How do I raise the mob capacity of my enderman farm?

I am several hundred blocks from the end island. However, I have only observed 24 entities at maximum. Near the end island, the mob cap is normal, but it drops when I go out into the void. Note that I am on a server.

How do I get the game to consider more chunks so the formula will give me the normal 70-some mob cap?

  • Are there other players in the end? What enderman farm design are you using? Is the server modded?

  • No, there were no other players in the end at the time of my using it. The server is not molded, and I am using docm77's endearment design. I also am somehting lkike 350-400 blocks out form land.

  • Do you have any under water caves or such ? Or is there a water leakage or something? As ender men hate water Jul 9, 2015 at 16:30

I believe the setting you are looking for is under game rules: maxEntityCramming. Adjusting this value should allow you more than 24 in a space. You can edit this through the chat if cheats are enabled, otherwise you will have to edit your game file.

    you could also increase the space where the endermen are crammed in, or add vines to the walls to avoid max entity cramming.

The server.properties files affects how your server behaves. The setting that affects monster spawning on a vanilla server is spawn-monsters, it can either be on or off. The setting view-distance affects how many chunks the server will push your way, but I don't believe this affects monster spawn rate. Default is 10, setting it higher may increase server lag.

if you're playing on a miltiplayer server, the mobcap might be taken up by other players on the server. you can use spigot or bukkit plugins to increase the mobcap i believe.

If you have a silverfish farm (an enderman farm with a silverfish in minecart in the middle) then I don't know. But if it is just normal then add a silverfish. If you need help with a silverfish using grinder look up a cube SMP video. (First season I think.)
