About this Mod
🐄 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!
✅ Perfect for:
- Compact animal farms (24+ animals in a 1×1 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 → it eats. You click again → still the same cow. You move your mouse slightly → nope, still blocked. You angle your view → finally, the second cow! 😤
- With Better Animal Feeding:
You click ANY cow with wheat → it eats. You click the same cow again → food automatically goes to the next unfed cow. You keep clicking → all 20 cows are fed in seconds! 🎉
🔧 Features
Smart Food Forwarding:
- Click on already-fed animals → food goes to unfed ones

- Wolves, cats, and other tameable animals work as normal
