	This "API" provides a global table to allow you to refer to sides / directions by name, as opposed to their numbers. The underlying number values are identical to Minecraft's internal numbering (as well as the `ForgeDirection` Enum). This table serves as a two-directional look-up, so you can resolve names to numbers, but also numbers back to a human readable name. For example, `sides.top` has the value `1`, whereas `sides[1]` has the string value `top`. A couple of aliases for the side names are available, so it's less likely to accidentally pick the wrong one.
