Welcome to the world of mobs in minetest and hopefully an easy guide to defining
your own mobs and having them appear in your worlds.
Registering Mobs
----------------
Mobs can look for specific nodes as they walk and replace them to mimic eating.
To register a mob and have it ready for use requires the following function:
'replace_what' group if items to replace e.g. {"farming:wheat_8", "farming:carrot_8"}
'replace_with' replace with what e.g. "air" or in chickens case "mobs:egg"
'replace_rate' how random should the replace rate be (typically 10)
'replace_offset' +/- value to check specific node to replace
'on_replace(self, pos, oldnode, newnode)' gets called when mob is about to replace a node
self: ObjectRef of mob
pos: Position of node to replace
oldnode: Current node
newnode: What the node will become after replacing
mobs:register_mob(name, definition)
If false is returned, the mob will not replace the node.
The 'name' of a mob usually starts with the mod name it's running from followed
by it's own name e.g.
By default, replacing sets self.gotten to true and resets the object properties.
"mobs_monster:sand_monster" or "mymod:totally_awesome_beast"
The 'replace_what' has been updated to use tables for what, with and y_offset e.g.
... and the 'definition' is a table which holds all of the settings and
functions needed for the mob to work properly which contains the following:
replace_what = { {"group:grass", "air", 0}, {"default:dirt_with_grass", "default:dirt", -1} }
'nametag' contains the name which is shown above mob.
'type' holds the type of mob that inhabits your world e.g.
"animal" usually docile and walking around.
"monster" attacks player or npc on sight.
"npc" walk around and will defend themselves if hit first, they
kill monsters.
'hp_min' has the minimum health value the mob can spawn with.
'hp_max' has the maximum health value the mob can spawn with.
'armor' holds strength of mob, 100 is normal, lower is more powerful
and needs more hits and better weapons to kill.
'passive' when true allows animals to defend themselves when hit,
otherwise they amble onwards.
'walk_velocity' is the speed that your mob can walk around.
'run_velocity' is the speed your mob can run with, usually when attacking.
'walk_chance' has a 0-100 chance value your mob will walk from standing,
set to 0 for jumping mobs only.
'jump' when true allows your mob to jump updwards.
'jump_height' holds the height your mob can jump, 0 to disable jumping.
'step_height' height of a block that your mob can easily walk up onto.
'fly' when true allows your mob to fly around instead of walking.
'fly_in' holds the node name that the mob flies (or swims) around
in e.g. "air" or "default:water_source".
'runaway' if true causes animals to turn and run away when hit.
'view_range' how many nodes in distance the mob can see a player.
'reach' how many nodes in distance a mob can attack a player while
standing.
'damage' how many health points the mob does to a player or another
mob when melee attacking.
'knockback' when true has mobs falling backwards when hit, the greater
the damage the more they move back.
'fear_height' is how high a cliff or edge has to be before the mob stops
walking, 0 to turn off height fear.
'fall_speed' has the maximum speed the mob can fall at, default is -10.
'fall_damage' when true causes falling to inflict damage.
'water_damage' holds the damage per second infliced to mobs when standing in
water.
'lava_damage' holds the damage per second inflicted to mobs when standing
in lava or fire.
'light_damage' holds the damage per second inflicted to mobs when it's too
bright (above 13 light).
'suffocation' when true causes mobs to suffocate inside solid blocks.
'floats' when set to 1 mob will float in water, 0 has them sink.
'follow' mobs follow player when holding any of the items which appear
on this table, the same items can be fed to a mob to tame or
breed e.g. {"farming:wheat", "default:apple"}
Mob animation comes in three parts, start_frame, end_frame and frame_speed which
can be added to the mob definition under pre-defined mob animation names like:
'reach' is how far the mob can attack player when standing
nearby, default is 3 nodes.
'docile_by_day' when true has mobs wandering around during daylight
hours and only attacking player at night or when
provoked.
'attacks_monsters' when true has npc's attacking monsters or not.
'attack_animal' when true will have monsters attacking animals.
'owner_loyal' when true will have tamed mobs attack anything player
punches when nearby.
'group_attack' when true has same mob type grouping together to attack
offender.
'attack_type' tells the api what a mob does when attacking the player
or another mob:
'dogfight' is a melee attack when player is within mob reach.
'shoot' has mob shoot pre-defined arrows at player when inside
view_range.
'dogshoot' has melee attack when inside reach and shoot attack
when inside view_range.
'explode' causes mob to explode when inside reach.
'explosion_radius' has the radius of the explosion which defaults to 1.
'explosion_timer' number of seconds before mob explodes while still
inside view range.
'arrow' holds the pre-defined arrow object to shoot when
attacking.
'dogshoot_switch' allows switching between attack types by using timers
(1 for shoot, 2 for dogfight)
'dogshoot_count_max' contains how many seconds before switching from
dogfight to shoot.
'dogshoot_count_max2' contains how many seconds before switching from shoot
to dogfight.
'shoot_interval' has the number of seconds between shots.
'shoot_offset' holds the y position added as to where the
arrow/fireball appears on mob.
'specific_attack' has a table of entity names that mob can also attack

