unified_inventory API
=====================
This file provides information about the API of unified_inventory.
API revisions within unified_inventory can be checked using:
(unified_inventory.version or 1)
**Revision history**
* Version `1`: Classic formspec layout (no real_coordinates)
* Version `2`: Force formspec version 4 (includes real_coordinates)
Misc functions
--------------
Grouped by use-case, afterwards sorted alphabetically.
* `unified_inventory.is_creative(name)`
* Checks whether creative is enabled or the player has `creative`
Callbacks
---------
Register a callback that will be run whenever a craft is registered via unified_inventory.register_craft:
unified_inventory.register_on_craft_registered(
function (item_name, options)
-- item_name (string): name of the output item, equivalent to `ItemStack:get_name()`
-- options (table): definition table of crafts registered by `unified_inventory.register_craft`
end
)
Register a callback that will be run after all mods have loaded and after the unified_inventory mod has initialised all its internal structures:
unified_inventory.register_on_initialized(callback)
-- The callback is passed no arguments
Accessing Data
--------------
These methods should be used instead of accessing the unified_inventory data structures directly - this will ensure your code survives any potential restructuring of the mod.
Get a list of recipes for a particular output item:
unified_inventory.get_recipe_list(output_item)
Returns a list of tables, each holding a recipe definition, like:
{
{
type = "normal",
items = { "default:stick", "default:stick", "default:stick", "default:stick" },
output = "default:wood",
width = 2
},
{
type = "shapeless",
items = { "default:tree" },
output = "default:wood 4",
width = 0
},
...
}
Get a list of all the output items crafts have been registered for:
unified_inventory.get_registered_outputs()
Returns a list of item names, like:
{
"default:stone",
"default:chest",
"default:brick",
"doors:door_wood",
...
}
Pages
-----
Register a new page: The callback inside this function is called on user input.
unified_inventory.register_page("pagename", {
get_formspec = function(player)
-- ^ `player` is an `ObjectRef`
-- Compute the formspec string here
return {
formspec = "button[2,2;2,1;mybutton;Press me]",
-- ^ Final form of the formspec to display
draw_inventory = false, -- default `true`
-- ^ Optional. Hides the player's `main` inventory list
draw_item_list = false, -- default `true`
-- ^ Optional. Hides the item list on the right side
formspec_prepend = false, -- default `false`
-- ^ Optional. When `false`: Disables the formspec prepend
}
end,
})
Buttons
-------
Register a new button for the bottom row:
unified_inventory.register_button("skins", {
type = "image",
image = "skins_skin_button.png",
tooltip = "Skins",
hide_lite = true
-- ^ Button is hidden when following two conditions are met:
-- Configuration line `unified_inventory_lite = true`
-- Player does not have the privilege `ui_full`
})
Crafting
--------
The code blocks below document each possible parameter using exemplary values.
Provide information to display custom craft types:
unified_inventory.register_craft_type("mytype", {
-- ^ Unique identifier for `register_craft`
description = "Sample Craft",
-- ^ Text shown below the crafting arrow
icon = "dummy.png",
-- ^ Image shown above the crafting arrow
width = 3,
height = 3,
-- ^ Maximal input dimensions of the recipes
dynamic_display_size = function(craft)
-- ^ `craft` is the definition from `register_craft`
return {
width = 2,
height = 3
}
end,
-- ^ Optional callback to change the displayed recipe size
uses_crafting_grid = true,
})
Register a non-standard craft recipe:
unified_inventory.register_craft({
output = "default:foobar",
type = "mytype",
-- ^ Standard craft type or custom (see `register_craft_type`)
items = {
{ "default:foo" },
{ "default:bar" }
},
width = 3,
-- ^ Same as `minetest.register_recipe`
})
Categories
----------
Register a new category:
The config table (second argument) is optional, and all its members are optional
See the unified_inventory.set_category_* functions for more details on the members of the config table
unified_inventory.register_category("category_name", {
symbol = "mod_name:item_name" or "texture.png",
label = "Human Readable Label",
index = 5,
items = {
"mod_name:item_name",
"another_mod:different_item"
}
})
Add / override the symbol for a category:
The category does not need to exist first
The symbol can be an item name or a texture image
If unset this will default to "default:stick"
unified_inventory.set_category_symbol("category_name", "mod_name:item_name" or "texture.png")
Add / override the human readable label for a category:
If unset this will default to the category name
unified_inventory.set_category_label("category_name", "Human Readable Label")
Add / override the sorting index of the category:
Must be a number, can also be negative (-5) or fractional (2.345)
This determines the position the category appears in the list of categories
The "all" meta-category has index -2, the "misc"/"uncategorized" meta-category has index -1, use a negative number smaller than these to make a category appear before these in the list
By default categories are sorted alphabetically with an index between 0.0101(AA) and 0.2626(ZZ)
unified_inventory.set_category_index("category_name", 5)
Add a single item to a category:
unified_inventory.add_category_item("category_name", "mod_name:item_name")
Add multiple items to a category:
unified_inventory.add_category_items("category_name", {
"mod_name:item_name",
"another_mod:different_item"
})
Remove an item from a category:
unified_inventory.remove_category_item("category_name", "mod_name:item_name")
Remove a category entirely:
unified_inventory.remove_category("category_name")
Finding existing items in categories:
This will find the first category an item exists in
It should be used for checking if an item is catgorised
Returns "category_name" or nil
unified_inventory.find_category("mod_name:item_name")
This will find all the categories an item exists in
Returns a number indexed table (list) of category names
unified_inventory.find_categories("mod_name:item_name")
