The eating and drinking animations are positioned to the right of the screen when the taskbar setting "Use small taskbar buttons" is enabled in Windows 10, or at all times when using Windows 11.

This appears to be due to change in window size. Shrinking the window can produce the desired, centred animation.

Steps to replicate:

1.  Right click on your taskbar in Windows
2. Click "Taskbar Settings"
3. Activate the toggle "Use small taskbar buttons"
4. Open Minecraft and eat/drink something, the animation will be positioned to the right of the screen. It should be centred
