Work on Workbench API continues, more classes added

Mojang is slowly adding good bits and pieces to the Workbench API today over on Github. Today lots of small additions have been made, mostly more classes that developers can take advantage of. There isn't much I can say that they have worked on without losing most of you in nerd talk, unfortunately. They are adding ways to let mods know which direction you are moving to (from above, like a map), as well as finding the location of a block or scan the nearby area for a type of block. Many of these features have been in Bukkit for a while now, but Mojang is at least making progress on the Mod API. And they need to, since it will come in Minecraft 1.4.
