Hey all!
Here is a small collection of bug fixes from over the last week.
This has been active for about a week now with very few complaints but ultimately allows us to better control drops from farms and reduce load on private islands.
It is also worth noting that breaking chests filled with items should still be fine with this change but we do not guarantee it will always work. Best to just take items out by hand.
Overall this change will make a positive improvement to server performance and prevent extra load from unneeded entities whilst leaving players largely unaffected.
And that's it for today, thanks again!

Notes on the Entity Limiter
This is pretty simple in comparison to the previously mentioned physics limiter but here we go.What does this mean?
Basically, when an entity spawns into the world (either mob or item) it is added to a global counter of how many entities of that type can exist at any given time. Once this limit has been reached new entities of that type will not spawn in the world.This has been active for about a week now with very few complaints but ultimately allows us to better control drops from farms and reduce load on private islands.
What to expect.
Certain entities like mob drops or Cactus will now have their total limited when a large number of them are in the world space. This shouldn't affect average players but is mainly aimed at extremely large farms or people abusing lots of entities to lag servers.It is also worth noting that breaking chests filled with items should still be fine with this change but we do not guarantee it will always work. Best to just take items out by hand.
Overall this change will make a positive improvement to server performance and prevent extra load from unneeded entities whilst leaving players largely unaffected.
And that's it for today, thanks again!
