Custom Falling Nodes

• 

• Added new group {falling_node_hurt} to hurt players below falling items.
• Falling nodes will only replace airlike, buildable to, water and attached nodes.
• Any attached nodes will drop as item when replaced.
• Falling nodes with a light source fall with glow active.
• Added 'falling_step(self, pos, dtime)' custom on_step for falling items. 'self' contains falling object data. 'self.node' is the node currently falling. 'self.meta' is the metadata contained within the falling node. 'pos' holds position of falling item. 'dtime' used for timers.

return false to skip further checks by falling_item

  Adds needed functionality

  Certain falling nodes should cause damage to the player. This mod adds that important functionality. Though it only adds for certain nodes. I ask that it be allowed to be used for adding fall damage to any node other modders would like to add.
  Edit: Based on TenPlus1's comment adding the following code to your mod will allow you to add fall damage to any node: local function add_fall_damage(node, damage)

  local function add_fall_damage(node, damage)
      if minetest.registered_nodes[node] then
          local group = minetest.registered_nodes[node].groups
          group.falling_node_damage = damage
          minetest.override_item(node, {groups = group})
      else
          print (node .. " not found to add falling_node_damage to")
      end
  end
  
  add_fall_damage("my_mod:my_node", 3)

  Adds pushable boulders which spawn in dirt & stone. They tumble when they wind up on top of each other and cause damage when they fall on you.
