### Aliases
|

Aliases can be added by using `minetest.register_alias(name, convert_to)` or

`minetest.register_alias_force(name, convert_to).

This will make Minetest to convert things called name to things called

`convert_to`.

The only difference between `minetest.register_alias` and

`minetest.register_alias_force` is that if an item called `name` exists,

`minetest.register_alias` will do nothing while

`minetest.register_alias_force` will unregister it.

This can be used for maintaining backwards compatibility.

This can be also used for setting quick access names for things, e.g. if

you have an item called `epiclylongmodname:stuff`, you could do

minetest.register_alias("stuff", "epiclylongmodname:stuff")
