AutoEater

Once hunger falls below a configurable threshold, the mod picks a food from the inventory and eats it. The target can be set so the player eats until a chosen hunger level is reached, and a saturation threshold can trigger eating before the hunger bar visibly drops. Food is chosen by priority: highest-value food first, lowest-value food first, or a custom list the player builds.

The mod is aimed at long sessions of mining, building or fighting where stopping to eat interrupts play. An emergency mode eats golden apples when health falls below a set value, and a combat safety mode cancels eating when the player takes damage, pausing for three seconds before trying again. Food can be placed into an empty hotbar slot, replace the held item, or go to the offhand, and a hotbar-only option limits selection to slots 1 to 9 instead of the full inventory.
