Add /listitems command?

[Wuzzy]

This is a poll.
Should a “/listitems” command be added to Minetest?

The /listitems command would list all itemstrings (i.e. technical item names like “default:tree”). You need to know itemstrings for the /give and /giveme commands.

Additionally, a special parameter can be used to filter items by name. Oh, and such a command would probably require the “give” privilege to avoid cheating. ;-)

FYI: There is a 3rd-party mod which implements this feature, but it is not official: viewtopic.php?t=18049

This feature reminds me of __repr__ or toString in Python or Java respectively, and I approve of the use-case.

I found witt handy viewtopic.php?t=18204
to id stuff in game but it does not id entities . the technical names provided a good insight so can see the list being useful to others when testing mods .

No, I dislike the idea. It would be better if /give and /giveme would have autocomplete or assistance.

Code: Select all

/giveme stone
[1] default:stone
[2] mymod:stone_tool
[3] stone:foobar
[N] …
Select number:

Also tab completion similar to bash, etc.

And if the given parameter is unique then simply give the item. (i.e. /giveme foo would only return stone:foobar then give the user stone:foobar instead of requesting the number.)

Such function would be very useful.
