Optimal Eat

by sootysplash

Optimal Eat stops a food item from being eaten once it has been used, so a player is not stuck in eating downtime during fights.

What it does

Vanilla Minecraft keeps eating a food item until the player releases the key, even after the food has already been consumed. The mod detects the used item and ends the eating action on its own, which reduces the slowdown that follows. Optimal Eat is client-side only, so servers run without it and players install it alone. It needs Fabric API, Cloth Config API and Mod Menu, and its code is open source under the Apache License 2.0. Files cover 1.19.1 – 26.2 on Fabric.

Key features

  1. Automatic stop after use

    Eating ends once the food has been used, so the player is not held in the eating animation.

  2. Less eating slowdown

    Minimizes the movement penalty that comes with continuing to eat after a food item is consumed.

  3. Configurable through Mod Menu

    Settings are reachable from Mod Menu with Cloth Config API providing the configuration screen.

What the author says

This mod automatically stops eating once you've fully used an item. In vanilla minecraft, you can continually eating a food item, even when you've fully used it and you only stop once you receive a packet from the server (which can take a bit of time as many high ping players know).
