BiteSync
by jass.xy
BiteSync is a client-side Fabric mod that keeps a food or golden apple being eaten when the player briefly loses the use button.
What it does
When a player holds right-click on an item, eating starts as it does in vanilla. In BiteSync, once the eating progress has passed the threshold, the bite is treated as finished even if the finger slips off the button in the last moment. The default threshold is 90 percent, and it can be raised to 99 percent. Progress is measured in the item's actual use ticks, not in real time, so framerate and ping do not change it.
Several actions still cancel eating, as they do in vanilla: switching hotbar slots, swapping hands, dropping an item, dying, changing worlds or disconnecting. Opening an inventory or another screen cancels nothing, and the eating keeps going behind the menu. Attacking an air block or a block entity cancels the eating outright, and attacking never blocks the action. Releasing the button below the threshold cancels the eating like vanilla.
Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric. BiteSync runs on the client only, so players install it and servers do not need it. It is published for 1.21.5 – 26.1.2 across eight release versions, and the latest file, 1.0.1, targets 26.1.2. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Threshold-based finish
Once eating passes the set threshold, the item is completed even if the use button is released at that moment.
Adjustable threshold
The default is 90 percent, and it can be raised up to 99 percent for a stricter cutoff.
Vanilla-matching cancels
Hotbar switching, hand swapping, dropping, dying and disconnecting cancel eating as they do in vanilla.
Menus keep eating
Opening the inventory or another screen does not cancel eating, which continues behind the menu.

You're mid-fight, eating a gapple, 94% done — and your finger slips off right-click for a split second. The apple cancels, you start over, you die eating. BiteSync exists for exactly that moment. If you've already eaten at least 90% of an item and you accidentally release the use key, BiteSync just keeps the eating…
