Description of the Farm Limiter plugin:
Farm Limiter prevents players from creating anomalous mob farms by limiting groups of close creatures of the same type. This is a common problem on survival servers. The Farm Limiter is able to limit many types of mob farms, such as:Friendly mob farms with hundreds of creatures placed in a very narrow space.
One block wide automatic chicken farms that generate a lot of lag.
Mob grinders with spawners that spawn dozens of monsters when players aren't collecting them.
Farm Limiter plugin features:
- The plugin will periodically look for farms of mobs that are too large for the rules, and remove those that exceed them.
- The plugin will prioritize entities with certain characteristics (tamed, named, saddled, etc.).
- Option to completely ignore tamed or named entities.
- Customizable rules, check interval and broadcast message.
- You can disable all rules and use the plugin manually, periodically using "/farms search" to get a list of the largest groups of entities, and eventually remove them.

Here is how Farm Limiter "sees" entity groups, each color represents a different type (top view):Farm Limiter plugin commands:
/farm - Lists existing commands./farm reload - Reload the plugin.
/farm check - Instantly starts a periodic task to check farms of mobs and removes the excess number of entities. Tells the worker the number of deleted entities (even if the message is not broadcast).
/farm entities [world = current] [minTypeAmount = 10] - Enumerates the number of entities by type (including non-living ones) in the given world.
This command does not list the groups of nearby entities, it simply sums the number of entities by type.
| Parameter | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| [world] | your current world | World for analysis. |
| [minTypeAmount] | ten | Only organization types with amounts equal to or greater than this number will be displayed. |
/farm search <entityTypes> [distance = 5] [worlds = all] - Manual search for the largest groups of the specified entity types.
If the executor has permission to use /farm teleport, clickable text will be shown to teleport to the center of the entity group.
| Options | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| <entityTypes> | - | List of entity types to check, separated by commas (same format as in configuration rules). Don't use spaces! |
| [distance] | 5 | Distance used to determine whether organizations should be considered part of the same group. |
| [worlds] | All worlds | List of worlds to check, separated by commas (same format as in configuration rules). Don't use spaces! |
/farm teleport <world> <x> <y> <z> - Teleports to a specific location. Used by /farm's internal search to teleport to an object's location.
