/**
 * Please do not include this File in your Mod-download as it ruins compatiblity, like with the IC2-API
 * You may just copy those Functions into your Code, or better call them via reflection.
 * 
 * The whole API is the basic construct of my Mod. Everything is dependent on it.
 * I change things quite often so please don't include any File inside your Mod, even if it is an Interface.
 * Since some Authors were stupid enough to break this simple Rule, I added Version checks to enforce it.
 * 
 * In these Folders are many useful Functions. You can use them via reflection if you want.
 * I know not everything is compilable due to API's of other Mods, but these are easy to fix in your Setup.
 * 
 * You can use this to learn about Modding, but I would recommend simpler Mods.
 * You may even copypaste Code from these API-Files into your Mod, as I have nothing against that, but you should look exactly at what you are copying.

	 * Returning true at isDamagable was a great Idea, KingLemming. Well played.
	 * Since the OmniWrench is just a Single-Item-Mod, people can choose if they want your infinite durability or not. So that's not really a Problem.
	 * I even have a new Config to autodisable most infinite BC Wrenches (but that one is turned off).
	 * 
	 * One last Bug for you to fix:
	 * My Autoregistration detects Railcrafts Crowbars, Buildcrafts Wrenches and alike, due to their Interfaces.
	 * Guess what now became a Crowbar by accident. Try registering the Wrench at the load phase to prevent things like that from happening.
	 * Yes, I know that "You need to register Tools in the Load Phase"-Part wasn't there before this. Sorry about that.
