FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Computer got messed up and I lost a bunch of stuff including mymod. I am trying to rewrite it and I get this:

Here is my code

Can you give us the logs of the error?

Aren't there more ERROR lines in your debug.txt?

Edit: do you have a file depends.txt in the folder of the mod you made?
If not make one and type default in it.

Edit1: change the ) of the register craftitems, on the first line, (circut and reciver) into {

>\mods\minetest\mymod\init.lua

Go on "games" folder.

create a new folder named "mygame"

Copy the "games/minimal" content into "mygame"

then put "mymod" folder into "mygame/mods"

Delete "mymod" into "mods/minetest"

Create a new world and selec "mygame" in the list.

You have now your working personal sandbox.

thank you. I actually have not made depends and will make your reccomendations now.

groups={level=1} --> you need to add or replace it with something like (examples) crumbly=1 , cracky=3, oddly_breakable_by_hand=1

See for some good examples the init.lua of celeron55-minetest-------/games/minetest_game/mods/default.
Explanation of those words: https://github.com/celeron55/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.txt
Groups in general line 381 and further.
Digtime of groups line 464 and further.

And about the error, you need to change the lay out of the 1st line of all your register craft items to:
minetest.register_craftitem("default:stick", {

Example:
minetest.register_craftitem{"mymod:circut"} --->
minetest.register_craftitem("mymod:circut",{

(The error pointed to line 31 in your init.lua file. The first error it meets. If you don't use a program using line numbers, you can try with the program you use to write lua to jump (under search) to line 31).

Good luck
