ZynAutoEat — Hands-free Auto Eat for Fabric & Forge

ZynAutoEat keeps your hunger full without stealing control from you. It automatically eats from your off-hand first, then main hand, then hotbar, and smoothly chains bites until full. It pauses the moment you right-click or open any GUI and resumes automatically afterward. Built as a lightweight client-side QoL mod, it works on servers that don’t have the mod installed.

Loaders: Fabric and Forge
This page hosts both builds. If a Forge build isn’t listed yet for your version, it’s in the pipeline.

FAQ

Will it eat “bad” foods (e.g., Rotten Flesh)?
Not if you blacklist them. The Settings screen ships with sensible defaults you can tweak anytime.
Does it work with custom modded foods?
Yes — if an item has a standard FoodComponent, it can be used (unless blacklisted).
Will it fight my right-click (RMB)?
No. The mod pauses immediately while you’re holding right-click and resumes after you release.
