Cart-Node interactions

As the cart moves thru the environment, it can interact with the surrounding blocks thru a number of handlers in the block definitions. All these handlers are defined as:

function(node_position, cart_luaentity, cart_direction, cart_position)

Arguments:

• node_position - position of the node the cart is interacting with
• cart_luaentity - The luaentity of the cart that is entering this block. Will be nil for minecarts moving thru unloaded blocks
• cart_direction - The direction the cart is moving
• cart_position - The location of the cart
• cart_data - Information about the cart. This will always be defined.

There are several variants of this handler:

• _mcl_minecarts_on_enter - The cart enters this block
• _mcl_minecarts_on_enter_below - The cart enters above this block
• _mcl_minecarts_on_enter_above - The cart enters below this block
• _mcl_minecarts_on_enter_side - The cart enters beside this block

Mods can also define global handlers that are called for every node. These handlers are defined as:

function(node_position, cart_luaentity, cart_direction, node_definition, cart_data)

Arguments:

• node_position - position of the node the cart is interacting with
• cart_luaentity - The luaentity of the cart that is entering this block. Will be nil for minecarts moving thru unloaded blocks
• cart_direction - The direction the cart is moving
• cart_position - The location of the cart
• cart_data - Information about the cart. This will always be defined.
• node_definition - The definition of the node at node_position

The available hooks are: _mcl_minecarts.on_enter - The cart enters this block _mcl_minecarts.on_enter_below - The cart enters above this block _mcl_minecarts.on_enter_above - The cart enters below this block _mcl_minecarts.on_enter_side - The cart enters beside this block

Only a single function can be installed in each of these handlers. Before installing, preserve the existing handler and call it from inside your handler if not nil.
