Install

npm install mineflayer-auto-eat

Warning: This package is ESM only and does not support CommonJS.

Example

import { createBot } from 'mineflayer'
import { loader as autoEat } from 'mineflayer-auto-eat'

const bot = createBot({
    host: process.argv[2] || 'localhost',
    port: process.argv[3] || 25565,
    username: process.argv[4] || 'bot',
    auth: process.argv[5] || 'microsoft'
})

bot.once('spawn', async () => {
    bot.loadPlugin(autoEat)
    bot.autoEat.enableAuto()

    bot.autoEat.on('eatStart', (opts) => {
        console.log(`Started eating ${opts.food.name} in ${opts.offhand ? 'offhand' : 'hand'}`)
    })

    bot.autoEat.on('eatFinish', (opts) => {
        console.log(`Finished eating ${opts.food.name}`)
    })

    bot.autoEat.on('eatFail', (error) => {

API

Properties

bot.autoEat.enabled

Boolean value indicating whether the auto-eat utility is enabled or disabled.

bot.autoEat.isEating

Boolean value indicating whether the bot is currently eating or not. This value should not be manually set.

bot.autoEat.opts

This object holds the configurable options for the auto-eat utility.

{
  priority: "foodPoints",
  minHunger: 15,
  minHealth: 14,
  returnToLastItem: true,
  offhand: false,
  eatingTimeout: 3000,
  bannedFood: ["rotten_flesh", "pufferfish", "chorus_fruit", "poisonous_potato", "spider_eye"],
  strictErrors: true
}

bot.autoEat.foods

Returns the foods registry from the bot, which contains all food-related information from the Minecraft data.

bot.autoEat.foodsArray

Returns an array of all available foods in Minecraft from the bot's registry.

bot.autoEat.foodsByName

Returns an object mapping food item names to their properties (e.g., saturation, foodPoints).

Methods

bot.autoEat.setOpts(opts: Partial<IEatUtilOpts>)

Allows you to modify the configuration options for the auto-eat utility dynamically.

bot.autoEat.setOpts({
    minHunger: 10,
    priority: 'saturation'
})

bot.autoEat.eat(opts: EatOptions)

Manually triggers the eating function. If options are not provided, it will automatically pick the best food based on the current options.

bot.autoEat
    .eat({
        food: 'apple', // optional
        offhand: true, // optional
        equipOldItem: false, // optional
        priority: 'saturation' // optional
    })
    .then(() => {
        console.log('Successfully ate the food!')
    })
    .catch((err) => {
        console.error('Failed to eat:', err)
    })

bot.autoEat.enableAuto()

Enables automatic eating based on the bot's hunger and health levels. The bot will automatically check if it needs to eat during each physicsTick.

bot.autoEat.enableAuto()

bot.autoEat.disableAuto()

Disables the automatic eating functionality.

bot.autoEat.disableAuto()

bot.autoEat.cancelEat()

Cancels the current eating action if the bot is in the process of eating.

bot.autoEat.cancelEat()

Settings

IEatUtilOpts

These options define how the EatUtil behaves:

• priority (FoodPriority): Defines the priority for choosing food. Acceptable values are "foodPoints", "saturation", "effectiveQuality", and "saturationRatio". Default is "foodPoints".
• minHunger (number): If the bot's hunger is less than or equal to this value, the bot will attempt to eat. Default is 15.
• minHealth (number): If the bot's health is less than or equal to this value, the bot will prioritize eating food with higher saturation. Default is 14.
• bannedFood (string[]): An array of food names that the bot is not allowed to eat. Default includes "rotten_flesh", "pufferfish", "chorus_fruit", "poisonous_potato", "spider_eye".
• returnToLastItem (boolean): If true, the bot will re-equip the previous item after eating. Default is true.
• offhand (boolean): If true, the bot will use the offhand to eat. Default is false.
• eatingTimeout (number): The timeout (in milliseconds) for completing the eating action. Default is 3000.
• strictErrors (boolean): If true, errors during the eating process will be thrown. Otherwise, they will be logged to the console. Default is true.

EatOpts

These options are provided to the eat method to override default behavior.:

• food (FoodSelection): The food item to eat. If not provided, the bot will automatically choose the best food based on the current options.
• offhand (boolean): If true, the bot will use the offhand to eat. Default is false.
• equipOldItem (boolean): If true, the bot will re-equip the previous item after eating. Default is true.
• priority (FoodPriority): Defines the priority for choosing food. Acceptable values are "foodPoints", "saturation", "effectiveQuality", and "saturationRatio". Default is "foodPoints".

Events

• eatStart: Emitted when the bot starts eating an item.

bot.autoEat.on('eatStart', (opts) => {
    console.log(`Started eating ${opts.food.name}`)
})

• eatFinish: Emitted when the bot finishes eating.

bot.autoEat.on('eatFinish', (opts) => {
    console.log(`Finished eating ${opts.food.name}`)
})

• eatFail: Emitted when the bot fails to eat due to an error.

bot.autoEat.on('eatFail', (error) => {
    console.error('Eating failed:', error)
})
