Limit Far Spawn
✘ Mod limits the appearance of mobs, the distance in chunks from the player
About this Mod
The mod is designed for optimization, mobs will not spawn further than you have limited.
You choose the limit distance in chunks via the configuration or command.
This should improve tps and stabilize fps.
By default, mobs spawn 8 chunks away from you.
This is the mod config:
#Limit Far Spawn settings
#Radius in chunks around the player where entities can spawn (0-32).
#Range: 0 ~ 32
spawnRadiusChunks = 8
#List of entity IDs to ignore spawn radius restrictions (e.g., 'minecraft:villager').
ignoredEntities = ["minecraft:villager", "minecraft:pillager", "minecraft:vindicator", "minecraft:evoker", "minecraft:ravager", "minecraft:illusioner", "minecraft:ender_dragon"]
- If you set it to 0, mobs will not spawn.
- If you set it to 1, mobs will spawn 1 chunk away from you.
- The configuration contains ignored mobs that will spawn as usual.
There is a command to not change the spawn limit in the config:
/lfs 8 - the number is chunks
