Create New Wetlands Mod

Scaffold a new mod following Wetlands project conventions.

Critical VoxeLibre Rules

• •Use optional_depends instead of depends in mod.conf
• •Use VoxeLibre item names, NOT vanilla Minetest names:
  • •mcl_core:stick (not default:stick)
  • •mcl_core:stone (not default:stone)
  • •mcl_books:book (not default:book)
  • •mcl_farming:wheat_item (not farming:wheat)
• •Do NOT depend on mcl_sounds (not available)

Process

1. Gather Information

Ask the user for:

• •Mod name: lowercase with underscores (e.g., animal_shelter)
• •Purpose: What the mod does
• •Dependencies: Which VoxeLibre APIs it needs

2. Create Directory Structure

Create server/mods/$ARGUMENTS/ with:

mod.conf:

name = [mod_name]
title = [Mod Title]
description = [Description for Wetlands server]
author = Wetlands Team
version = 1.0.0
optional_depends = mcl_core, mcl_formspec

init.lua:

-- [Mod Title] for Wetlands Server
-- Version: 1.0.0
-- [Brief description]

local modname = minetest.get_current_modname()
local modpath = minetest.get_modpath(modname)

-- [Mod logic here]

minetest.log("action", "[" .. modname .. "] Loaded successfully")

3. Enable in Server Config

Read server/config/luanti.conf and add:

load_mod_[mod_name] = true

4. Content Guidelines (Wetlands Values)

All mods must align with Wetlands values:

• •Educational and compassionate content
• •Appropriate for children 7+
• •No violence, no explicit content
• •Promote animal care, sustainability, creativity
• •Spanish language support where applicable

5. Provide Commit Message
