About this Mod

PictureπŸ„ Better Animal Feeding – Breeding Made Simple!

Requirements: Fabric API

⚑ About the Mod

Tired of struggling to feed animals in cramped farms? Better Animal Feeding solves one of Minecraft's most frustrating problems: feeding animals that are stacked together!

When you click on an already-fed, breeding, or baby animal with food, the mod automatically forwards it to the next unfed animal nearby. No more fighting with hitboxes, no more missed clicks – just smooth, efficient farming!

βœ… Perfect for:

  • Compact animal farms (24+ animals in a 1Γ—1 space!)
  • Mass breeding sessions
  • Players who value their time

🎯 How It Works

Vanilla Problem:
You have 20 cows in a pen. You click the first one with wheat β†’ it eats. You click again β†’ still the same cow. You move your mouse slightly β†’ nope, still blocked. You angle your view β†’ finally, the second cow! 😀

  • With Better Animal Feeding:
    You click ANY cow with wheat β†’ it eats. You click the same cow again β†’ food automatically goes to the next unfed cow. You keep clicking β†’ all 20 cows are fed in seconds! πŸŽ‰

πŸ”§ Features

Smart Food Forwarding:

  • Click on already-fed animals β†’ food goes to unfed ones
  • Click on breeding animals β†’ continues feeding others
  • Click on baby animals β†’ skips to adults

Zero Conflicts:

  • Doesn't change vanilla breeding mechanics
  • Compatible with other farming mods
  • Wolves, cats, and other tameable animals work as normal

❀️ Why You'll Love It

  • Save time – Feed 20+ animals in seconds, not minutes

  • Less frustration – No more wrestling with overlapping hitboxes

  • Perfect for farms – Designed for compact, efficient breeding setups

  • Lightweight – Just one simple mixin, no performance impact

πŸ“‹ Perfect For:

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Better Animal Feeding need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Better Animal Feeding as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does Better Animal Feeding require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Better Animal Feeding is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
