# API
|
|
## Groups
|
|
MineClone 2 makes very extensive use of groups. Making sure your items and objects have the correct group memberships is very important.
|
|
Groups are explained in `GROUPS.md`.
|
|
|
|
## Mod naming convention
|
|
Mods mods in MineClone 2 follow a simple naming convention: Mods with the prefix “`mcl_`” are specific to MineClone 2, although they may be based on an existing standalone. Mods which lack this prefix are *usually* verbatim copies of a standalone mod. Some modifications may still have been applied, but the APIs are held compatible.
|
|
|
|
## Adding items
|
|
### Special fields
|
|
|
|
All nodes can have these fields:
|
|
|
|
* `_mcl_hardness`: Hardness of the block, ranges from 0 to infinity (represented by -1). Determines digging times. Default: 0
|
|
* `_mcl_blast_resistance`: How well this block blocks and resistst explosions. Default: 0
|
|
|
|
Use the `mcl_sounds` mod for the sounds.
|
|
|
|
## APIs
|
|
A lot of things are possible by using one of the APIs in the mods. Note that not all APIs are documented yet, but it is planned. The following APIs should be more or less stable but keep in mind that MineClone 2 is still unfinished. All directory names are relative to `mods/`
|
|

## Mobs
|
|
* Mobs: `ENTITIES/mods`
|
|
|
|
MineClone 2 uses Mobs Redo [`mobs`] by TenPlus1, a very powerful mod for adding mods of various types.
|
|
There are modificiations from the original mod for MineClone 2 compability. Some items have been removed or moved to other mods, but the API is identical.
|
|
You can add your own mobs, spawn eggs and spawning rules with this mod.
|
|
API documnetation is included in `ENTITIES/mobs/api.txt`.
