API for adding MineClone 2 fences

This API allows you to add fences and fence gates. The recommended function is mcl_fences.register_fence_and_fence_gate.

mcl_fences.register_fence = function(id, fence_name, texture, fence_image, groups, connects_to, sounds)

Adds a fence without crafting recipe. A single node is created.

Parameter

• id: A part of the itemstring of the node to create. The node name will be “<modname>:<id>”
• fence_name: User-visible name (description)
• texture: Texture to apply on the fence (all sides)
• fence_image: Inventory image
• groups: Table of groups to which the fence belongs to
• connects_to: Table of nodes (itemstrings) to which the fence will connect to. Use group:<groupname> for all members of the group <groupname>
• sounds: Node sound table for the fence

Return value

The full itemstring of the new fence node.

Notes: Fences will always have the group fence=1. They will always connect to solid nodes (group solid=1).

mcl_fences.register_fence_gate = function(id, fence_gate_name, texture, gate_image, groups, connects_to, sounds)

Adds a fence gate without crafting recipe. This will create 2 nodes.

Parameters

• fence_gate_name: User-visible name (description)
• texture: Texture to apply on the fence gate (all sides)
• gate_image: Inventory image
• groups: Table of groups to which the fence gate belongs to
• connects_to: Table of nodes (itemstrings) to which the fence will connect to. Use group:<groupname> for all members of the group <groupname>

2. Itemstring of the open fence gate

mcl_fences.register_fence_and_fence_gate = function(id, fence_name, fence_gate_name, texture, fence_image, gate_image, groups, connects_to, sounds)
