Mineclonia/mods/CORE/_mcl_autogroup/init.lua

--[[
This mod implements a HACK to make 100% sure the digging times of all tools
match Minecraft's perfectly.  The digging times system of Minetest is very
different, so this weird group trickery has to be used.  In Minecraft, each
block has a hardness and the actual Minecraft digging time is determined by
this:

1) The block's hardness
2) The tool being used (the tool_multiplier and its efficiency level)
3) Whether the tool is considered as "eligible" for the block
   (e.g. only diamond pick eligible for obsidian)

See Minecraft Wiki <http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Minecraft_Wiki> for more
information.

How the mod is used
===================

In MineClone 2, all diggable node have the hardness set in the custom field
"_mcl_hardness" (0 by default).  Digging groups are registered using the
following code:

    mcl_autogroup.register_digtime_group("pickaxey", { levels = 5 })
    mcl_autogroup.register_digtime_group("shovely")
    mcl_autogroup.register_digtime_group("shovely")

The first line registers "pickaxey" as a digging group.  The "levels" field
indicates that the digging group have 5 levels (in this case one for each
material of a pickaxe).  The second line registers "shovely" as a digging group
which does not have separate levels (if the "levels" field is not set it
defaults to 0).

Nodes indicate that they belong to a particular digging group by being member of
the digging group in their node definition.  "mcl_core:dirt" for example has
shovely=1 in its groups.  If the digging group has multiple levels the value of
the group indicates which digging level the node requires.
"mcl_core:stone_with_gold" for example has pickaxey=3 because it requires a
pickaxe of level 3 to be mined.

For tools to be able to dig nodes of the digging groups they need to use the
have the custom field "_mcl_autogroup_groupcaps" function to get the groupcaps.
See "mcl_tools/init.lua" for examples of this.

Information about the mod
=========================

The mod is split up into two parts, mcl_autogroup and _mcl_autogroup.
mcl_autogroup contains the API functions used to register custom digging groups.
_mcl_autogroup contains most of the code.  The leading underscore in the name
"_mcl_autogroup" is used to force Minetest to load that part of the mod as late
as possible.  Minetest loads mods in reverse alphabetical order.
