[Solved]My mod does not work

[BBmine]

I banged out a mod for my Noob Academy server which enables leather and leather crafting. Here is the code:

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_craftitem("mobs:leather", {
   description = "Leather",
   inventory_image = "mobs_leather.png",
})
minetest.register_craft({
   output = "mobs:leather",
   recipe = {
      {"farming:string", "farming:string", "farming:string"},
      {"farming:string", "default:mese_crystal", "farming:string"},
      {"farming:string", "farming:string", "farming:string"},
   },
})

Here is the error it gives me:

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

When you define an item, its name needs to be in the form modname:item where modname is the name of the current mod. You are not in the mobs mod, so you cannot define an item called mobs:leather in that way.

Solution: Renaming the item name to be of the form modname:item.

Alternatively: If you are overriding an item, or you need to make the name mobs:leather, then use :mobs:leather in register_craftitem. Prepending a colon like that disabled the valid name check. (minetest.register_craftitem("mobs:leather", {}))

Thanks! It works now.