'runaway_from' contains a table with mob names to run away from, add
"player" to list to runaway from player also.
'blood_amount' contains the number of blood droplets to appear when
mob is hit.
'blood_texture' has the texture name to use for droplets e.g.
"mobs_blood.png", or table {"blood1.png", "blood2.png"}
'pathfinding' set to 1 for mobs to use pathfinder feature to locate
player, set to 2 so they can build/break also (only
works with dogfight attack and when 'mobs_griefing'
in minetest.conf is not false).
'immune_to' is a table that holds specific damage when being hit by
certain items e.g.

mobs:register_spawn(name, nodes, max_light, min_light, chance, active_object_count, max_height, day_toggle)
Custom Definition Functions
---------------------------
mobs:spawn_specfic(name, nodes, neighbors, min_light, max_light, interval, chance, active_object_count, min_height, max_height, day_toggle, on_spawn)
Along with the above mob registry settings we can also use custom functions to
enhance mob functionality and have them do many interesting things:
These functions register a spawn algorithm for the mob. Without this function the call the mobs won't spawn.
'on_die' a function that is called when the mob is killed the
parameters are (self, pos)
'on_rightclick' its same as in minetest.register_entity()
'on_blast' is called when an explosion happens near mob when using TNT
functions, parameters are (object, damage) and returns
(do_damage, do_knockback, drops)
'on_spawn' is a custom function that runs on mob spawn with 'self' as
variable, return true at end of function to run only once.
'after_activate' is a custom function that runs once mob has been activated
with these paramaters (self, staticdata, def, dtime)
'on_breed' called when two similar mobs breed, paramaters are
(parent1, parent2) objects, return false to stop child from
being resized and owner/tamed flags and child textures being
applied. Function itself must spawn new child mob.
'on_grown' is called when a child mob has grown up, only paramater is
(self).
'do_punch' called when mob is punched with paramaters (self, hitter,
time_from_last_punch, tool_capabilities, direction), return
false to stop punch damage and knockback from taking place.
'custom_attack' when set this function is called instead of the normal mob
melee attack, parameters are (self, to_attack).
'on_die' a function that is called when mob is killed (self, pos)
'do_custom' a custom function that is called every tick while mob is
active and which has access to all of the self.* variables
e.g. (self.health for health or self.standing_in for node
status), return with 'false' to skip remainder of mob API.
'name' is the name of the animal/monster
'nodes' is a list of nodenames on that the animal/monster can spawn on top of
'neighbors' is a list of nodenames on that the animal/monster will spawn beside (default is {"air"} for mobs:register_spawn)
'max_light' is the maximum of light
'min_light' is the minimum of light
'interval' is same as in register_abm() (default is 30 for mobs:register_spawn)
'chance' is same as in register_abm()
'active_object_count' mob is only spawned if active_object_count_wider of ABM is <= this
'min_height' is the minimum height the mob can spawn
'max_height' is the maximum height the mob can spawn
'day_toggle' true for day spawning, false for night or nil for anytime
'on_spawn' is a custom function which runs after mob has spawned and gives self and pos values.
... also a simpler way to handle mob spawns has been added with the mobs:spawn(def) command which uses above names to make settings clearer:

External Settings for "minetest.conf"
------------------------------------
'enable_damage' if true monsters will attack players (default is true)
'only_peaceful_mobs' if true only animals will spawn in game (default is
false)
'mobs_disable_blood' if false blood effects appear when mob is hit (default
is false)
'mobs_spawn_protected' if set to false then mobs will not spawn in protected
areas (default is true)
'remove_far_mobs' if true then mobs that are outside players visual
range will be removed (default is false)
'mobname' can change specific mob chance rate (0 to disable) and
spawn number e.g. mobs_animal:cow = 1000,5
'mob_difficulty' sets difficulty level (health and hit damage
multiplied by this number), defaults to 1.0.
'mob_show_health' if false then punching mob will not show health status
(true by default)
'mob_chance_multiplier' multiplies chance of all mobs spawning and can be set
to 0.5 to have mobs spawn more or 2.0 to spawn less.
e.g. 1 in 7000 * 0.5 = 1 in 3500 so better odds of
spawning.
'mobs_spawn' if false then mobs no longer spawn without spawner or
spawn egg.
'mobs_drop_items' when false mobs no longer drop items when they die.
'mobs_griefing' when false mobs cannot break blocks when using either
pathfinding level 2, replace functions or mobs:boom
function.
Players can override the spawn chance for each mob registered by adding a line
to their minetest.conf file with a new value, the lower the value the more each
mob will spawn e.g.
mobs_animal:sheep_chance 11000
mobs_monster:sand_monster_chance 100
