Making a node give you a different block when broken?

title explains it all, how exactly do i do this? minetest game lets you put drop: whatever when registering the node, but it seems to be exclusive since that doesn't work in my own game. how do i implement this? im extremely curious

Just set the drop field in the node def accordingly... :P

I have a similar question, if a node has two drops is it possible for the two to be exclusive from one another like a XOR ?

I haven't used the advanced drop thing myself yet, but it should be something like this:

Code: Select all

drop = {
max_items = 1, -- only drop one of the lists
items = {
{rarity = 2, items = {"mymod:myitem1"}}, -- chance 1/2: drop this
{rarity = 1, items = {"mymod:myitem2"}}, -- otherwise: drop this
},
}

Imo it would be much easier if one could just specify a function. I guess we have this complex drop thing just because of historic reasons.
