+# Bone meal API
+Bonemealing callbacks and particle functions.
+
+
+## _on_bone_meal(itemstack, placer, pointed_thing)
+The bone meal API provides a callback definition that nodes can use to
+register a handler that is executed when a bone meal item is used on it.
+
+Nodes that wish to use the bone meal API should in their node registration
+define a callback handler named `_on_bone_meal`.
+
+Note that by registering the callback handler, the node declares that bone
+meal can be used on it and as a result, when the user is not in creative
+mode, the used bone meal is spent and taken from the itemstack passed to
+the `on_place()` handler of the bone meal item used regardless of whether
+the bone meal had an effect on the node and regardless of the result of
+the callback handler.
+
+It is for all intents and purposes up to the callback defined in the node to
+decide how to handle the specific effect that bone meal has on that node.
+
+The `_on_bone_meal` callback handler is a
+
+  `function(itemstack, placer, pointed_thing)`
+
+Its arguments are:
+* `itemstack`: the stack of bonem eal being applied
+* `placer`: ObjectRef of the player who aplied the bone meal, can be nil!
+* `pointed_thing`: exact pointing location (see Minetest API), where the
+	bone meal is applied
+
+The return value of the handler function indicates if the bonemealing had
+its intended effect.  If `true`, 'bone meal particles' are spawned at the
+position of the bonemealed node.
+
+The `on_place` code in the bone meal item will spawn bone meal particles and
+decrease the bone meal itemstack if the handler returned `true` and the
+`placer` is not in creative mode.
+
+
+## mcl_bone_meal.add_bone_meal_particle(pos, def)
+Spawns standard or custom bone meal particles.
+* `pos`: position, is ignored if you define def.minpos and def.maxpos
+* `def`: (optional) particle definition; see minetest.add_particlespawner()
+	for more details.
+
+## mcl_bone_meal.use_bone_meal(itemstack, placer, pointed_thing)
+For use in on_rightclick handlers that need support bone meal processing in addition
+to other behaviors. Before calling, verify that the player is wielding bone meal.
+* `itemstack`: The stack of bone meal being used
+* `placer`: ObjectRef of the player who aplied the bone meal, can be nil!
+* `pointed_thing`: exact pointing location (see Minetest API), where the
+	bone meal is applied
+
+Returns itemstack with one bone meal consumed if not in creative mode.
+
+# Legacy API
+The bone meal API also provides a legacy compatibility function.  This
+function is not meant to be continued and callers should migrate to the
+newer bonemealing API.
+
+## mcl_bone_meal.register_on_bone_meal_apply(function(pointed_thing, placer))
+Called when the bone meal is applied anywhere.
+* `pointed_thing`: exact pointing location (see Minetest API), where the
+	bone meal is applied
+* `placer`: ObjectRef of the player who aplied the bone meal, can be nil!
+This function is deprecated and will be removed at some time in the future.
+Bone meal is not consumed unless the provided function returns true.
+
+## mcl_dye.add_bone_meal_particle(pos, def)
+## mcl_dye.register_on_bone_meal_apply(function(pointed_thing, user))
+These shims in mcl_dye that point to corresponding legacy compatibility
+functions in mcl_bone_meal remain for legacy callers that have not yet been
+updated to the new API.  These shims will be removed at some time in the
+future.
