allow drop and node removal overriding
* `pos` - node position
* `intensity` - TNT explosion measure. larger or equal to 1.0
^ Should return a list of drops (e.g. {"default:stone"})
^ Should perform node removal itself. If callback exists in the nodedef
^ then the TNT code will not destroy this node.
`entitydef.on_blast(luaobj, damage)`
^ Allow TNT effects on entities to be overridden
* `luaobj` - LuaEntityRef of the entity
* `damage` - suggested HP damage value
^ Should return a list of (bool do_damage, bool do_knockback, table drops)
* `do_damage` - if true then TNT mod wil damage the entity
* `do_knockback` - if true then TNT mod will knock the entity away
* `drops` - a list of drops, e.g. {"wool:red"}
Screwdriver API
---------------
The screwdriver API allows you to control a node's behaviour when a screwdriver is used on it.
To use it, add the `on_screwdriver` function to the node definition.
`on_rotate(pos, node, user, mode, new_param2)`
* `pos` Position of the node that the screwdriver is being used on
* `node` that node
* `user` The player who used the screwdriver
* `mode` screwdriver.ROTATE_FACE or screwdriver.ROTATE_AXIS
* `new_param2` the new value of param2 that would have been set if on_rotate wasn't there
* return value: false to disallow rotation, nil to keep default behaviour, true to allow
it but to indicate that changed have already been made (so the screwdriver will wear out)
* use `on_rotate = false` to always disallow rotation
* use `on_rotate = screwdriver.rotate_simple` to allow only face rotation
Sethome API
-----------
The sethome API adds three global functions to allow mods to read a players home position,
set a players home position and teleport a player to home position.
`sethome.get(name)`
* `name` Player who's home position you wish to get
* return value: false if no player home coords exist, position table if true
`sethome.set(name, pos)`
* `name` Player who's home position you wish to set
* `pos` Position table containing coords of home position
* return value: false if unable to set and save new home position, otherwise true
`sethome.go(name)`
* `name` Player you wish to teleport to their home position
* return value: false if player cannot be sent home, otherwise true
Sfinv API
---------
### sfinv Methods
**Pages**
* sfinv.set_page(player, pagename) - changes the page
* sfinv.get_homepage_name(player) - get the page name of the first page to show to a player
* sfinv.register_page(name, def) - register a page, see section below
* sfinv.override_page(name, def) - overrides fields of an page registered with register_page.
* Note: Page must already be defined, (opt)depend on the mod defining it.
* sfinv.set_player_inventory_formspec(player) - (re)builds page formspec
and calls set_inventory_formspec().
* sfinv.get_formspec(player, context) - builds current page's formspec
**Contexts**
* sfinv.get_or_create_context(player) - gets the player's context
* sfinv.set_context(player, context)
**Theming**
* sfinv.make_formspec(player, context, content, show_inv, size) - adds a theme to a formspec
* show_inv, defaults to false. Whether to show the player's main inventory
* size, defaults to `size[8,8.6]` if not specified
* sfinv.get_nav_fs(player, context, nav, current_idx) - creates tabheader or ""
### sfinv Members
* pages - table of pages[pagename] = def
* pages_unordered - array table of pages in order of addition (used to build navigation tabs).
* contexts - contexts[playername] = player_context
* enabled - set to false to disable. Good for inventory rehaul mods like unified inventory
### Context
A table with these keys:
* page - current page name
* nav - a list of page names
* nav_titles - a list of page titles
* nav_idx - current nav index (in nav and nav_titles)
* any thing you want to store
* sfinv will clear the stored data on log out / log in
### sfinv.register_page
sfinv.register_page(name, def)
def is a table containing:
* `title` - human readable page name (required)
* `get(self, player, context)` - returns a formspec string. See formspec variables. (required)
* `is_in_nav(self, player, context)` - return true to show in the navigation (the tab header, by default)
* `on_player_receive_fields(self, player, context, fields)` - on formspec submit.
* `on_enter(self, player, context)` - called when the player changes pages, usually using the tabs.
