Et Cetera

A general-purpose library mod for the Minetest engine

Et Cetera is a combination of two types of library:

  • A library of miscellaneous tweaks and gameplay features (primarily targeted at Minetest Game) for players to play with and for mod devs to use as crafting dependencies;
  • A library of common code with no singular primary purpose, though mainly useful for automating the creation of various kinds of mod boilerplate.

Et Cetera (abbreviated Etc) is divided into "Modules", which can be configured or disabled independently from the main settings menu. The gameplay features of Etc are listed below organized by module.

When an enabled module's dependencies are unsatisfied, it will disable itself and (optionally, see settings) log a warning.

A comprehensive reference to the APIs and utilities provided to mod and game developers can be found in the doc/ directory, starting with doc/main.html. This doc is meant to be viewed in the browser, and makes use of CSS and JavaScript. References for the mini-APIs provided by individual modules can be found under doc/module APIs/.
