Customizing Plate Rules and Mechanics in Configuration

You can fine-tune how plates function in your world by editing the mod's configuration file.

Capacity and Eating Rules

Open the mod's config file in your Minecraft instance folder to adjust how meals are handled:

  • items_per_slot: Controls how many food items can fit into a single section of the plate.
  • eat_when_full: Toggle this setting to allow players to eat food directly off plates even if their hunger bar is completely full.
  • eating_mode: Modifies the interaction method for eating from a plate, such as requiring you to aim directly at specific food items.

Plate Physics and Allowed Items

You can also alter physical properties and display behavior:

  • allow_any_item: When enabled, removes the food-only restriction so you can place standard blocks and non-food items onto plates for decoration.
  • fragile_plates: Enable this setting to make plates shatter if a player or entity walks or jumps on top of them.
