Server Performance & Limits

Server Performance & Limits

Veylor intentionally allows farms. To make that work for everyone, there are a few hard limits you should know before you spend three days building.

Spawners per Chunk

Maximum 15 spawners per chunk. If you try to place a sixteenth, the placement is cancelled and you get a message with an anvil sound.

A chunk is 16×16 blocks. If you’re planning a large spawner setup, spread it over multiple chunks—the limit applies per chunk, not per plot.

Entity Clear

Every 15 minutes the server clears certain creatures that belong to no one:

Affected: Zombies, sheep, silverfish, slimes, magma cubes.

Never affected:

• Item frames, armor stands, text displays
• All minecarts — including hopper, chest, furnace, TNT and spawner minecarts
• Boats and bamboo rafts, even when nobody is in them; chest boats are also kept
• Tamed, named and stacked animals, Pets, bosses

Oak saplings lying on the ground are also cleared—that’s the typical tree‑farm overflow that would otherwise stay forever.

Stacking

Mobs and ground items are automatically stacked instead of existing individually. How this works—and why lava farms still payout exactly as expected—is explained under Stacker.

Collecting Items

For farms that produce faster than hoppers can pull, there’s the Chunk Hopper: a collector for the whole chunk, with filter, shredder and sorting system.

AFK

After 7 minutes of inactivity you’re considered AFK, and after 15 minutes you’re teleported to spawn. No one gets kicked.

Important: §17 of the rules permits automatic farms as long as you are playing—not while you’re AFK. That’s the distinction.
