Keep Eating

Keeps your eating progress when you release the use button for an instant. A misclick no longer forces you to start the food from zero

Description

Keep Eating

Release the use button for an instant and your food resumes — it does not start over.

Minecraft 26.3 · Fabric · Client + server · No Fabric API needed

😤 The problem

You are at 4 hunger points, mid fight, chugging a golden apple. Your finger slips off the button for a single tick, or a hopper GUI steals the click, or your mouse double-fires.

Vanilla throws away all the eating progress and makes you start from zero.

What this mod does

Keep Eating remembers how far along your food or potion was. If you press use again within 1 second, it picks up exactly where it left off.

Vanilla Keep Eating
Release the button for 2 ticks progress lost progress kept
Press use again restarts at 0% resumes at 60%
Interrupted by a hotbar slot change restarts resumes
Getting hit while eating restarts resumes
Food finished eating — memory cleared, no exploits

Works with

✅ Every food item — steak, golden apples, cake slices, soups, stews

✅ Every drink — potions, milk buckets, honey bottles, ominous bottles

✅ Any modded item that uses the vanilla consumable component

❌ Bows, crossbows, tridents, shields, spyglasses and other charged items are never touched

⚙️ Configuration

The file config/keepeating.properties is created on first launch.

Option Default What it does
grace_ticks 20 How long the progress is kept, in ticks. 20 = 1 second
require_same_hand true Only resume when you use the same hand again
require_same_item true Only resume with the identical item
debug_log false Logs every resume decision, for troubleshooting

📦 Installation

  1. Install Fabric Loader 0.19.5 or newer
  2. Drop the jar into your mods folder
  3. That's it — no Fabric API needed

Servers: install it on the server too. The client alone will show the animation resuming, but the server decides when the food is actually eaten.

❓ FAQ

Is this cheating on multiplayer?

No. The mod can only ever resume progress you already earned inside a 1 second window, and the server runs the exact same check. It can never make eating faster than vanilla.

Does it work on a vanilla server?

The animation will resume client side, but the server still eats at vanilla speed, so you will see a small mismatch. Install it on both sides for the real behaviour.

Can I change the 1 second window?

Yes, grace_ticks in the config. Set it to 10 for half a second, or higher if you like.

Other loaders / versions?

Right now: Fabric, Minecraft 26.3. Ask in the comments if you want another version.
