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.

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.



/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.



/farm teleport <world> <x> <y> <z> - Teleports to a specific location. Used by /farm's internal search to teleport to an object's location.
