How can I remove a tool?

[burli]

Ok, another question. How can I remove a registered tool and its recipe?

[vitalie]

AFAIK, you can't.

See issue #2319

I was afraid of that. Thx

[vitalie]

Well, for items you can set an AMB to replace everything in sight with air, and for crafts you can redefine them to something else.

There should be some solution, but it doesn't work yet. Pulled the latest dev right now and compiled it

Simple!

Edit the tools.lua with notepad by adding:
--[[
In front of the code you want to remove
And
]]
After.

This is commenting out code so minetest wont register the tool.

Edit the tools.lua with notepad by adding:

I don't want to edit the files from minetest game. If you play other games they are also effected and if you make an update the tool is back. That's the wrong way

Not sure if this best way but you can try:
1. Create new mod (if you haven't yet) for overriding stuff
2. Include mods into depends.txt who you gonna modify (e.g. default)
3. Override desired tool by assigning it to nil for e.g. pick_wood

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.registered_items["default:pick_wood"] = nil

4. Hope that game still works down the road.

Right. With way which I suggested you will only hide from creative mod items menu (tool still be craftable).

Right. With way which I suggested you will only hide from creative mod items menu (tool still be craftable).

Currently the only "official" way to remove a tool is to redefine the recipe with an empty output.

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_craft({
   output = '',
   recipe = {
      {'group:wood', 'group:wood', 'group:wood'},
      {'', 'group:stick', ''},
      {'', 'group:stick', ''},
   }
})

If you want to hide it in creative inventory you can use

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.override_item("default:pick_wood", {
            groups = {not_in_creative_inventory = 1},
        })

That's all you can do right now if you don't want to delete it in tools.lua and crafting.lua, which in not recommended

Try this...

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(":default:sword_diamond", {})

It should not show up anywhere nor will it be craftable.
