FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hi,
I know that mods are executed when loading.
They can be registered for events with register_on_xxxx methods
They can be called in the main loop with register_globalstep()

Are there any other ways to call mods functions? I miss for example something like register_on_entity_move

There are ABMs, functions in node/item and entity definitions and overwritten functions like minetest.is_protected() where that function is called to check if the area is protected.

What else would you need? register_on_globalstep does it completely.
I think the Minetest IRC channel on freenode is something you should visit to get instant answers for your questions.

I forgot the ABMs, right. Entities also have methods like on_punch.

I want a list of existing method calls from the system. I don't have the time to wait for answers in IRC, sorry. Asking in the forum is the better way for me to ask questions.

I know that I can implement everything in Lua, but some functions would be better implemented in C++
