Entity Limiter
EntityLimiter is a simple plugin that limits entities including mobs, animals and vehicles like boats & minecarts in a certain amount of radius you set it to. Supports 1.8 up to 1.20.4 (Paper, Purpur, Bukkit, Spigot and Folia 🍂)
Why should I get this plugin?
It helps prevent lag from too many entities which is generally common in Creative Servers that allow Spawn Eggs. This plugin also prevents dispenser spamming from a distance far away or even spamming entities by a portal if players tried to exploit the plugin.
