Flowers Pots API?

I tried all the mods that include flower pot, but have all of the bugs. The flowers do not connect well, or if you press again on the pot, the flower overlaps. Unfortunately, the mods are limited, you need to write new APIs in the game engine that let you create new content easily, without becoming crazy. I have three days to study the API of the game engine, but some things can not find them in the other mods code. My question is the following, you can simplify the creation of decorative pot? I think that the decorative part is 80% of the Minetest gameplay! It is its best feature, so more decorative content, more creativity. Thank you all.

I began the realization of a my mod Decorative, to better understand the nodes.

pithy's flowerpot mod is how I would design it: make a multitextured model that allows a texture for the pot parts and a texture for the plant parts - this way you can easily create many nodes with 1 pot model and different plants. Because with the proper model generation you can specify separate "tiles", you can use the same pot texture and combine it with the stock flower textures to make nodes for each potted flower.

Seems like this is exactly what pithy did...
