Starting from the latest version of this mod (1.8.1), the player model has a bizarre animation a few milliseconds before performing the eating animation, as if their entire body were spinning or something like that. It doesn't happen all the time, I think it only happens the first time you eat in your world after opening the game. For now, I haven't been able to recreate this bug in third person camera.
I might have an idea of whats going wrong, probably an issue with the now smooth rotation locking while the eating animation plays. I thought I caught all the issues around it, but apparently not.
