	 * To define mod crops you need to use FMLInterModComms in your @Mod.Init method.
	 * There are two 'types' of crops you can add. Standard crops and clickable crops.
	 * 
	 * Standard crops work like normal vanilla crops - they grow until a certain metadata 
	 * value is reached and you harvest them by destroying the block and collecting the blocks.
	 * You need to create and ItemStack that tells the golem what block id and metadata represents
	 * the crop when fully grown. Sending a metadata of [OreDictionary.WILDCARD_VALUE] will mean the metadata won't get 
	 * checked.
	 * Example for vanilla wheat: 
	 * FMLInterModComms.sendMessage("Thaumcraft", "harvestStandardCrop", new ItemStack(Block.crops,1,7));
	 *  
	 * Clickable crops are crops that you right click to gather their bounty instead of destroying them.
	 * As for standard crops, you need to create and ItemStack that tells the golem what block id 
	 * and metadata represents the crop when fully grown. The golem will trigger the blocks onBlockActivated method. 
	 * Sending a metadata of [OreDictionary.WILDCARD_VALUE] will mean the metadata won't get checked.
	 * Example (this will technically do nothing since clicking wheat does nothing, but you get the idea): 
	 * FMLInterModComms.sendMessage("Thaumcraft", "harvestClickableCrop", new ItemStack(Block.crops,1,7));
	 * 
	 * Stacked crops (like reeds) are crops that you wish the bottom block should remain after harvesting.
	 * As for standard crops, you need to create and ItemStack that tells the golem what block id 
	 * and metadata represents the crop when fully grown. Sending a metadata of [OreDictionary.WILDCARD_VALUE] will mean the actualy md won't get 
	 * checked. If it has the order upgrade it will only harvest if the crop is more than one block high.

	 * 
	 * NOTE: The chance modifier is a multiplier applied to the default chance for that cluster to be produced (default 27.5% for a pickaxe of the core)

	 * [Entity] is in a similar format to what is used for mob spawners and such (see EntityList.class for vanilla examples).
	 * The [level] value indicate how rare the champion version will be - the higher the number the more common. 
	 * The number roughly equals the [n] in 100 chance of a mob being a champion version. 
	 * You can give 0 or negative numbers to allow champions to spawn with a very low chance only in particularly dangerous places. 
	 * However anything less than about -2 will probably result in no spawns at all.
	 * Example:
