This is a Fabric mod that makes animals pathfind towards items on the ground as if they were being held by a player. For example, cows will walk towards wheat items on the ground and chickens will move towards seeds. They will still pathfind towards players holding these items, but they will prioritize the closest item, whether it's held or on the ground. This can be used for automation or just convenience while farming.
There will never be a Forge port, so don't bother asking.
