The '''plate''' is a type of block (and associated item) that can be found in a wide variety of [[structures]], ranging from the [[Hobbit Hole|Hobbit holes]] of [[the Shire]], to the [[Rohan Mead Hall|mead halls]] of [[Rohan]], and the [[Dunlending Tavern|taverns]] of [[Dunland]].

==Obtaining==
You can also make plates yourself with two [[clay]] balls or two logs in a row to craft clay plates and wooden plates respectively. Note that in the [[Lord of the Rings Mod Renewed|renewed version]] '''only''', the wooden plate recipe yields eight plates, and they can also be crafted from log slabs (to yield four plates).

Now, fire those clay plates in a furnace or {{C|Furnace Like|forge}} to get stoneware plates. Repeat with the stoneware plates to get fine plates.

==Usage==
Once the plate has been placed on a block you can right-click it with a food item to place that item on the plate. You can stack up to 64 {{C|Food|food items}} of the same food type on a single plate. {{C|Cake-Like Foods|Cakes}} and {{C|soups}} cannot be stacked on plates.

Right-clicking a filled plate with something else or empty handed, will feed the player one piece. If you want to take a single piece, shift-right-click the plate. If you want to take all food and the plate, break the plate (left-click).

Plates, like [[pebble]]s, can be skimmed on water for fun. They rotate when thrown.

You can also wear plates on the head like a hat, and the plate will show food you are holding in your hand on your head, as shown to the left.

==Food models==
{{ROnly}}
In Renewed, some food items have special, 3D models when placed on a plate. These models include chicken (raw and cooked), bread, pumpkin pies, and the various soup and stew bowls.

You can use a resource pack to add special models for more items, or modify or remove the existing ones. This is done by editing the file <code>assets/lotr/models/item/plate_food/config.json</code>, which contains the entries that link a particular item ID to a particular model file.

==Combat==
Plates can also be thrown, causing minor damage to any {{C|Mobs|mob}} they hit, and breaking random glass or glowstone blocks that they fly through in a 5x5 corridor. [[Hobbit]]s can also throw plates at you. You can auto-shoot plates by dispensers.

The [[Achievements|achievement]] "'''Kitchen Brawler'''" is awarded for killing a Middle-earth NPC upon which damage has been inflicted only by thrown plates.

==History==
* {{Update|2}} added the first plate items, resembling the current fine and clay plates.
* {{Update|3}} made plates throwable.
* {{Update|5}} added {{VanillaLink|Dispenser}} support for plates, allowing them to be thrown by machines as well as players.
* {{Update|6}} made plates spin when thrown.
* {{Update|21}} added the ability to stack multiple identical food items on a plate and the ability to shift-click a plate to make one items of the food pop out.
* {{Update|27}} allowed plates to be skimmed on water.
* {{Update|34}} greatly reworked the manufacture of plates, adding wooden and stoneware variants and renaming the pre-existing plate item to a 'fine plate' which has to be 'cooked' from a stoneware plate. It also added the ability to wear plates upon the head.
* {{Update/Renewed|1.5}} added models (configurable by resource pack) for some food types when placed on plates, and allowed foods in [[bowl]]s to be placed on plates, as shown below.
