makes_footstep_sound: same is in minetest.register_entity()
follow item when held will cause mob to follow player
view_range the range in that the monster will see the playerand follow him
walk_chance chance of mob walking around
jump_chance chance of mob jumping around, set above to 0 for jumping mob only
walk_velocity the velocity when the monster is walking around
run_velocity the velocity when the monster is attacking a player
stepheight minimum node height mob can walk onto without jumping (default: 0.6)
jump can mob jump, true or false
jump_height height mob can jump, default is 6
fly can mob fly, true or false (used for swimming mobs also)
fly_in node name that mob flys inside, e.g "air", "default:water_source" for fish

min the minimum number of items
max the maximum number of items

water_damage the damage per second if the mob is in water
lava_damage the damage per second if the mob is in lava
light_damage the damage per second if the mob is in light
fall_damage will mob be hurt when falling from height
fall_speed speed mob falls (default: -10 and has to be lower than -2)
on_die a function that is called when the mob is killed
the parameters are (self, pos)
floats 1 to float in water, 0 to sink
on_rightclick its same as in minetest.register_entity()
attack_type the attack type of a monster ("dogfight", "shoot", "explode")

replace_with replace with what e.g. "air" or in chickens case "mobs:egg"
replace_rate how many seconds to wait until next check
replace_offset +/- value to check specific node to replace
The mob api also has some preset variables and functions that it will remember for each mob
self.gotten this is used for obtaining milk from cow and wool from sheep
self.horny when animal fed enough it is set to true and animal can breed with same animal
self.child used for when breeding animals have child, will use child_texture and be half size
self.owner string used to set owner of npc mobs, typically used for dogs
self.order set to "follow" or "stand" so that npc will follow owner or stand it's ground
on_die a function that is called when mob is killed
do_custom a custom function that is called every second while mob is active
mobs:register_spawn(name, nodes, max_light, min_light, chance, active_object_count, max_height)
mobs:space_specfic(name, nodes, neighbors, min_light, max_light, interval, chance, active_object_count, min_height, max_height)
These functions register a spawn algorithm for the mob. Without this function the call the mobs won't spawn.
name is the name of the animal/monster
nodes is a list of nodenames on that the animal/monster can spawn on top of
neighbors is a list of nodenames on that the animal/monster will spawn beside (default is {"air"} for mobs:register_spawn)

min_light is the minimum of light
interval is same as in register_abm() (default is 30 for mobs:register_spawn)
chance is same as in register_abm()
active_object_count mob is only spawned if active_object_count_wider of ABM is <= this
min_height is the maximum height the mob can spawn
max_height is the maximum height the mob can spawn
For each mob that spawns with this function is a field in mobs.spawning_mobs. It tells if the mob should spawn or not. Default is true. So other mods can only use the API of this mod by disabling the spawning of the default mobs in this mod.
mobs:register_arrow(name, definition)
This function registers a arrow for mobs with the attack type shoot.
name is the name of the arrow
definition is a table with the following values:

hit_player a function that is called when the arrow hits a player; this function should hurt the player

This function generates an explosion which removes nodes in a specific radius and replace them with fire or air. Protection nodes, obsidian and locked chests will not be destroyed although a normal chest will drop it's contents.
pos centre position of explosion
radius radius of explosion (typically set to 3)
fire should fire appear in explosion (1=yes, 0=no)
smoke should smoke appear in explosion (1=yes, 0=no)
sound sound played when mob explodes
mobs:capture_mob(self, clicker, chance_hand, chance_net, chance_lasso, force_take, replacewith)

clicker player information
chance_hand chance of capturing mob by hand (1 to 100) 0 to disable
chance_net chance of capturing mob using net (1 to 100) 0 to disable
