Features:
- Per-entity-type limits — Configure a maximum spawn count for any of the 120+ Bukkit EntityTypes (mobs, minecarts, boats, projectiles, armor stands, and more) without touching any code
- Area scan — Counts entities not just in the spawn chunk, but across a configurable square scan area (e.g. 5×5 chunks), making it impossible to bypass limits by spreading farms across chunk borders
- Tick-scoped cache — Entity counts are cached per-tick and incremented on each allowed spawn, keeping CPU usage minimal even under heavy spawn pressure
- Opt-in in-game alerts — Staff can individually toggle real-time notifications when a limit is exceeded, with a configurable anti-spam cooldown so your chat stays clean
- Console log throttling — Violation logs are rate-limited per chunk and entity type — no more hundreds of repeated warnings flooding your console
- Kick on detect — Automatically kicks the responsible player when a Wither or Snow Golem is built past the configured limit, using block-placement attribution to identify who placed the trigger blocks
- Bypass permission — Exclude trusted players and staff from all checks with a single permission node
- Folia support — Fully compatible with Folia's regional thread scheduler
- Zero dependencies — Ships as a single standalone jar with no external plugin requirements
