How do I install this?

PosTool mod for Minetest

Adds configurable HUD elements for current: position (node and block) and time. If advtrains is installed, it can also display railway time. If mesecons_debug is installed, this info can also be displayed.

Use chat command /postool to invoke formspec to toggle elements and position of HUD.

Screenshots

Pick a location.

Use the tool.

Invoke formspec with /postool

Example display of HUD

The progress-bar shows the mesecons usage in current block. It changes colour based on penalty.

When not disabled and user is not standing in the middle block of a chunk, then a smaller, green grid shows in which direction the chunk borders are. The closer to the orange grid the green one is, the closer a chunk border is in that direction.

PosTool

Crafting recipe:

        |               |               | default:glass |
        |               | default:torch |               |
        | default:stick |               |               |

Punch or place with PosTool to show a grid of the map-block at that position. If PosTool is used on a node, that nodes position will be used otherwise players position.

Thanks

This mod was strongly inspired by poshud. Some techniques I borrowed from missions. I also want to mention replacer <- Coil0's version <- Sokomine's version and protector as I used parts of them too. @6r1d for screenshots and support

Thanks also to the users of pandorabox.io for feedback and inspiration to actually write this mod. @Huhhila for pushing the mapchunk indicator idea. On #minetest IRC/discord @Warr1024, @hlqkj and @Krock for chiming in the discussion.

Thanks to @BuckarooBanzay for helping debugging postool in node-breakers.
