Makes crafting MUCH faster +- **Much** more informative item tooltips +- Sneak+Leftclick on crafting output crafts as many items as possible and immediately puts it into the player inventory + +## Workaround theoretically possible +For these features, a workaround (or hack ;-)) by using Lua is theoretically possible. But engine support would be clearly better, more performant, more reliable, etc. + +### Lua API +#### Nodes +- Change walking speed on block (soul sand) +- Change jumping height on block (soul sand), +- Change object movement speed *through* a block, but for non-liquids (for cobweb) +- Add `on_walk_over` event +- Set frequency in which players lose breath. 2 seconds are hardcoded in Minetest, in Minecraft it's 1 second +- Set damage frequency of `damage_per_second`. In Minecraft many things damage players every half-second rather than every second +- Possible to damage players directly when they are with the head inside. This allows to add Minecraft-like suffocation
