Mod inter-compatibility list - what mods should implement
Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2016 09:31This thread is intended to make all minetest mods better working together. It is thought of as a reference for mod developers on what to do to make his/her mod friend with others. This mainly includes:
- groups
- methods / procedures to call
Developers can look up in this thread what to do to make the mod compatible/better working with other mods.
If advising groups, tell the group name and when it should be set to what value. If advising method calls, tell when and how it should be or should not be called.
Moderators, please pin this post if you find it useful.

When you are writing mob spawning code for hostile mobs, include/adapt this code:
elevator:
- Set group not_blocking_elevators=1 when a node you defined may be inside an elevator shaft without blocking the elevator (regardless of 'walkable' state). Examples: signs, torches.
