Tooltip API

This API explains how to handle the extended item tooltips (description field).

Fields

Add these to the item definition.

• _tt_ignore: If true, the description of this item won't be altered at all
• _tt_help: Custom help text
• _tt_food: If true, item is a food item that can be consumed by the player
• _tt_food_hp: Health increase (in HP) for player when consuming food item
• _tt_food_satiation: Satiation increase for player when consuming food item (note: the meaning of satiation is depending on the game being used; some games might not have a satiation mechanic at all, in which case you can skip this field)

Once this mod had overwritten the description field of an item was overwritten, it will save the original (unaltered) description in the _tt_original_description field.

tt.register_snippet(func)

Register a custom snippet function. func is a function of the form func(itemstring). It will be called for (nearly) every itemstring and it must return a string you want to append to this item or nil if nothing shall be appended.

Example:

tt.register_snippet(function(itemstring)
	if minetest.get_item_group(itemstring, "magic") == 1 then
		return "This item is magic"
	end
end)
