Installation

npm install mineflayer-eat

Usage

const mineflayer = require('mineflayer');
const Food = require('mineflayer-eat');

const bot = mineflayer.createBot({
  host: 'localhost',
  username: 'bot'
});

// Initialize the food module
const food = new Food(bot);

Default Food List

The module comes with a default list of consumable foods:

• minecraft:cooked_beef
• minecraft:cooked_chicken
• minecraft:bread
• minecraft:apple
• minecraft:golden_apple
• minecraft:porkchop
• minecraft:cooked_porkchop

How It Works

1. The module initializes when the bot spawns
2. Every 2 seconds, it checks the bot's hunger level
3. If hunger is below 20, it searches the inventory for food
4. When food is found, it equips it and consumes it
5. The process repeats automatically
