FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hi everyone,

I'm news in minetest and I try to understand how mobs mods work. I saw that in minetest.conf we can set only_peaceful_mobs to have only peaceful mobs or not. I looked into the C++ code and found that if it's true, the program calls isPeaceful on every ServerActiveObject. I found that isPeaceful always return true. Is there a way to override this method in lua script (every mob may override this method) ?

Don't look into the C++ code to work out how they work, mobs mods are free standing. isPeacefull will be an outdated piece of code.

So if I understand correctly, every mobs mods needs to treat "only_peaceful_mobs" themselves (like in simple mobs for example).
