Animal Feeder+

Animal Feeder+ is a lightweight Fabric mod that adds a practical feeding trough for your farm animals.

Simply place the appropriate breeding food into the feeder, and nearby compatible animals will automatically use it only when they are ready to breed. This eliminates the need to manually feed every animal while preventing unnecessary food waste.

The feeder stands 1.5 blocks tall, visually connects to fences, and can serve multiple connected animal pens at once. Its height also helps prevent animals from jumping over it, making it a natural part of your farm’s fencing.

Designed to stay true to vanilla Minecraft, Animal Feeder+ provides a simple quality-of-life improvement without adding complicated automation or unnecessary mechanics.

How It Works

Craft and place the Animal Feeder.

Plank   Empty   Plank
Plank   Slab    Plank
Fence   Plank   Fence

Fill it with the correct breeding food for your animals.
Any compatible animals within range that are ready to breed will automatically consume food from the feeder.
Once an animal has bred, it will no longer use the feeder until its breeding cooldown has expired.

This keeps food consumption efficient and prevents animals from continuously eating your stored food.
