# Item Help [`doc_items`] (Version 1.2.0)
|
|
## Description
|
|
Automatically generated help texts of blocks, tools, weapons, crafting
|
|
items and other items.
|
|
|
|
The goal is to tell the player as much about basically almost all items as
|
|
possible, making it very convenient to look up simple things.
|
|
|
|
The ultimate goal of this mod is that eventually all relevant items have
|
|
a complete in-game documentation so no item leaves you confused.
|
|
|
|
This mod is useful to learn the hard facts about practically all items, like
|
|
how much damage weapon XYZ deals or whether you can dig that block.
|
|
This mod does *not* give you long explanations about how to use certain
|
|
nontrivial things, like the furnace from Minetest Game. This info might be
|
|
provided by other mods and insert it into the help.
|
|
|
|
This mod provides 3 new help categories (using the
|
|
Documentation System [`doc`]):
|
|
|
|
* Blocks (e.g. dirt, stone, wooden stair)
|
|
* Tools and weapons (e.g. wooden pickaxe, steel sword, screwdriver)
|
|
* Misc. items (e.g. dye, stick, flour)
|
|
|
|
Entries are automatically added. The information in the entries is
|
|
mostly automatically generated. It contains information about a wide range
|
|
of topics:
|
|
|
|
* Blocks
|
|
* Physics
|
|
* Digging properties
|
|
* Drops (including probabilities)
|
|
* Liquid information
|
|
* Pointability
|
|
* Luminance
|
|
* Much more
|
|
* Tools and weapons
|
|
* Mining capabilities
|
|
* Damage
|
|
* Durability
|
|
* More
|
|
* All items
|
|
* Range
|
|
* Stack size
|
|
* Group memberships
|
|
* Other information added by mods
|
|
|
|
This mod also allows for mods to adding custom written description
|
|
and usage help texts in free-form and even custom automatically generated texts
|
|
for mod-specific information like flammability in Minetest Game. This is
|
|
one of the core features of this mod; the mod relies on other mods to
|
|
provide their custom help texts for a complete help.
|
|
|
|
If you find a particular item which is lacking an explanation on usage,
|
|
request the mod author to add `doc_items` support.
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
This mod has an API so that modders can add their own custom help texts,
|
|
custom factoids (single pieces of information extracted from the
|
|
item definition) and more.
|
|
|
|
For example, if your mods have some complex items which need
|
|
explanation, this mod can help you in adding help texts for them.
|
|
|
|
Read `API.md` to learn more.
