## Howto register a display node
* Register display entities with `register_display_entity`
* Register node with :
- `on_place`, `on_construct`, `on_destruct` and `on_rotate` callbacks using display_api callbacks.
 
- `display_modpack_node` group. This will make this node have their entities updated as soon as the mapblock is loaded (Useful after /clearobjects).
 
- `display_api` group. This will make this node have their entities updated as soon as the mapblock is loaded (Useful after /clearobjects).
- a `display_entities` field in node definition containing a entity name indexed table. See below for description of each display_entities fields.
### Display_entities fields
`on_display_update` is a callback in charge of setting up entity texture. If not set, entity will have no texture and will be displayed as unknown item.
`depth`, `right` and `height` : Entity position regarding to node facedir/wallmounted main axis.
`depth`, `right` and `height`: Entity position regarding to node facedir/wallmounted main axis.
Values for these fields can be any number between -1.5 and 1.5 (default value is 0).
Position 0,0,0 is the center of the node.
`depth` goes from front (-0.5) to rear (0.5), `height` goes from bottom (-0.5) to top (0.5) and `right` goes from left (-0.5) to right (0.5).