* `on_leave(self, player, context)` - when leaving this page to go to another, called before other's on_enter
### get formspec
Use sfinv.make_formspec to apply a layout:
return sfinv.make_formspec(player, context, [[
list[current_player;craft;1.75,0.5;3,3;]
list[current_player;craftpreview;5.75,1.5;1,1;]
image[4.75,1.5;1,1;gui_furnace_arrow_bg.png^[transformR270]
listring[current_player;main]
listring[current_player;craft]
image[0,4.25;1,1;gui_hb_bg.png]
image[1,4.25;1,1;gui_hb_bg.png]
image[2,4.25;1,1;gui_hb_bg.png]
image[3,4.25;1,1;gui_hb_bg.png]
image[4,4.25;1,1;gui_hb_bg.png]
image[5,4.25;1,1;gui_hb_bg.png]
image[6,4.25;1,1;gui_hb_bg.png]
image[7,4.25;1,1;gui_hb_bg.png]
]], true)
See above (methods section) for more options.
### Customising themes
Simply override this function to change the navigation:
function sfinv.get_nav_fs(player, context, nav, current_idx)
return "navformspec"
end
And override this function to change the layout:
function sfinv.make_formspec(player, context, content, show_inv, size)
local tmp = {
size or "size[8,8.6]",
theme_main,
sfinv.get_nav_fs(player, context, context.nav_titles, context.nav_idx),
content
}
if show_inv then
tmp[4] = theme_inv
end
return table.concat(tmp, "")
end
Stairs API
----------
The stairs API lets you register stairs and slabs and ensures that they are registered the same way as those
delivered with Minetest Game, to keep them compatible with other mods.
`stairs.register_stair(subname, recipeitem, groups, images, description, sounds)`
* Registers a stair.
* `subname`: Basically the material name (e.g. cobble) used for the stair name. Nodename pattern: "stairs:stair_subname"
* `recipeitem`: Item used in the craft recipe, e.g. "default:cobble", may be `nil`
* `groups`: see [Known damage and digging time defining groups]
* `images`: see [Tile definition]
* `description`: used for the description field in the stair's definition
* `sounds`: see [#Default sounds]
`stairs.register_slab(subname, recipeitem, groups, images, description, sounds)`
* Registers a slabs
* `subname`: Basically the material name (e.g. cobble) used for the stair name. Nodename pattern: "stairs:stair_subname"
* `recipeitem`: Item used in the craft recipe, e.g. "default:cobble"
* `groups`: see [Known damage and digging time defining groups]
* `images`: see [Tile definition]
* `description`: used for the description field in the stair's definition
* `sounds`: see [#Default sounds]
`stairs.register_stair_and_slab(subname, recipeitem, groups, images, desc_stair, desc_slab, sounds)`
* A wrapper for stairs.register_stair and stairs.register_slab
* Uses almost the same arguments as stairs.register_stair
* `desc_stair`: Description for stair node
* `desc_slab`: Description for slab node
Xpanes API
----------
Creates panes that automatically connect to each other
`xpanes.register_pane(subname, def)`
* `subname`: used for nodename. Result: "xpanes:subname" and "xpanes:subname_{2..15}"
* `def`: See [#Pane definition]
### Pane definition
{
textures = {"texture for sides", (unused), "texture for top and bottom"}, -- More tiles aren't supported
groups = {group = rating}, -- Uses the known node groups, see [Known damage and digging time defining groups]
sounds = SoundSpec, -- See [#Default sounds]
recipe = {{"","","","","","","","",""}}, -- Recipe field only
}
Raillike definitions
--------------------
The following nodes use the group `connect_to_raillike` and will only connect to
raillike nodes within this group and the same group value.
Use `minetest.raillike_group(<Name>)` to get the group value.
| Node type | Raillike group name
|-----------------------|---------------------
| default:rail | "rail"
| tnt:gunpowder | "gunpowder"
| tnt:gunpowder_burning | "gunpowder"
Example:
If you want to add a new rail type and want it to connect with default:rail,
add `connect_to_raillike=minetest.raillike_group("rail")` into the `groups` table
of your node.
