+### reason or PlayerHPChangeReason
+
+PlayerHPChangeReason table kind of, the minetest api is so crap that does not specified that has properties.. neither refers to the `PlayerHPChangeReason` object, the most important things here are:
+
+> **since** 5.0
+
+* `from` with values of
+    * `mod`
+    * `engine`
+* `type` values when specific hp actions, and also any of those will have additional fields from mods.
+    * `set_hp`: A mod or the engine called set_hp without giving a type - use this for custom damage types.
+    * `punch`: Was punched. reason.object will hold the puncher, or nil if none.
+    * `fall`: the player dies from a high fall or something forced
+    * `node_damage`: `damage_per_second` from a neighboring node. for older 5.2 use the position of player to get `node_pos`
+    * `drown`: **since 5.5**
+    * `respawn`:
+* `node`  **since 5.3** will hold the node name or nil if `type` is `node_damage`. 
+* `node_pos` **since 5.3** will hold the position of the node if `type` is `node_damage`.
+
+### register_on_dieplayer and register_on_player_hpchange
+
