Fixed tooltip and status-message layering. - Fixed reset confirmation being embedded over the Food List instead of using a dedicated screen. ### Stability - Fixed potential invalid state after death, respawning, disconnecting, or changing worlds. - Fixed potential null-state issues during world transitions. - Fixed unnecessary repeated configuration writes. - Fixed an unused internal value reported by development tools. - Fixed an unused interface helper reported by development tools. ## Removed - Removed the old embedded Food List reset popup. - Removed direct browser opening from Donate, Discord, and CurseForge buttons. - Removed raw and unclear setting labels. - Removed uneven automatic column balancing from Advanced Settings. - Removed redundant food-registry scanning. - Removed unused interface code and development warnings. - No existing AutoEat gameplay features were removed. ## Presets AutoEat includes the following presets: - **Default**: Balanced behavior for normal gameplay. - **Safe Survival**: Prioritizes safety around hostile mobs. - **Combat**: Uses combat-oriented pauses and low-health food handling. - **Explore**: Reduces interruptions while traveling. - **AFK Safe**: Only eats under safer, more controlled conditions. - **AFK Fishing**: Avoids interrupting fishing actions. Preset settings can still be customized manually after selection. ## Notes - AutoEat remains a client-side-only mod. - Server installation is not required. - Food is selected from the main hand, offhand, and hotbar. - Existing configuration files remain supported. - Backpack options are available in the interface but do not currently move or extract food from backpacks. - Availability depends on the Minecraft version and mod loader listed on the downloaded file. - Backing up an existing configuration before a major update is recommended.
