π AutoEat | Automatic Eating
AutoEat is a lightweight and convenient Paper plugin that automatically consumes food when a player's hunger level drops.
Once AutoEat is enabled, players no longer need to manually right-click food every time they get hungry. The plugin automatically checks the food held in the player's main hand or off-hand and consumes it when needed.
No client-side mods or resource packs are required.
