+* `minetest.calculate_knockback(player, hitter, time_from_last_punch,
+ tool_capabilities, dir, distance, damage)`
+ * Returns the amount of knockback applied on the punched player.
+ * Arguments are equivalent to `register_on_punchplayer`, except the following:
+ * `distance`: distance between puncher and punched player
+ * This function can be overriden by mods that wish to modify this behaviour.
+ * You may want to cache and call the old function to allow multiple mods to
+ change knockback behaviour.

* `minetest.forceload_block(pos[, transient])`
* forceloads the position `pos`.
* returns `true` if area could be forceloaded
