No Feeding Baby
by gimi65536
No Feeding Baby is a Fabric utility that stops players from feeding baby animals, so their food is not wasted on young mobs.
What it does
The mod was written after its author saw flowers that were meant for adult bees being eaten by baby bees during breeding. Feeding is blocked for baby animals through a configuration file, which can work as a whitelist or a blacklist of identifiers such as minecraft:cow, with a list that decides which animals are affected.
Baby animals receive food only when both sides allow it. The server can enforce the rule, and when feeding is disabled on the server, the player sees a falsy feeding fact and the food is not consumed. Server operators at op level 2 or higher can change the settings with the nofeedingbaby commands.
Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin are required, and Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are optional. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. The code is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and is open source. Files cover 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 for Fabric, with 1.2.0+1.21.11 as the latest build for 1.21.11, published on 2026-03-14.

A list of identifiers sets which animals have feeding enabled or disabled.

What the author says
Someday, I was breeding many bees with flowers, and I noticed that many of the flowers are eaten by baby bees instead of adult bees. I cannot endure seeing that the precious flowers get eaten by baby bees, although the flowers are not precious at all in my server. So, I came up with the idea to write a mod to…