Default sounds
--------------
Sounds inside the default table can be used within the sounds field of node definitions.
* `default.node_sound_defaults()`
* `default.node_sound_stone_defaults()`
* `default.node_sound_dirt_defaults()`
* `default.node_sound_sand_defaults()`
* `default.node_sound_wood_defaults()`
* `default.node_sound_leaves_defaults()`
* `default.node_sound_glass_defaults()`
* `default.node_sound_metal_defaults()`
Default constants
-----------------
`default.LIGHT_MAX` The maximum light level (see [Node definition] light_source)
Player API
----------
The player API can register player models and update the player's appearence
`default.player_register_model(name, def)`
* Register a new model to be used by players.
* name: model filename such as "character.x", "foo.b3d", etc.
* def: See [#Model definition]
`default.registered_player_models[name]`
* Get a model's definition
* see [#Model definition]
`default.player_set_model(player, model_name)`
* Change a player's model
* `player`: PlayerRef
* `model_name`: model registered with player_register_model()
`default.player_set_animation(player, anim_name [, speed])`
* Applies an animation to a player
* anim_name: name of the animation.
* speed: frames per second. If nil, default from the model is used
`default.player_set_textures(player, textures)`
* Sets player textures
* `player`: PlayerRef
* `textures`: array of textures, If `textures` is nil, the default textures from the model def are used
default.player_get_animation(player)
* Returns a table containing fields `model`, `textures` and `animation`.
* Any of the fields of the returned table may be nil.
* player: PlayerRef
### Model Definition
{
animation_speed = 30, -- Default animation speed, in FPS.
textures = {"character.png", }, -- Default array of textures.
visual_size = {x = 1, y = 1}, -- Used to scale the model.
animations = {
-- <anim_name> = {x = <start_frame>, y = <end_frame>},
foo = {x = 0, y = 19},
bar = {x = 20, y = 39},
-- ...
},
eye_height = 1.47, -- In nodes above feet position
}
Leafdecay
---------
To enable leaf decay for leaves when a tree is cut down by a player,
register the tree with the default.register_leafdecay(leafdecaydef)
function.
If `param2` of any registered node is ~= 0, the node will always be
preserved. Thus, if the player places a node of that kind, you will
want to set `param2 = 1` or so.
The function `default.after_place_leaves` can be set as
`after_place_node of a node` to set param2 to 1 if the player places
the node (should not be used for nodes that use param2 otherwise
(e.g. facedir)).
If the node is in the `leafdecay_drop` group then it will always be
dropped as an item.
`default.register_leafdecay(leafdecaydef)`
`leafdecaydef` is a table, with following members:
{
trunks = {"default:tree"}, -- nodes considered trunks
leaves = {"default:leaves", "default:apple"},
-- nodes considered for removal
radius = 3, -- radius to consider for searching
}
Note: all the listed nodes in `trunks` have their `on_after_destruct`
callback overridden. All the nodes listed in `leaves` have their
`on_timer` callback overridden.
Dyes
----
To make recipes that will work with any dye ever made by anybody, define
them based on groups. You can select any group of groups, based on your need for
amount of colors.
