How to change burning time of a fuel?

[Arigoth]

Brand new to Minetest modding.
I would like to change the burning time of coal from 40 sec. to 20 sec.

In searching, the only thing I can find is item overriding.

I've tried...

Code: Select all

minetest.override_item("default:coal_lump", {burntime=20})

But this does not change the burning time.

What is the proper way to do this?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You have to re-define the 'fuel' type craft.

The original for coal is like:

Code: Select all

minetest.register_craft({
	type = "fuel",
	recipe = "default:coal_lump",
	burntime = 40,
})

To change it, make a new mod that depends on `default` and re-define the same recipe in it with a new burntime.

Why can't we use minetest.override_item() for that? That what's it made for.

Works perfectly, thank you very much.

Unless I'm mistaken, minetest.override_item() overrides item registration. Crafts and item registration are separate so minetest.override_item() would do nothing.
