Auto Feeder
by Mike
Auto Feeder is a Fabric utility that feeds animals and other nearby entities with food held in the player's hand.
What it does
Once enabled, the mod feeds entities inside a cube centered on the player, and the radius of that cube is set in the options. Feeding can be limited to baby animals, to adult animals, or to both, and each of these can be switched on or off separately. An interval option lets the mod feed entities only every set number of seconds, instead of continuously, and the whole mod can be turned off without removing it.
The feeding action is bound to a key. The key is found in the Controls settings under the Auto Feeder category, and a player can assign it there. While the key is pressed or held, nearby entities are fed with the food the player holds, so the feature works on demand rather than in the background.
Auto Feeder is a client-side only mod, so it runs on singleplayer and on multiplayer clients without any server installation. It is published for Fabric only, with files covering 1.19.2 – 26.2, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu are required and must be installed alongside it.
Key features
Area feeding
Nearby entities are fed inside a cube around the player, with its size set by a feeding range option.
Baby and adult toggles
Babies and adults can be fed or skipped separately, so a farm can target only the group it needs.
Timed interval
When enabled, feeding happens once every set number of seconds instead of continuously.
Keybind trigger
A key in the Controls menu feeds entities while it is pressed or held, using the food in hand.

Use cases
Breeding farms
Animal pens can be kept fed without the player walking through each one, which suits breeding setups.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who keep livestock or breed animals in a base and want a key that feeds them when needed.
How it compares
No Feeding Baby is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, open source, and it can run on either side. It only stops babies from being fed, while Auto Feeder is client-side only and feeds on a key press. WinKey disable and Auto Clicker are both client-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.21.4 – 26.3; they change keyboard and click handling rather than feeding entities.

What the author says
Go to Options => Controls => Key Binds and locate the Auto Feeder category to set a key bind. Once set you should be able to simply use the new key bind to feed any nearby entities when holding food.
