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.

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.

🐄 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
- Click on breeding animals → continues feeding others
- Click on baby animals → 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

 📋 Perfect For:
