For example, Apotheosis has items with orange name colors (&6) which are likely to be more valuable compared to items with purple name colors (&5) but could otherwise appear entirely identical.
A player might want to sort these items into multiple different chests, but currently has no way to differentiate these items.
The end-user code for a sorter based on item name color might look like this:
every 20 ticks do
input from inputChest
output &6 to orangeNameOutputChest
output &5 to purpleNameOutputChest
end

The name color is based on some NBT data

The name color is based on some NBT data

Oh, is that already available to parse in SFM?

If so, I'll just close this.

I know, however, that & / §-based color codes can be easily turned into the NBT data through a Style, so it could still be useful to have the &[type] for a more player-friendly access of the data (so long as said player knows that the input matches said data, which is common).

Closing issue as it is essentially a duplicate of #122.
