  "textContent": "> It's an API - the only things that it would depend on are things like the base Minetest game, etc. Other mods depend on it!\n\nDespite having a grandiose name of \"THE\" Mob API, I couldn't find a single thing that used it. This means the author, TX Miner, probably intended to write one later, after publishing the API, for their own mods. And if we compare download figures, something seems a bit off in your estimation of its importance: Mobs Redo with 390,000 downloads, and \"The Mob API\" with 200.\n\nMinetest Game doesn't need any separate mod downloads off of ContentDB to run properly - it doesn't ship with any mobs at all. And you seem to be missing the fact that if you look for a specific animal mod like Mobs Animal, it uses a different API, Mobs Redo, which you have already mentioned. And when in the in-game Content tab you go to install Mobs Animal, ContentDB checks the dependencies and fetches Mobs Redo API for you. But it sounds like you\n\nSo I hope you can see why I think you were only being pre-emptive, or misled. I am trying to be helpful and explanatory, not contradictory (even if my tone can seem sharp :( .. )\n\nStatistics: Posted by Blockhead — Wed Mar 04, 2026 02:14\n\n* * *",
