Pesky Seagulls
Pesky Seagulls adds seagulls that steal food from players and fly off with it, and players can chase them down to get the food back.
What it does
Seagulls join the world as mobs that watch for food. When one spots a player holding something edible, it can snatch the item and fly away with it. Interacting with a seagull that has taken food returns the item to the player, so the theft can be undone by catching the bird. Seagulls also eat food themselves, which is the other half of their behavior.
The mod is a Fabric mod for Minecraft Java Edition 1.20.4 – 1.21.11, covering six release versions with the latest file for 1.21.11. Client and server both need it, so players and the server run the same seagulls. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public links for the source code and issue tracker. It was first published on 2023-12-31 and last updated on 2026-07-29. The mod was made for Modfest 1.20.
Key features
Food theft
A seagull can take food from a player and fly away with it, which makes the food harder to keep.
Recovering stolen food
Interacting with a seagull that holds food gives the item back, so the bird can be chased down and caught.
Eating food
Seagulls eat food on their own, so the mod's birds are more than a nuisance that only grabs items.

Use cases
Adding nuisance mobs to a survival world
Players who want bothersome wildlife near their farms and bases can add seagulls that compete for food.
Chasing thieves on a server
On multiplayer servers, players can recover items from seagulls, which gives the theft a practical way to be undone.
Who it’s for: Players who want a mob that harasses them for food, and server owners who want a light, cursed addition to a Fabric world. Both sides need the mod installed.
