[Mod] Crafting Guide [1.14.3] [craftguide]

[jp]

Crafting Guide

craftguide is the most comprehensive crafting guide on Minetest. Consult the Minetest Wiki for more details.
This crafting guide is a blue book named "Crafting Guide" or a wooden sign.

This crafting guide features a progressive mode. This mode is a Terraria-like system that only shows recipes you can craft from items in inventory. It can be enabled with craftguide_progressive_mode = true in minetest.conf.

craftguide is also integrated in sfinv (Minetest Game inventory) when you enable it with craftguide_sfinv_only = true in minetest.conf.

Use the command /craft to show the recipe(s) of the pointed node.

For developers, craftguide also has a modding API.

For the best visuals, it is recommended to enable inventory_items_animations in minetest.conf.

Dependencies: sfinv (optional), sfinv_buttons (optional)
License: MIT
This mod supports Minetest 5.3 and above, but it's highly recommended to use the latest version. Using LuaJIT is also a strong recommendation.

Nice one jp :)

Depends : none.

Code: Select all

recipe = {"default:book", "dye:blue"}

Doesn't it makes dependencies from default and dye?

Why item filtering cannot be applied when I typing into search field instead of pressing question mark button (it would be time saver). And why button label chosen as question mark in the first place? IMO question mark label should be for "help" type buttons not for search, it confuses.

No, because it doesn't need those mod to run first.

Me too. But, it already exist in creative inventory on unstable Minetest Game.

Because it's a technical limitation of the engine. You'll never find a mod doing so.

And why button label chosen as question mark in the first place?

For simplicity (no image required) and it's self-explanatory enough.

This is a miracle mod and should probably be included in the stock default game.

I'm curious about one thing, and it's been brought up before. While personally the question mark, and having to type and search to see results, doesn't bother me. I question whether it's impossible, though, because xban2 updates its lists as you type into its search bar.

Of course, I trust your judgement and consider that this is an entirely different thing to that.

[jp]

I question whether it's impossible, though, because xban2 updates its lists as you type into its search bar.

Hmm... are you sure ? Because I see a "Search" button on the right side of the xban2's GUI.

I don't see in the code how it makes that possible, either.

[everamzah]

My memory didn't serve -- it doesn't update as I type into it now. The text input field sends fields on each character input though, but my memory might not serve.

Edit: I got no clue what I was thinking...

Happy to see your "Crafting Guide" posted splitted from xdecor, great job !

[LazerRay]

Ran into a recipe conflict with this mod and HomeDecor, a book with blue dye is one of the write-able books from HomeDecor which is also the recipe for the guide book here.

I just took out the dye requirement on my copy of Crafting Guide to fix the conflict, so now it just needs a default book to craft it.

I also found a minor bug where you can't put it inside a bookshelf, but you can still put it on most other containers.

Is it also possible to have the guide book place-able, like putting it on top of a table or something so you can look things up while its outside of your inventory, I sometimes have a full inventory when I do a lot of crafting.

[jp]

Good remarks. I changed the recipe to one default book, and added the group "book" to the nodedef so that you'll be able to store it in a bookshelf.

As for making it place-able, that's possible but node-formspecs are consistently slower. It's not worth it.

[firefox]

seen it in Xanadu today.
it's great =(^.^)=
so fast and simple to use

+1

[jp]

Update : a small but handy change, the last formspec is recalled when you re-use the guide again.

[jp]

Update : further code's cleaning improving the performances a bit.

[drschwabe]

I'm a n00b I enabled the mod now how do you read this "Crafting Guide" in the game?

[jp]

Search a blue book called "Crafting Guide" in description. Then take it in your hand and click.

[drschwabe]

Please clarify, where is "in description" ? In the game? Is it lying on the ground somewhere?

[jp]

Go to your inventory, move your cursor over the blue book. The description in tooltip :

[drschwabe]

Okay, it seems the problem is that the book is not appearing in my inventory.
I have the mod enabled and tried with existing world and new world but no book in my inventory.

[jp]

OK, you're not in creative mode. Craft a normal book and move it in the crafting grid.

this mod seems belong to xdecor mod .because it has codes at line139:

Code: Select all

minetest.register_craftitem(":xdecor:crafting_guide", {

simply solution is to update the latest xdecor mod which already include this craftguide mod.this's what i done,and craft searching will be usual.

and..this craftguide mod is awesome,simple & fast performance.

[jp]

This mod is an extract from xdecor, it doesn't depend at all from xdecor.

What you see is just the item name.
