Optimal Eat Mod (1.21.1, 1.20.1) – Automatically Stops Eating When You Have Fully Used An Item
The way eating in Minecraft works is slightly complicated. When you eat an item in the game, the eating animation does not actually stop until you receive a packet from the server that tells the client that you have actually finished eating the item. On servers with high pings, this will lead to longer eating times. Optimal Eat Mod is here with the solution. This mod makes it so that you automatically stop eating once you’ve fully used an item.
