AutoEat - Stay full, stay alive!

AutoEat automatically eats for you when your hunger drops, so you can keep mining, fighting, exploring, and building without interruptions. Built to stay lightweight, client-side, configurable, and friendly for survival gameplay and modpacks.

✨ Features

  • Smart auto-eat: configurable hunger trigger with optional "eat until full"
  • Restore slot: returns to your previous sword, tool, block, or hotbar item after eating
  • Smart food selection: considers nutrition, saturation, hunger waste, and current health
  • Panic mode: prioritizes premium food when your health is low
  • Golden food control: golden foods can be used normally or saved for emergencies
  • Food waste reduction: avoids using large food when a smaller option is enough
  • Modded food detection: automatically detects compatible vanilla and modded food
  • Custom Food List: allow or block individual foods with search, filters, and bulk actions
  • Presets: Default, Safe Survival, Combat, Explore, AFK Safe, and AFK Fishing
  • Damage pause: optionally pauses AutoEat after taking damage
  • Input pause: prevents conflicts with fighting, mining, placing, and manual item use
  • Weapon pause: optionally prevents food switching while holding a weapon or shield
  • Placement support: allows block placement while eating and resumes after a delay
  • Offhand support: optionally prioritizes food held in the offhand
  • Fishing-safe behavior: avoids pulling or reusing fishing rods while fishing
  • Riding support: configurable behavior for animals, mounts, boats, and vehicles
  • Water Breathing support: allows underwater eating when enough effect time remains
  • Hostile mob safety: separate detection ranges for melee and ranged enemies
  • Activity awareness: optional pauses while sprinting, airborne, swimming, or using menus
  • Configurable delays: separate timing controls for damage, input, placement, switching, and eating
  • Clean UI: organized settings, aligned controls, readable sliders, presets, and tooltips
  • Safe confirmations: resets and external links require confirmation
  • Client-side only: no server installation required
  • Modpack friendly: designed to work alongside other mods without unnecessary dependencies

📖 Usage

  1. Press J to open AutoEat Settings.
  2. Select a preset or configure your hunger, food, safety, and pause settings.
  3. Keep permitted food in your main hand, offhand, or hotbar.
