I've been making my own mod for Minetest but I can't seem to get it to run. When I try to start the game, an error comes up saying:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: ModError: Failed to load and run C:\Users\Jonathan\Documents\My Games\Minetest 0.4.5\bin\..\mods\minetest\super_pickaxe\init.lua

And here is the code from the init.lua file:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: minetest.register_tool("super:pick", { description = "Super Pickaxe", inventory_image = "tool_superpick.png", tool_capabilities = { full_punch_interval = 1.0, max_drop_level=3, groupcaps={ cracky={times={[1]=2.0, [2]=1.0, [3]=0.5}, uses=500, maxlevel=3}, crumbly={times={[1]=2.0, [2]=1.0, [3]=0.5}, uses=500, maxlevel=3}, snappy={times={[1]=2.0, [2]=1.0, [3]=0.5}, uses=500, maxlevel=3} } }, }) minetest.register_craft({ output = 'super:pick', recipe = { {'default:mese', 'default:pick_mese', 'default:mese'}, {'', 'default:stick', ''}, {'', 'default:stick', ''} } }) if minetest.setting_get("log_mods") then minetest.log("action", "super_pickaxe loaded") end

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

At the end of the debug.txt should be something like

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: 18:25:55: ERROR[main]: ========== ERROR FROM LUA ===========

Can you post this section here?

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: 17:05:36: ERROR[main]: ...ames\Minetest 0.4.5\bin\..\builtin/misc_register.lua:62: Name super:pick does not follow naming conventions: "modname:" or ":" prefix required

This tells you that you have to name it "super_pickaxe:pick". Mods always have to prefix the modname.

Ah right ok I get it, thanks for your help :)

Also the proper section for this would be "Modding General".
