How To Reduce Mob Spawning on Your Minecraft Server

Important!

This method only works for servers running PaperMC (or its forks like Purpur and Folia). If you are running a standard Vanilla, Spigot, or Forge/Fabric server, these specific configuration files will not exist in your File Manager.

1. Log In to Your Panel

2. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

Cybrancee panel Minecraft files page, with files tab outlined

3. Select the ‘bukkit.yml’ File

Cybrancee server file manager bukkit yml location

4. Search for the Spawn Limits Section

5. Lower the Monster and Animal Limits

By default, the monsters limit is set to 70, and animals is set to 10. To significantly reduce lag without ruining the survival experience, delete those numbers and lower them. A great optimized setting is changing monsters to 45 and animals to 8.

It should look exactly like this:
