-The instance of a node in the world normally only contains the three values mentioned in "[[node|Nodes]]". However, it is possible to insert extra data into a
+#REDIRECT [[MetaDataRef]]
-node. It is called "node metadata".
-Metadata contains two things:
-* A key-value store
-* An inventory
-Some of the values in the key-value store are handled specially:
-* <code>formspec</code> — Defines a right-click inventory menu. See "[[formspec|Formspec]]".
-* <code>infotext</code> — Text shown on the screen when the node is pointed at
-Can be gotten via <source enclose="none">minetest.env:get_meta(pos)</source>.
