/**
 * If you wish to create a block component for a third-party block, i.e. a block
 * for which you do not control the tile entity, such as vanially blocks, you
 * will need a block driver.
 * <p/>
 * This prefab allows creating a driver that works for a specified list of item
 * stacks (to support different blocks with the same id but different metadata
 * values).
 * <p/>
 * Note that if you use this prefab you <em>must instantiate your driver in the
 * init phase</em>, since it automatically registers itself with OpenComputers.
 * <p/>
 * You still have to provide the implementation for creating its environment, if
 * any.
