World Auto Feeder
by Itamio
World Auto Feeder lets a chest near livestock feed the animals inside its 8-block reach, so breeding pairs get fed without a player stepping in.
What it does
Place a chest within 8 blocks of the animals and fill it with the food they accept, such as wheat for cows, carrots for pigs and seeds for chickens. The chest is checked periodically, and only animals that are ready to breed and have a partner nearby are fed. Players do not have to hand-feed each pair while a farm grows.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it and only the server needs it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code, issue tracker and wiki linked from its public pages. Files target Forge for 1.12.2 only, and the latest build is 1.0.0, published on 2026-04-04.
Key features
Automatic breeding feed
Animals in range are fed from the chest, so breeding happens without manual feeding each time.
Chest-based food supply
The chest holds the food, and the feeder draws from it for every animal it can reach within its range.
Pair-aware feeding
Only animals that have a breeding partner are fed, which keeps food from being spent on lone animals.
Food for common livestock
Wheat, seeds, carrots, potatoes, beetroot, melon, pumpkin and golden apples or carrots are all accepted, depending on the animal.

Use cases
Passive farms
A farm with cows, pigs and chickens can keep breeding while the player is elsewhere, as long as the chest stays stocked.
Large breeding pens
Several chests placed around a pen can keep multiple groups of animals fed at the same time.
Who it’s for: Players who run animal farms on a Forge 1.12.2 server, and server owners who want livestock to breed with less manual work.
