Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 26.1–26.2Newest
Minecraft 1.20.5–1.21.11
Minecraft 1.19.2–1.20.4
Minecraft 1.19.1

⬇ Download for 26.1–26.2 ⬇ Download for 1.20.5–1.21.11 ⬇ Download for 1.19.2–1.20.4 ⬇ Download for 1.19.1

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Optimal Eat mod

This mod automatically stops eating once you've fully used an item.

In vanilla minecraft, you can continually eating a food item, even when you've fully used it and you only stop once you receive a packet from the server (which can take a bit of time as many high ping players know).

This mod was specifically designed for pvp gamemodes like UHC, OP and DiamondPot where eating downtime needs to be at a minimum!

Below is a showcase of Optimal Eat, it was produced on 1200ms to exaggerate the effect.
