Features
- easy to use - no chat commands, just nice easy structures that you can build by crafting and placing nodes
- lightweight - there are no ABMs, the nodes are created using after_place_node() in the node definitions
- grief-resistant - before nodes deploy a check is run to ensure that only air exists in the new area
- server friendly - all players can create impressive structures easily
- fun to build - create structures easily with nodes, or even by shooting arrows!

Modding Guide
Add New Shapes
Shapes should be deployed in their own mod folder, for example
deploy_your_mod/init.lua
as follows:
deploy_your_mod = {} deploy_your_mod.deploy = function(pos,placer) -- check for space if deploy_nodes.check_for_space==true and not enough_space then return end -- remove node minetest.env:remove_node(pos) -- build the thing -- ... your code here ... end minetest.register_node("deploy_your_mod:your_node", { after_place_node = deploy_your_mod.deploy, })
You will also need to add deploy_nodes
to the
deploy_your_mod/depends.txt
file.
deploy_nodes
Add New Buildings
Simply drop them into
deploy_building/buildings/[large|medium|small]
. The mod will detect them automatically as long as they have a ".we" extension.
