-== Intro ==
-Minetest has a scripting [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_programming_interface API] ('''A'''pplication '''P'''rogramming '''I'''nterface), which is used to program '''mods''' (short for "modifications") for the game, extending its features and adding new items.
-This API is accessed using an easy-to-use programming language called Lua.
-The only thing you will need is basic programming knowledge. If you don't have any programming experience, you can use http://codecademy.com to learn. It will teach you the basics of programming (it is JavaScript, not Lua, but still helps).
-More specifically, the version of Lua is 5.1. [http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/ Reference manual], [http://www.lua.org/pil/ book]
-== Example ==
-<source>
--- Add the decowood node
-minetest.register_node("tutorial:decowood", {
-	tiles = {"tutorial_decowood.png"},
-	groups = {snappy=1,choppy=2,oddly_breakable_by_hand=2,flammable=3},
-})
--- Add the decostick craftitem
-minetest.register_craftitem("tutorial:decostick", {
-	inventory_image = "tutorial_decostick.png",
-	groups = {stick=1},
-})
--- Add the crafting recipe for decowood
-minetest.register_craft({
-	output = 'tutorial:decowood 2',
-	recipe = {
-		{'default:wood', 'default:wood', ''},
-		{'default:wood', 'default:wood', ''},
