Toss To Feed
by Beier
Toss To Feed lets passive animals eat food that a player tosses onto the ground, so tossing a handful of wheat draws nearby animals to it.
What it does
Passive animals in the world seek out and eat the breeding items they prefer when those items lie on the ground. Instead of feeding each animal by hand, a player can scatter wheat, seeds or other breeding food and let the animals come to it. The behavior is added as a natural ability for passive mobs, so it does not change how the animals otherwise act.
The mod is aimed at players who want animal husbandry to feel more organic, and at builders who set up automated breeding machines with redstone and droppers. A dropper that releases breeding items onto the ground can feed animals without any player present. The author notes that the mod is tested on Minecraft 26.2 and 26.3, and that it supports modded animals and breeding items that come from data packs without extra setup.
Toss To Feed is server-side only, so players join a server that runs it without installing anything. It requires Fabric API. Files are published for Fabric alone, for game versions 26.1 – 26.3, and the mod is released under the MIT License. The code is not open source.

Animals from other mods and breeding items added by data packs work without extra setup.
Extra configuration

How it compares
Feed All is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 – 26.1.2 that is client-side only, so only the client needs it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. Dispenser Breeding is also a Fabric mod for 26.1 – 26.1.2, server-side only, open source under the MIT License, so it covers the dispenser side of breeding without the ground-eating behavior. Auto Feed Animals is client-side only, open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, and published for 1.20 – 1.20.6.
