--[[
Wrench mod

Adds a wrench that allows the player to pickup nodes that contain an inventory
with items or metadata that needs perserving.
The wrench has the same tool capability as the normal hand.
To pickup a node simply right click on it. If the node contains a formspec,
you will need to shift+right click instead.
Because it enables arbitrary nesting of chests, and so allows the player
to carry an unlimited amount of material at once, this wrench is not
available to survival-mode players.
