🐖Entity limiter

config_entity_limiter.yml

This configuration helps reducing enity counter in the server to avoid lag. This is an alternative to stacking plugins as they alter gameplay stacking entities into a single one. ServerBooster lowers down server lag just limiting entity groups without alterating the gameplay.

(Description of the option is in gray)

Example entityies limits

limits:
  # limits zombie villagers: 
  # Only 15 can spawn in a radius of 56 blocks (radius is set on the top of this page).
  # Only 4 can spawn in the same chunk.
  # Only 10 will remain on chunk unload. Others will be removed.
  zombie_villager:
    radius_max: 15
    chunk_max: 4
    cull: 10
  # limits enderman:
  # Only 7 can spawn in a radius of 56 blocks (radius is set on the top of this page).
  # Only 4 can spawn in the same chunk.
  # No enderman will remain on chunk unload. They all will be removed.
  enderman:
    radius_max: 7
    chunk_max: 4
    cull: 0

To avoid entities from being removed (like enderman farms entities and similar) you have to rename the entities using a nametag.

There are some methods to avoid entity removal:

• rename the entities using nametag

• put the entity on a vehicle (minecart, boat)

• make the entity Invulnerable (NBT tag)

• tame the entity (only dog, cat...)

• entity has an item equipped (armor, item in hand)

• is a Guardian or Elder Guardian