### Color groups
Base color groups:
* `basecolor_white`
* `basecolor_grey`
* `basecolor_black`
* `basecolor_red`
* `basecolor_yellow`
* `basecolor_green`
* `basecolor_cyan`
* `basecolor_blue`
* `basecolor_magenta`
Extended color groups ( * means also base color )
* `excolor_white` *
* `excolor_lightgrey`
* `excolor_grey` *
* `excolor_darkgrey`
* `excolor_black` *
* `excolor_red` *
* `excolor_orange`
* `excolor_yellow` *
* `excolor_lime`
* `excolor_green` *
* `excolor_aqua`
* `excolor_cyan` *
* `excolor_sky_blue`
* `excolor_blue` *
* `excolor_violet`
* `excolor_magenta` *
* `excolor_red_violet`
The whole unifieddyes palette as groups:
* `unicolor_<excolor>`
For the following, no white/grey/black is allowed:
* `unicolor_medium_<excolor>`
* `unicolor_dark_<excolor>`
* `unicolor_light_<excolor>`
* `unicolor_<excolor>_s50`
* `unicolor_medium_<excolor>_s50`
* `unicolor_dark_<excolor>_s50`
Example of one shapeless recipe using a color group:
minetest.register_craft({
type = "shapeless",
output = '<mod>:item_yellow',
recipe = {'<mod>:item_no_color', 'group:basecolor_yellow'},
})
### Color lists
* `dye.basecolors` are an array containing the names of available base colors
* `dye.excolors` are an array containing the names of the available extended colors
Trees
-----
* `default.grow_tree(pos, is_apple_tree)`
* Grows a mgv6 tree or apple tree at pos
* `default.grow_jungle_tree(pos)`
* Grows a mgv6 jungletree at pos
* `default.grow_pine_tree(pos)`
* Grows a mgv6 pinetree at pos
* `default.grow_new_apple_tree(pos)`
* Grows a new design apple tree at pos
* `default.grow_new_jungle_tree(pos)`
* Grows a new design jungle tree at pos
* `default.grow_new_pine_tree(pos)`
* Grows a new design pine tree at pos
* `default.grow_new_snowy_pine_tree(pos)`
* Grows a new design snowy pine tree at pos
* `default.grow_new_acacia_tree(pos)`
* Grows a new design acacia tree at pos
* `default.grow_new_aspen_tree(pos)`
* Grows a new design aspen tree at pos
* `default.grow_bush(pos)`
* Grows a bush at pos
* `default.grow_acacia_bush(pos)`
* Grows an acaia bush at pos
Carts
-----
carts.register_rail(
"mycarts:myrail", -- Rail name
nodedef, -- standard nodedef
railparams -- rail parameter struct (optional)
)
railparams = {
on_step(obj, dtime), -- Event handler called when
-- cart is on rail
acceleration, -- integer acceleration factor (negative
-- values to brake)
}
The event handler is called after all default calculations
are made, so the custom on_step handler can override things
like speed, acceleration, player attachment. The handler will
likely be called many times per second, so the function needs
to make sure that the event is handled properly.
Key API
-------
The key API allows mods to add key functionality to nodes that have
ownership or specific permissions. Using the API will make it so
that a node owner can use skeleton keys on their nodes to create keys
for that node in that location, and give that key to other players,
allowing them some sort of access that they otherwise would not have
due to node protection.
To make your new nodes work with the key API, you need to register
two callback functions in each nodedef:
`on_key_use(pos, player)`
* Is called when a player right-clicks (uses) a normal key on your
* node.
* `pos` - position of the node
* `player` - PlayerRef
* return value: none, ignored
The `on_key_use` callback should validate that the player is wielding
a key item with the right key meta secret. If needed the code should
deny access to the node functionality.
If formspecs are used, the formspec callbacks should duplicate these
checks in the metadata callback functions.
`on_skeleton_key_use(pos, player, newsecret)`
* Is called when a player right-clicks (uses) a skeleton key on your
* node.
* `pos` - position of the node
* `player` - PlayerRef
* `newsecret` - a secret value(string)
* return values:
* `secret` - `nil` or the secret value that unlocks the door
* `name` - a string description of the node ("a locked chest")
* `owner` - name of the node owner
The `on_skeleton_key_use` function should validate that the player has
the right permissions to make a new key for the item. The newsecret
value is useful if the node has no secret value. The function should
store this secret value somewhere so that in the future it may compare
key secrets and match them to allow access. If a node already has a
secret value, the function should return that secret value instead
of the newsecret value. The secret value stored for the node should
not be overwritten, as this would invalidate existing keys.
Aside from the secret value, the function should retun a descriptive
name for the node and the owner name. The return values are all
encoded in the key that will be given to the player in replacement
for the wielded skeleton key.
if `nil` is returned, it is assumed that the wielder did not have
permissions to create a key for this node, and no key is created.
