+minetest_game API
+======================
+GitHub Repo: https://github.com/BlockMen/minetest_game
+
+Introduction
+------------
+The minetest_game gamemode offers multiple new possibilities in addition to Minetest's built-in API, allowing you to
+add new plants to farming mod, buckets for new liquids, new stairs and custom panes.
+For information on the Minetest API, visit https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt
+Please note:
+ [XYZ] refers to a section the Minetest API
+ [#ABC] refers to a section in this document
+ ^ Explanation for line above
+
+Bucket API
+----------
+The bucket API allows registering new types of buckets for non-default liquids.
+
+ bucket.register_liquid(
+ "default:lava_source", -- Source node name
+ "default:lava_flowing", -- Flowing node name
+ "bucket:bucket_lava", -- Name to be used for bucket
+ "bucket_lava.png", -- Bucket texture (for wielditem and inventory_image)
+ "Lava Bucket" -- Bucket description
+ )
+
+Doors API
+---------
+The doors mod allows modders to register custom doors.
+
+ doors:register_door(name, def)
+ ^ Notice the ":" instaed of "."!
+ ^ name: "Door name"
+ ^ def: See [#Door definition]
+
+#Door definition
+----------------
+{
+ description = "Door description",
+ inventory_image = "mod_door_inv.png",
+ groups = {group = 1},
+ tiles_bottom: [Tile definition],
+ ^ the tiles of the bottom part of the door {front, side}
+ tiles_top: [Tile definition],
+ ^ the tiles of the bottom part of the door {front, side}
+ node_box_bottom = regular nodebox, see [Node boxes], OPTIONAL,
+ node_box_top = regular nodebox, see [Node boxes], OPTIONAL,
+ selection_box_bottom = regular nodebox, see [Node boxes], OPTIONAL,
+ selection_box_top = regular nodebox, see [Node boxes], OPTIONAL,
+ only_placer_can_open = true/false,
+ ^ If true, only placer can open the door (locked for others)
+}
+
+Farming API
+-----------
+The farming API allows you to easily register plants and hoes.
+
+farming.register_hoe(name, hoe definition)
+ -> Register a new hoe, see [#hoe definition]
+
+farming.register_plant(name, Plant definition)
+ -> Register a new growing plant, see [#Plant definition]
+
+#Hoe Definition
+---------------
+{
+ description = "", -- Description for tooltip
+ inventory_image = "unknown_item.png", -- Image to be used as wield- and inventory image
+ max_uses = 30, -- Uses until destroyed
+ recipe = { -- Craft recipe
+ {"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 ech step, format: modname_plantname_i.png (i = stepnumber)
+ minlight = 13, -- Minimum light to grow
+ maxlight = LIGHT_MAX -- Maximum light to grow
+}
+
+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"
+ -> 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_{1..16}"
+ -> def: See [#Pane definition]
+
+#Pane definition
+----------------
+{
+ textures = {"texture_Bottom_top", "texture_left_right", "texture_front_back"},
+ ^ 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
+ on_construct = function(pos)
+ update_pane(pos, "pane")
+ end,
+ ^ Required to handle rotation correctly
+}
+
+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()
+
+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, },
+ -- ...
+ },
+}
