MobStacker

!(https://media.forgecdn.net/attachments/988/553/mobstacker-1.png)

MobStacker is a performance Minecraft mod to optimize entity handling, addressing a common cause of performance issues in vanilla and modded environments. By intelligently "stacking" similar mobs in close proximity, MobStacker significantly reduces server load and enhances client-side performance without compromising gameplay mechanics.

> 💡 Note: MobStacker preserves all loot and mob properties within stacked entities. Named mobs (via name tags) are exempt from stacking to maintain uniqueness.

## Key Benefits

1. 🚀 Server Performance Boost: Dramatically reduces entity processing overhead. 2. 📈 Enhanced Client FPS: Lowers strain on client-side rendering. 3. 🌐 Optimized Network Traffic: Minimizes entity data transmission. 4. 🎮 Cleaner Gameplay: Reduces visual clutter in mob-dense areas. 5. 💾 Memory Usage Reduction: Lowers overall memory footprint.

## Performance Improvement

While actual performance gains vary based on server specifications, player count, and mod configurations, MobStacker can provide substantial improvements, especially in environments with:

• High mob density
• Numerous entity-adding mods
• Large, active player bases

> 🔗 Note: > - MobStacker has a built in configurable spawn cap module to reduce mob spawns per chunk.
