||
description = "Stuff",
|
||
image = "speech_icon.png", -- Optional, add an image next to the tab description
|
||
slots = true, -- Optional, whether the inventory slots are shown or not. Disabled by default.
|
||
|
||
--
|
||
-- The functions below are all optional
|
||
--
|
||
|
||
-- Determine if the tab is visible by a player, return false to hide the tab
|
||
access = function(player, data)
|
||
local name = player:get_player_name()
|
||
return name == "singleplayer"
|
||
end,
|
||
|
||
-- Build the formspec
|
||
formspec = function(player, data, fs)

||
fields = function(player, data, fields)
|
||
if fields.mybutton then
|
||
-- Do things
|
||
end
|
||
|
||
-- To prevent a formspec update, return false.
|
||
-- Otherwise: no need to return anything, it's automatic.
|

### Recipes
|
||
|
||
Custom recipes are nonconventional crafts outside the main crafting grid.
|
||
They can be registered in-game dynamically and have a size beyond 3x3 items.
|
||
|
||
**Note:** the registration format differs from the default registration format in everything.
|
||
The width is automatically calculated depending where you place the commas.
|
||
|
||
Examples:
|
||
|
||
#### Registering a custom crafting type
|
||
|
||
```Lua
|
||
i4.register_craft_type("digging", {
|
||
description = "Digging",
|
||
icon = "default_tool_steelpick.png",
|
||
})
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Registering a custom crafting recipe
|
||
|
||
```Lua
|
||
i4.register_craft {
|
||
type = "digging",
|
||
result = "default:cobble 2",
|
||
items = {"default:stone"},
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```Lua
|
||
i4.register_craft {
|
||
result = "default:cobble 16",
|
||
items = {
|
||
"default:stone, default:stone, default:stone",
|
||
"default:stone, , default:stone",
|
||
"default:stone, default:stone, default:stone",
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Recipes can be registered in a Minecraft-like way:
|
||
|
||
```Lua
|
||
i4.register_craft {
|
||
grid = {
|
||
"X #",
|
||
" ## ",
|
||
"X#X#",
|
||
"X X",
|
||
},
|
||
key = {
|
||
['#'] = "default:wood",
|
||
['X'] = "default:glass",
|
||
},
|
||
result = "default:mese 3",
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Multiple recipes can also be registered at once:
|
||
|
||
```Lua
|
||
i4.register_craft {
|
||
{
|
||
result = "default:mese",
|
||
items = {
|
||
"default:mese_crystal, default:mese_crystal",
|
||
"default:mese_crystal, default:mese_crystal",
|
||
}
|
||
},
|
||
|
||
big = {
|
||
result = "default:mese 4",
|
||
items = {
|
||
"default:mese_crystal, default:mese_crystal",
|
||
"default:mese_crystal, default:mese_crystal",
|
||
"default:mese_crystal, default:mese_crystal",
|
||
"default:mese_crystal, default:mese_crystal",
|
||
}
|
||
},
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Recipes can be registered from a given URL containing a JSON file (HTTP support is required¹):
|
||
|
||
```Lua
|
||
i4.register_craft {
|
||
url = "https://notabug.org/jadedctrl/minetest_i4/src/master/i4/tests/test_online_recipe.json"
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
### Minitabs
|
||
|
||
Manage the tabs on the right panel of the inventory.
|
||
Allow to make a sensible list sorted by specific groups of items.
|
||
|
||
#### `i4.new_minitab(name, def)`
|
||
|
||
Add a new minitab (limited to 6).
|
||
|
||
- `name` is the tab name.
|
||
- `def` is the definition table.
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
|
||
```Lua
|
||
i4.new_minitab("test", {
|
||
description = "Test",
|
||
|
||
-- Whether this tab is visible or not. Optional.
|
||
access = function(player, data)
|
||
return player:get_player_name() == "singleplayer"
|
||
end,
|
||
|
||
-- Whether a specific item is shown in the list or not.
|
||
sorter = function(item, data)
|
||
return item:find"wood"
|
||
end
|
||
})
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- `player` is an `ObjectRef` to the user.
|
||
- `data` are the user data.
|
||
- `item` is an item name string.

