Portalfarm Fix
Fixes issues with portal farms despawing mobs in multiplayer!
About this Mod
Portalfarm Despawn Fix
A micro-mod for Fabric that fixes a common issue where mobs transported through nether portals on multiplayer servers would immediately despawn when there are players in the destination dimension. This mod prevents mobs from despawning in portal farms by setting an upper bound to the despawning check.
Vanilla behaviour:
Mobs that are x blocks away from a player despawn immediately
Adjusted behaviour:
Mobs that are x blocks away, and less than x * 1.5 blocks away despawn immediately
Notes:
- Based on the original mod Portalfarm Despawn Fix
- Created for use in multiplayer, will do nothing in singleplayer
- While the mods name contains portal, this mod does not alter portal mechanics in any way. It is named this because it fixes a mechanic most commonly seen when using portal based farms
