Using

Using refers to a specific activity with a block. The kind of activity depends on the block. Please note that not all blocks can be used.

By default, using is done by clicking with the right mouse button on the block that shall be used.

Using requires the default privilege “interact”.

In the vanilla Minetest game

By using, you can:

• open and close Doors
• access a Chest’s, Locked Chest’s or Bones’ inventory
• access a Furnace’s menu
• access a Sign’s menu to edit its text

In contrast, you can’t do all these if you don’t have the “interact” privilege.

In other games

There are endless possibilities. Mods can invent new blocks which act in someway if they are used.
