SmartEat
SmartEat automatically manages food consumption so you can focus on playing without manually swapping items. It has two complementary systems: AutoEat silently selects and eats a food item whenever your hunger bar drops too low, and SilentOffhand lets you right-click to eat while holding a tool — without visibly changing your hotbar slot on your own screen or the server's.
The module is also smart about what it eats. Rather than blindly picking the nearest food, it prioritises high-value items when your health is critically low. Enchanted golden apples (Notch apples) are preferred below one threshold, golden apples below another, and instant-health potions below a third. Outside those thresholds it falls back to regular food, choosing whichever option restores the most hunger. This tiered priority system can make the difference in a tough combat scenario where every half-heart counts.
SmartEat integrates with the combat management system so eating does not interfere with your fighting rhythm. The NotDuringCombat toggle prevents any eating while you are actively in combat, and CombatPauseTime briefly suspends combat tracking each time a food item is consumed. For a fuller automated survival setup, consider pairing SmartEat with AutoBuff or AutoArmor.
