lagprotector

**LagProtector** is a cozy little Paper/Folia plugin that helps your server stay calm when one corner of the world gets a bit too excited—big mob farms, chunky redstone, or chunks that quietly hoard way too many entities and tile blocks. **What you get** - **Per-chunk limits** for mobs and other entities, so one hotspot can’t tank everyone else’s TPS. - **Caps for mechanics-style blocks** (hoppers, furnaces, and friends) per chunk—and optional checks so pistons can’t shuffle tiles across chunk lines just to dodge the limit. - **Optional cleanup waves** for things already over the line—you’re not only blocking new spawns, you’re also tidying up. - **Ignore rules** for stuff players care about: named mobs, tamed pets, babies, geared armor stands, and more—so the plugin doesn’t feel mean-spirited. - **Folia-friendly** scheduling, so it plays nice with region threading. **Requirements** - **Paper** or **Folia** **1.21.4+** - **Java 21** on the server **Commands** | Command | Permission | What it does | | --- | --- | --- | | `/lagprotector reload` | `lagprotector.reload` (default: op) | Reloads `config.yml` and restarts the scheduled cleanup tasks | **Config** Everything lives in `config.yml`. For the full walkthrough—options, defaults, and how spawn limits interact with `EntityTypes`, `BlockTypes`, and `AutoClean`—check `docs/configuration.md` in the repo. **Build from source** `./gradlew shadowJar` → jar in `build/libs/`.
