first bite animations

# 🍖 First Bite

**Eating in Minecraft finally looks like eating.**

First Bite replaces the vanilla food bob with real first-person animations for every food and drink in the game, including food from other mods. Food is drawn as rounded 3D shapes and eaten bite by bite.

> Available on **Forge and Fabric**!

## 🍽️ How things get eaten
– 🍗 **Meat** is gnawed off the bone
– 🍔 **Sandwiches and burgers** are held in both hands
– 🫐 **Berries and nuts** are popped in one at a time
– 🍦 **Ice cream** is licked
– 🌽 **Corn** is eaten like a typewriter
– 🍌 **Bananas and oranges** are peeled first
– 🍞 **Bread** is torn
– 🍰 **Cake and pasta** are eaten off a plate with a fork
– 🍜 **Noodles** are slurped off chopsticks
– 🥣 **Soups and stews** are spooned from a bowl
– 🪣 **Buckets** are chugged

## ✨ Little details
– 🔥 Hot food gets blown on before the first bite
– 💦 Juicy fruit splashes, crunchy food crunches
– 🤢 Rotten food makes you shudder
– 🍾 Bottles get their cork pulled (or their cap twisted off) before you drink
– 🔊 Custom sounds for biting, crunching, slurping, peeling and more
– ⏳ Eating takes a little longer so you can actually see it (configurable)
