Platter
by bearsdotzone
Platter is a Forge and NeoForge food mod that adds platter blocks, which hold food and feed nearby players and animals automatically.
What it does
A platter stores food in a set number of slots. Right-clicking it with an item puts that item on the platter, and sneak right-clicking removes the top item. Redstone can control the output: a platter stops dispensing food while it receives a signal, and it supports comparator output so its contents can be read. Wooden platters feed animals as well as players, while metal and stone platters only feed players.
Platter fits automated farms, feeding setups and survival bases where a player wants food handled without manual upkeep. Its defaults store nine stacks and search a five-block cubic radius for creatures to feed, with a 60-second cycle, and these values can be changed in the configuration. Platter is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for Forge and NeoForge across 26 release versions, 1.15 – 26.2.
Key features
Automatic feeding
Platters feed nearby players and animals on their own, so food does not have to be handed out by hand.
Redstone control
A redstone signal stops a platter from dispensing food, and comparator output reports its contents.
Material-based targets
Wooden platters feed animals and players, while metal and stone platters only feed players.
Configurable defaults
Storage size, search radius and feeding timing are set in the configuration, with defaults already chosen.

Use cases
Automated farm feeding
A platter placed among animal pens can keep the animals fed while the player works elsewhere.
Base food supply
Metal or stone platters near a base keep players nearby fed without a hand-filled store.
Who it’s for: Players who want automated feeding in survival and modpacks, and server owners who want food distributed without manual upkeep.
