Overview:
\nThe plugin monitors your server for large groups of entities and removes excess mobs when they exceed configured limits, while prioritizing important entities.<\/p>\n
Automatic Checking
\nEvery 5 minutes (300 seconds – configurable), the plugin:<\/p>\n
Scans all loaded worlds
\nGroups nearby entities within a 5-block radius
\nCounts entities of the same type in each group
\nRemoves excess entities if they exceed the limit<\/p>\n
Priority System
\nWhen removing entities, the plugin keeps entities with these characteristics:<\/p>\n
Highest Priority (100 points): Named entities (with nametags)
\nHigh Priority (80 points): Tamed animals (pets)
\nMedium Priority (60 points): Saddled mobs (horses, pigs, striders)
\nLow Priority (40 points): Baby animals
\nExtra Priority (30 points): Leashed mobs
\nBonus Priority (20 points): Mobs with passengers<\/p>\n
Entities with lower priority scores are removed first.<\/p>\n
If there are 50 chickens crammed in one area:<\/p>\n
Plugin keeps the 15 most important chickens (named, tamed, etc.)
\nRemoves the remaining 35 chickens
\nBroadcasts: “Removed 35 CHICKEN entities at spawn (100, 64, 200)”<\/p>\n
Commands<\/p>\n
\/farms search – Manually check for farms and remove excess mobs
\n\/farms reload – Reload configuration without restarting<\/p>\n
What It Prevents
\n\u2705 Lag from 100+ chickens in 1-block farms
\n\u2705 Server crashes from massive mob grinders
\n\u2705 Performance issues from crowded animal pens
\n\u2705 Exploits using spawner-based farms<\/p>\n
Result: Cleaner server, better performance, fair gameplay!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
