Crafting/it

Il Crafting è il modo in cui si creano blocchi e oggetti in Minetest. Per creare qualcosa, il giocatore deve spostare degli oggetti in una griglia di assemblaggio e metterli in una disposizione prestabilita.

Molte ricette aggiuntive e altre griglie di assemblaggio create dai giocatori sono disponibili tramite i mod.

Le basi del crafting

Questa sezione spiega le basi del crafting in modo davvero generico. Le regole qui spiegate sono valide normalmente per tutti i mod.

La griglia di assemblaggio e la casella del prodotto

Per essere in grado di assemblare qualcosa vi serve una griglia di assemblaggio. Una griglia di assemblaggio consiste in un numero di caselle dell'inventario in cui potete mettere o togliere oggetti così come potete fare con un inventario. Per essere assemblati, gli oggetti devono essere ordinati in qualche modo nella griglia di assemblaggio (si veda "Ingresso e Uscita"). Vicino ad una griglia di assemblaggio c'è una casella di prodotto, in cui appare l'oggetto assemblato se avete disposto gli oggetti di partenza correttamente. Cliccate col tasto sinistro del mouse sul simbolo dell'oggetto assemblato per eseguire questo assemblaggio una volta. Gli oggetti richiesti disposti nella griglia di assemblaggio verranno usati. Cliccate sul simbolo dell'oggetto assemblato con il tasto centrale per eseguire l'assemblaggio dieci volte (dipendentemente da quanti oggetti sono disposti nella griglia di assemblaggio). L'assemblaggio in genere non richiede tempo e potete usare immediatamente gli oggetti creati.

Le griglie di assemblaggio generalmente funzionano come inventari. Quindi è possibile usare/sfruttare una griglia di assemblaggio presente nel vostro menu dell'inventario come estensione dell'inventario del personaggio.

Comunque non potete mettere oggetti in una casella di prodotto. Da questa potete solo prendere oggetti.

Sulla sinistra, la griglia di assemblaggio 3x3 predefinita del giocatore. Sulla destra la sua casella di prodotto.

Il gioco Minetest Game ha solo una griglia di assemblaggio. É accessibile tramite il menu dell'inventario ed ha una dimensione di 3x3 caselle.

I mod e il gioco Minetest Game possono aggiungere svariate griglie di assemblaggio in diversi posti, non solo nell'inventario. É anche possibile che il menu dell'inventario non abbia una griglia di assemblaggio.

Input and output

A crafting recipe consists of at least one input item and exactly one stack of output items. Input items can be either concrete items (for example, Wooden Planks) or an item that is member of a group (for example, the wood group, a group where Wooden Planks and Junglewood Planks are members). If a recipe has multiple slots which require the same group, this does not mean that you have to place the same item in all of these slots. See #Crafting recipes using groups for a detailed example.

Minetest Game and other games and many mods make extensive use of the group system, understanding it is crucial to craft efficiently.

Learning crafting recipes

To be able to craft, you also need to know which crafting recipes are available in the first place. The preferred way is done by using a so-called crafting guide, a GUI element which tells the player the available crafting recipes in-game. It is a very important tool for playing.

Most subgames have a built-in crafting guide, so you easily learn all required crafting recipes in-game. Minetest Game is the big exception here, it does not have a crafting guide. To learn the crafting recipes for Minetest Game, you either have to install and use a crafting guide mod, or read through the articles in this wiki. Using a crafting guide is the preferred method, as it is more convenient to use, and the recipes in this wiki tend to become outdated or incorrect.

Using up the items

Normally, crafting one item removes exactly one item of each slot in the crafting grid.

A crafting recipe may also replace a item with an item instead. This is currently rarely used in mods. In Minetest Game, using Lava Bucket as furnace fuel does not use up the item, instead it leaves an Empty Bucket in the fuel slot.

Shaped and shapeless recipes

There are are two kinds of crafting recipes, shaped ones and shapeless ones.

For a shaped recipe, the items have to be arranged into an exact pattern. This wiki documents these patterns of Minetest Game. If a crafting recipe takes up a smaller rectangle than the crafting grid, it can be moved on any part of the crafting grid. For example, a 2×2 recipe can be arranged on the top left, top right, bottom left or bottom right on a 3×3 crafting grid. If a crafting recipe uses more space than available in the crafting grid, you are unable to craft this item with it. You need a larger one.

For a shapeless recipe, the necessary items just have to be placed on any available slots of the crafting grid.

Most crafting recipes of the Minetest Game are shaped recipes. If not noted otherwise, it is assumed that a crafting recipe is shaped. The shapeless recipes of Minetest Game produce bronze ingots, wool, flour and dyes, respectively.

Activities similar to crafting

Smelting and repairing are just a slightly different form of crafting, most rules described here apply, too. For smelting, the crafting grid is simply just 1×1. A repairing recipe is always shapeless recipe consisting of two tools of the same kind.

Example recipes

This section contains extensive examples of the basic crafting types. The examples here are all taken from the Minetest Game.

Shapeless recipes

Bronze Ingot is an example for a shapeless recipe. You need one Steel Ingot and one Copper Ingot. You can put them anywhere in the crafting grid you want, so the following crafts are all valid:

Name	Ingredients	Input/Output
Bronze Ingot	Steel Ingot + Copper ingot
Bronze Ingot	Steel Ingot + Copper ingot
Bronze Ingot	Steel Ingot + Copper ingot

And so on.

To keep the wiki pages short and simple, in the actual page there is only one of the possible crafts shown.

Repairing recipes

If you have two worn out Steel Shovels, you can repair one by placing them somewhere into the crafting grid:

Name	Ingredients	Input → Output
repaired Steel Shovel	worn off Steel Shovels

Note that repairing recipes are also shapeless. Repairing recipes are never explicitly shown in the wiki (except in this example).

Shaped recipes

These are all valid crafts of a shaped 3×1 crafting recipe:

Name	Ingredients	Input → Output
Paper	Papyrus
Paper	Papyrus
Paper	Papyrus

These crafts are all part of the same recipe. The actual wiki page does not repeat the other two crafts for simplicity’s sake.

Crafting recipes using groups

A crafting recipe using groups could be represented like this in the wiki:

Name	Ingredients	Input → Output
Furnace	“stone”-grouped items

Note that there is a special icon with a “G” in it. This icon is a placeholder for anything which is part of the “stone” group. So a furnace is build from 8 items from the stone group. Cobblestone and Desert Stone are examples for members of this group.

So you can build a furnace completely out of Cobblestone:

Name	Ingredients	Input → Output
Furnace	Cobblestones

Or Desert Stone:

Name	Ingredients	Input → Output
Furnace	Desert Stones

Or both mixed:

Name	Ingredients	Input → Output
Furnace	Cobblestones + Desert Stones

Or everything mixed up:

Name	Ingredients	Input → Output
Furnace	Stones + Desert Stones + Cobblestones + Desert Stone Brick + Stone Bricks
