Entity Culling
How does it work?
The limiting of entities is done using the Farm Limiter plugin. This plugin removes entities based on certain limits, defined by the configuration file.
The following image shows how grouping of entities works. Whenever the size of a group exceeds the defined limit for that entity, the entities are removed until the group is below the defined size-per-distance limit.
Limits
The distance is measure in a circle around the middle of the "group" of entities.
Custom limits
There are some entities that require custom limits. This could be because of resource-intensive AI's or other optimizations.

|---|---|---|
| Pig, Cow, Chicken | 24 | 16 |
| Sheep, Piglin | 24 | 10 |
| Iron Golem | 48 | 16 |
