Get minecraft:bed color

[joeskeen]

I'm writing an add-on where I'm trying to collect all possible things in Minecraft Bedrock. Part of that collection will be creating all the different colors of beds. I've noticed that for the vast majority of colored items, each color has its own ID; however, it appears that for beds this isn't the case. According to the Minecraft Wiki, it says that Bedrock bed colors can be read from the data value... but then I can't find any way in the @minecraft/server scripting API to query that directly. I have tried querying components, dynamic properties, and tags, but got no response. I even tried looking at the localization id, and found for Cyan Bed that the id returned is item.bed.white.name...?!?!?!?

I'm apparently not alone smashing my head on the keyboard over this: https://www.reddit.com/r/MinecraftCommands/comments/1b0pmp4/can_we_detect_a_particular_bed_color_mcbe/

I'm hoping that in the future the scripting API itself will expose a way to query this directly, but in the meantime, would it at all be possible to create a utility in this library (or if someone can figure out how to actually access it, I'd be happy to just use whatever wonky workaround is necessary for now).

Thanks!

For posterity's sake, this is the ONLY way I have found to identify the color of a bed from an ItemStack using the Scripting API:

const color = /^item\.bed\.(.+)\.name$/.exec(itemStack.localizationKey)?.[1];

https://github.com/world-class-engineers/collect-everything-bedrock/blob/d59be985427b8e5e4d0137ce855dfb0565698c87/scripts/collections/item/identify-item.ts#L26

I vomit a little every time I think about having to parse it out of the localization key...

It's possible there's some kind of undocumented property or component I could access, but I've tried a number of things and can't find it.
