RFID Scanner

The RFID Scanner is a peripheral capable of scanning for RFID Badges in a range of 8 blocks in player inventories.

Just like the NFC Card, a RFID Badge is capable of holding string data up to 128 characters and the readonly flag can be irreversibly enabled to prevent further writes.

Interacting with a living entity will permanently inject the RFID Badge, consuming the item. The RFID Scanner will then be able to scan the entity. Injecting a new RFID Badge again will override the current data. (since 0.3.0)

You can also put dyes along the RFID Badge in a crafting table to dye the badge.
