EnvRef
From Minetest Developer Wiki
(Redirected from EnvRef:add entity)
Important Note: Since 0.4.7, minetest.env is deprecated. This feature won't be dropped soon to not break compatibility with older mods, but will be removed in a future version.
All functions listed here are (from 0.4.7 onwards) accessible via the global minetest table. For example, minetest.env:set_node(pos, node) becomes minetest.set_node(pos, node).
Basically ServerEnvironment and ServerMap combined. Can be gotten via minetest.env.
