Graze
Graze lets farm animals find their own food, eat nearby mature crops and breed without hand-feeding, and it is available for NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1.
What it does
Once an animal is fed, Graze lets it seek out nearby mature crops of the matching kind and eat them on its own. Animals that have entered breeding mode reproduce naturally, so a player does not need to hand-feed each one. Auto Grazing and Auto Breeding are the two behaviors the mod adds, and the Vanilla Mob Cap keeps animal counts within the vanilla limits.
Graze is useful for automated farms and self-sustaining livestock setups, where crops and animals are kept together and need little attention. It runs on NeoForge only. Its files target 1.21.1, and the latest file is 1.0.0+mc1.21.1, published on 2026-02-20. The mod is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public.

What the author says
Let your livestock find their own food and reproduce naturally. Graze allows farm animals to actively seek out and eat nearby mature crops, automatically entering breeding mode once fed — no need to hand-feed them yourself.
