Mod works, identical code does not work client-side

I wrote a simple code to place a HUD image on the screen. As a typical mod, it functions exactly as expected. However, using the exact same code as a CSM, I get the following error:

ERROR[Main]: ...est-0.4.16-win32-msvc\bin\..\clientmods\box\init.lua:1: attempt to call field 'register_on_joinplayer' (a nil value)

Any ideas?

As the error suggests, that function does not exist. Learning to read error messages is rather important as a programming skill

Have a look here for available functions: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/bl ... ua_api.txt
