How to find secret items in a Minetest based game

[-UK-]

If someone makes a game based on Minetest and adds some thing which can not be found naturally and can only be taken by /giveme, then is there any way I can know what the secret item is called by looking at its code because to use /giveme I will need to enter the item's name?

Sure! just search the code for minetest.register one of those hits should be the registeration of the item you want to give yourself.

You can also get all of them with minetest.registered_items
or use unified_inventory and remove all not_in_creative_inventory checks.

replace (not def.groups.not_in_creative_inventory or def.groups.not_in_creative_inventory == 0) with true.
same for (itemdef.groups.not_in_creative_inventory or 0) == 0

All of the present solutions help find secret items in the source code or from in-game. What I would have thought OP is after is a way to find the itemstring name that is necessary to give to the chat command to make many more after you already have the first one. So I will recommend (5.8.0 Settings menu now): User Interfaces -> Append item name. That will show the item name (itemstring) in the toolip in [] after the description. That is the text string that you need to give to give and /giveme. Personally I always play with it on.
