Eating Animations Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to do anything to enable eating animations?
No, eating animations work automatically once the mod is installed. Simply eat food as normal and you'll see the visual bite marks and shrinking effect in real-time.
Can I see eating animations in my inventory?
Yes, open your inventory and watch food items change as you eat them. The animations display the same bite-by-bite progression you see in your hand.
Do modded food items get eating animations?
Yes, the mod uses global model overrides so foods from other mods automatically display eating animations without requiring additional setup or patches.
Why aren't my modded foods showing animations?
Make sure the mod is loaded after the mod that adds the food items. If animations still don't appear, the food item may use a custom model that conflicts with the global override system.
Does this mod affect eating speed or hunger restoration?
No, eating animations are purely visual and don't change how fast you eat or how much hunger food restores.
Can I disable animations for specific foods?
The mod animates all food items by default. Check the mod's configuration options to see if you can exclude specific foods from animations.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod is lightweight and shouldn't cause noticeable performance problems, though rendering many animated food items simultaneously may have minor impact on lower-end systems.
Do eating animations work with food from Forge mods only?
The mod includes assets for the Forge mod loader, but the global model override system can work with food from various mod sources as long as they use standard Minecraft food models.
What happens if I eat food while moving or in combat?
Eating animations play normally during movement and combat, showing the same bite progression whether you're standing still or moving around.
Can other players see my eating animations in multiplayer?
No, eating animations are client-side only and only visible to you on your own screen.
