Plenty Plates
by Fuzs
Plenty Plates adds several new pressure plate types, each detecting a different kind of entity, and lets players configure every plate after it is placed.
What it does
Each new plate reacts to a specific group: obsidian plates respond to players and can be filtered by player name, cobblestone plates respond to mobs and can be filtered by mob type, and mossy cobblestone plates respond to items so specific items can be excluded. Stone brick plates tell adults and babies apart, mossy stone brick plates can be restricted to villager professions, and chiseled stone brick plates trigger only for sheep with a chosen wool color. The plates draw on the detector designs of the Railcraft mod, and the author credits Myrathi's ObsidiPlates as an earlier inspiration.
The new plates can be placed on all six faces of a block, as buttons can. Shift and right-clicking a plate opens a menu where a whitelist or blacklist filter is set, and the plate can be made silent, shrouded or set to emit light. Settings are stored in configuration files, one per side, and the mod can be set up in-game through a mod menu. Plenty Plates is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 10 release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.21.5. It runs on client and server, so both need it.
Key features
Entity-specific plates
Separate plates detect players, mobs, items, villagers and sheep, each with its own filtering options.
Filtered detection
Filters limit a plate to chosen player names, mob types, items, villager professions or wool colors.
Whitelist and blacklist menu
Shift and right-clicking a plate opens a menu for setting its filter mode and entries after placement.
Silent, shrouded and lit plates
A plate can be made silent, hidden or set to emit light, which changes its look and sound without changing its trigger.
Six-face placement
New plates attach to any of the six faces of a block, in the same way as buttons.
