SimpleMobStacker is a powerful yet lightweight Bukkit/Spigot plugin that dramatically reduces server lag and clutter by automatically grouping (“stacking”) identical mobs and dropped items into single entities. It’s highly configurable, offers admin commands, and even includes debug and statistics features—all to give you a cleaner, smoother Minecraft experience.
Core Features
Core Features
- Mob Stacking
- Automatically merges nearby mobs (natural spawns, spawner spawns, or egg spawns) of the same type into a single “master stack”
- Enforces configurable rules: same age, same health if desired, per-world blacklists, and a maximum stacks-per-chunk limit
- Custom name tags show stack size (e.g. §e10x §fzombie), with drop-multiplication and respawn handling to preserve gameplay
- Automatically merges nearby mobs (natural spawns, spawner spawns, or egg spawns) of the same type into a single “master stack”
- Item Stacking
- Aggregates identical on-ground items into large virtual stacks (configurable up to 1,000+)
- Players picking up a stacked item receive the full quantity at once, with overflow handled gracefully
