You can't register items in other mods.

If your mod is named "foo" you must use "foo:useful_pickaxe".

kaeza: if you prefix the destination modname with a colon, ":", you can do that anyway.

Mod "foo" can execute minetest.register_xxxxx(":bar:blah",...) to put the item into bar's namespace, and it'll work exactly like he wants.

Of course one should only use that if there's a *really* good reason for it. Else the new item belongs in foo's namespace instead.

This would probably make most sense.

But another way would be:

I know, but that's probably not what was intended here.
