Minetest Modding : Overriding Mobs
Channel: Tai Kedzierski
Date: 2016-09-22

My entity_override "framework" or "api" (both are a bit heavy language to use for such a light piece of code!) is aimed at encouraging programmers to avoid incurring technical debt by showing examples of chaining functions, and by NOT directly modifying mod files unless needed.

This video is a demonstration of how to use it and shows how clean and easy it is to keep your modifications separate from the original mods' code.

You can find it at https://github.com/taikedz/minetest-override/ , released under LGPLv3

D00med's Mobs, used in this demo, is available here https://github.com/D00Med/dmobs/

Minetest is an Open Source competitor to Minecraft, easier to make mods for, and Free Software as defined by the Free Software Foundation
