Platter adds a variety of platter blocks that automatically feed nearby creatures and players.
Right-clicking puts items onto the platter. Sneak right-clicking the platter removes the item on top of the platter. Platters will stop dispensing food when a redstone signal is applied. Platters support comparator output. Wooden platters will feed animals and players, metal and stone platters will only feed players.
I have tried to give Platter sensible, configurable defaults. By default, a platter will store 9 stacks and search in a 5 block cubic "radius" for creatures to feed every 60 seconds.
From 1.15 to 1.20.1 Platter was developed for the Forge mod loader. As of 1.20.6 Platter will be developed exclusively for the NeoForge mod loader.
Replace the wood planks with other wood planks, iron or gold ingots, or stone to achieve other platter variants.
Yes.
This mod has been a learning experience for me, @bearsdotzone, as I attempt to wrap my head around forge mod development. As such, this mod would not have been possible without McJty's Mod Tutorials, and open source projects such as AppleSkin, Botania, Iron Chests, Railcraft, and Quark.
Particularly, under Appleskin's unlicense I used the code for network synchronization of hunger and saturation.
