It focuses on controlling the number of mobs in specific chunks to maintain a balanced and enjoyable gameplay experience. The plugin offers various features and extensive configuration options to customize how mobs spawn, affect the in-game environment, and provides a way to limit excessive mobfarms while still keeping the vanilla feeling during normal gameplay.<\/p>\n<p>It does so by assigning a &#8220;heat&#8221; value to every chunk. This score gets increased whenever a mob spawns or dies, in both the chunk where it spawned and where it died. If this score reaches a configurable threshold, all mob spawning in that chunk is suspended until the score is below the threshold again.<br \/>\nAdditionally you can also choose to restrict item\/xp drops when the score exceeds the limit.<\/p>\n<p>## Reset Timer<\/p>\n<p>The Timer has two different operating settings<\/p>\n<p>* `reset-mode: 0` &#8211; Heat score will be reset every `reset-timer` minutes<br \/>\n* `reset-mode: 1` &#8211; Heat score will only reset if the chunk has had no activity in the last `reset-timer` minutes<\/p>\n<p>## Commands<\/p>\n<p>* `\/chunkheat` &#8211; Shows the heat values of all Chunks<br \/>\n* `\/chunkheat get` &#8211; Shows the heat value of the Chunk you&#8217;re currently standing in<br \/>\n* `\/chunkheat reload` &#8211; Reload the Plugin&#8217;s