|
||
|
||
### Recipe filters
|
||
|
||
Recipe filters can be used to filter the recipes shown to players. Progressive
|
||
mode is implemented as a recipe filter.
|
||
|
||
#### `i4.add_recipe_filter(name, function(recipes, player))`
|
||
|
||
Add a recipe filter with the given `name`. The filter function returns the
|
||
recipes to be displayed, given the available recipes and an `ObjectRef` to the
|
||
user. Each recipe is a table of the form returned by
|
||
`minetest.get_craft_recipe`.
|
||
|
||
Example function to hide recipes for items from a mod called "secretstuff":
|
||
|
||
```lua
|
||
i4.add_recipe_filter("Hide secretstuff", function(recipes)
|
||
local filtered = {}
|
||
for _, recipe in ipairs(recipes) do
|
||
if recipe.output:sub(1,12) ~= "secretstuff:" then
|
||
filtered[#filtered + 1] = recipe
|
||
end
|
||
end
|
||
|
||
return filtered
|
||
end)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### `i4.set_recipe_filter(name, function(recipe, player))`
|
||
|
||
Remove all recipe filters and add a new one.
|
||
|
||
#### `i4.recipe_filters`
|
||
|
||
A map of recipe filters, indexed by name.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Search filters
|
||
|
||
Search filters are used to perform specific searches from the search field.
|
||
The filters can be cumulated to perform a specific search.
|
||
They are used like so: `<optional_name> +<filter name>=<value1>,<value2>,<...>`
|
||
|
||
Example usages:
|
||
|
||
- `+groups=cracky,crumbly` -> search for groups `cracky` and `crumbly` in all items.
|
||
- `wood +groups=flammable` -> search for group `flammable` amongst items which contain
|
||
`wood` in their names.
|
||
|
||
Notes:
|
||
- If `optional_name` is omitted, the search filter will apply to all items, without pre-filtering.
|
||
- The `+groups` filter is currently implemented by default.
|
||
|
||
#### `i4.add_search_filter(name, function(item, values))`
|
||
|
||
Add a search filter.
|
||
The search function must return a boolean value (whether the given item should be listed or not).
|
||
|
||
- `name` is the filter name.
|
||
- `values` is a table of all possible values.
|
||
|
||
Example function sorting items by drawtype:
|
||
|
||
```lua
|
||
i4.add_search_filter("types", function(item, drawtypes)
|
||
local t = {}
|
||
|
||
for i, dt in ipairs(drawtypes) do
|
||
t[i] = (dt == "node" and reg_nodes[item] and 1) or
|
||
(dt == "item" and reg_craftitems[item] and 1) or
|
||
(dt == "tool" and reg_tools[item] and 1) or nil
|
||
end
|
||
|
||
return #t > 0
|
||
end)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### `i4.search_filters`
|
||
|
||
A map of search filters, indexed by name.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
### Sorting methods
|
||

||
Sorting methods are used to filter the player's main inventory.
|
||
|
||
#### `i4.add_sorting_method(name, def)`

||
|
||
Add a player inventory sorting method.
|
||

|
||
description = "Cool sorting method",
|
||
func = function(list, data)
|
||
-- `list`: inventory list
|
||
-- `data`: player data
|
||
|
||
table.sort(list)
|
||
|
||
-- A list must be returned
|
||
return list
|
||
end,

### Item list compression
|
||
|
||
`i4` can reduce the item list size by compressing a group of items.
|
||
|
||
#### `i4.compress(item, def)`

|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
|
||
```Lua
|
||
i4.compress("default:diamondblock", {
|
||
replace = "diamond",
