AutoEater is a client-side Fabric mod that automatically eats food for you when your hunger bar falls below a threshold you set — no more dying to starvation while mining or building.
Features
- Auto-eats when hunger drops below a configurable threshold
- Configurable hunger target (eat until this level is reached)
- Food priority modes: Best food first, Worst food first, or Custom priority list
- Food placement options: empty hotbar slot, replace held item, or offhand
- Saturation threshold trigger — eat before hunger even visually drops
- Emergency Golden Apple mode — auto-eats gapples below a set health level
- Combat safety mode — aborts eating when you take damage, with a 3-second pause
- Toggle hotbar-only mode (slots 1–9 or full inventory)
- Toggle harmful food (rotten flesh, spider eyes, poisonous potato, pufferfish)
- Optional HUD overlay
- All settings configurable via in-game commands or autoeat.json
Commands
All commands support tab auto-completion and work with .autoeat prefix on servers.
