QuickEat
by Luma
QuickEat is a Fabric client mod that picks and eats food from the hotbar when the hunger bar runs low.
What it does
When the hunger bar drops, QuickEat chooses a food item from the hotbar and eats it without manual input. Two selection modes are available: Saturation Mode favors foods that keep the hunger bar full for longer, such as Golden Carrots, while Hunger Mode favors foods that restore the most hunger points, such as steak. A continuous eating toggle keeps the mod eating until the hunger bar is full.
The mod runs on the Fabric loader and needs only the client, since it changes nothing on the server side. Builds cover 1.20 – 1.21.11 across 19 release versions, and the code is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, with the source code and issue tracker publicly linked. The English language file is included, and the most recent Fabric file, v1.0.1-1.21-fabric, targets 1.21.11 and dates from 2026-02-03.
