Plates
Plates are blocks that can hold and display food in them and can be interacted to eat from them or to open their GUI.

Plates act similar to carpets in regard to placing - can be placed on any block, but break without support.
Can be oriented on four cardinal directions and are waterloggable.
GUI can be opened by right-clicking on empty one or by shift-right-clicking on any. The plate has three slots: Main dish, Side dish and Extra dish.
Each slot can hold up to 16 items (can be changed in the config), but it doesn't allow overstacking if certain item's max stack is lower.
The placed food is rendered on the plate depending on what slots are filled (4 configurations total).

Plates are generally insta-breakable and will drop the food inside (including piston pushing and explosions).
However, crouch-breaking them will instead "scoop" them up WITH food inside. The food will render on the plate.

Right-click the plate to eat the food off of it.
The food can be eaten in three modes:
- Queue: all the food is eaten in the Main dish slot first, then in Side dish slot, then in Extra dish slot;
- Round Robin: each new right-click will take the food from the new slot. Clicks with no food eaten still count;
- Aiming (default): the food is eaten depending on where and crosshair is aimed at the time of right-click;
Any effects it has will be applied to the player, both beneficial AND harmful. In theory any custom logic from the mods should also work, provided it's encapsulated in the finishUsingItem() method.
By default, the player can only eat until they're full, but over-eating can be enabled in the config.

By default, only edible items can be places on the plates. This too can be disabled in the config, allowing to place anything on any plate.
See Customization for details.

Lastly, if enabled in the config, plates can become fragile. Don't walk on them.
Plates can be made out of:
- vanilla wood types (including nether ones and bamboo);
- iron, gold, diamond and quartz (two types);
- terracotta of all colors (both by dyeing plain one and crafting directly out of colored blocks);
- concrete of all colors;
- a few other materials.
All plates are crafted with the "bowl" recipe out of plate material. JEI is recommended for viewing the recipes.
"Item-material" (ingots/gems/quartz/etc.) produce 1 plate while "Block-materials" produce 6 plates.
Additionally, colored plates (like terracotta ones) can be crafted by coloring the base item.
