[Mod] Item shelf [itemshelf]

[Grizzly Adam]

Thanks for the hard work!

I just updated the Media Pack for Laptop mod, everything works great there. Also, the old lady is very pleased about the rotate bug being fixed as she uses the shelves in her house.

cool stuff

now my bakery starts looking like the real thing :-D

hmm, you can put stacks in the shelves - but on destruction only one item per stack is dropped?
now take it to the next level of all inventories - add locked versions ;-P

[Grizzly Adam]

It would be cool if we had the option to make a shelf either drop its contents or to retain them while stored in inventory.

A full shelf within a full shelf within a full shelf within a full shelf...

Meh, I just think it would be nice to have it in the api for a developer to choose to use or not.

I don't know how to do it (nodes keeping their inventories while being held as items), but it is certainly possible.
If I get to do it, it would certainly be an option in the API and not default behavior of shelves.

You are entirely right on this, and this has been fixed in the latest version available in GitHub.

Good suggestion, but not sure how to do it. How do lock a shelf? They are so open...

Maybe take a look at the code for locked chest

See the methods after_place_node (restore node inventory from item) after_dig_node (save node inventory to item) in the laptop mod:
https://github.com/Gerold55/minetest-la ... w.lua#L106

Note the limitation if you like to do it, the stacking the shelf items is not allowed anymore (just 1x metadata for each stack). So you need to set stack_max = 1 in this case.

If you wait for Mintetest-0.5, a new function preserve_metadata() appears that should be take the search for the right item in after_dig_node obsolete.

Agree it feels strange if the itemshelf can be picked up with all the content, but the Disk Storage is usually picked up with the content, and the content of disk storage is usually disks only and not disk storage recursivelly.

hmm
you can put filled chests into the shelf with the old wrench mod

and the technic-wrench indeed seems to allow to place and retrieve a filled chest from the shelf. now if the wrench could pick up filled shelves ...

you might want to shift the placement of the items in a large shelf a little down to have them rest on the shelf as in the small ones

edit:
you can place steel trapdoors in front of a shelff, so if interaction with the shelf inventory would be restricted to the front when an opening node such as a door or trapdoor is placed in front of a shelf it might be enough.

[Sokomine]

Add half-width shelf, with open back as well (asked by GrizzlyAdam and Sokomine)

Thanks! I hope they'll show up on servers. Would love to build with them.

Direction usually does not matter that much when interacting with a node. It might be easier to just check if there is a trapdoor. If it's closed - that might be trickier to check. Manually sourrounding the shelf with diffrent nodes and then placing the closed trapdoor in front might be sufficient if the area is protected.

Maybe you could do something like this for an oven.

[Grizzly Adam]

That would be really cool with a roast chicken in it?

[GamingAssociation39]

Yeah or some other meats etc. etc.

[Grizzly Adam]

zoorman- any way I can rotate a entity placed in shelf to face upward, so a player is presented with an edge-on view like a coin laying on a flat surface.

[Grizzly Adam]

Bug found-- dropped stacks are drops are counted as single items when picked up.

For instance, here are four slots and the number of cookies they contain:
[1][1][3][1]

When the shelf is destroy, play can then pick up one shelf and 4 cookies (not the 6 contained within).

Hi all,

I have not been active for a long time... but I think I will be slowly coming back and being more active. I come back with a new update though! This is the list of changes:

• Enable protection using for taking/putting items on shelves.
• Add crafting recipes.
• Add shelves in all wood varieties.

With the above, this mod is not considered WIP anymore, and now this is version 1.0.

As per Grizzly Adam's bug, I will be looking at that soon.
