+ * This class is a simplified netty wrapper for those not wishing to deal with the full power of netty.
+ * It provides a simple message driven system, based on a discriminator byte over the custom packet channel.
+ *
+ * Usage is simple:<ul>
+ * <li>construct, and store, an instance of this class. It will automatically register and configure your underlying netty channel.
+ *
+ * <li>Then, call {@link #registerMessage(Class, Class, byte, Side)} for each message type you want to exchange
+ * providing an {@link IMessageHandler} implementation class as well as an {@link IMessage} implementation class. The side parameter
+ * to that method indicates which side (server or client) the <em>message processing</em> will occur on. The discriminator byte
+ * should be unique for this channelName - it is used to discriminate between different types of message that might
+ * occur on this channel (a simple form of message channel multiplexing, if you will).
+ * <li>To get a packet suitable for presenting to the rest of minecraft, you can call {@link #getPacketFrom(IMessage)}. The return result
+ * is suitable for returning from things like {@link TileEntity#func_145844_m()} for example.
+ * <li>Finally, use the sendXXX to send unsolicited messages to various classes of recipients.
+ * </ul>
