Viewing Eating Animations in First and Third Person

Triggering Eating Animations

Once the mod is active in your game, eating food will no longer display only the standard particles. Your character model now features dedicated munching and chewing motions whenever food is being consumed.

To view the animation in action:

1. Place any edible food item into your main hand or off-hand.

2. Ensure your hunger bar is depleted enough to consume the item (or hold an item that can be eaten at full hunger).

3. Press and hold your use button (right-click by default) to begin eating.

4. Observe your character actively munching and chewing on the food item as it is consumed.

Adjusting Camera Angles for the Best View

While first-person perspective shows animated movement in your hands, the full character animation is easiest to see from an external viewpoint.

1. Press your camera toggle key (F5 by default) to switch to third-person front view.

2. Hold down the use button to eat your selected food item.

3. Watch the mouth and head animations run continuously until the item is fully eaten and the hunger restored.

4. Switch back to first-person view once finished.
