The title explains it; would there be anyway to get a command to get the color of a disk? I can see a use for this in many applications such as an advanced keycard door or a program to label disks based on they're color.

I don't see much use for it, and there are other ways to get the damage value of a disk in. Minecraft (with other mods).

Sounds like the sort of function that one might add to the disk drive, were it treated like a peripheral… How is a computer going to
know what colour a disk is without some sort of optical sensor installed somewhere? :huh:/>

It appears damage values aren't used to differentiate between "coloured" disks. They're all just assigned to the one ID and that's that.

Oh, I see. I guess they could be useful, then.

It may be possible via Open Peripheral.

Disk colors are purely a cosmetic property of disks and should only be treated as such.

Besides, does your computer have the ability to diferentiate the color of the floppy disk you insert to it?
I don't think this would be enabled.

Maybe Open Peripheral might have a feature for this in the future, but I doubt it will be implemented in CC.

I just don't see any reason you would need this that wouldn't be better as written code on the disk itself.

Nope. I really don't see the point to having it.
