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

The farm is built in the End at least 128 blocks away from the main island, so the endermen can only spawn there. A platform is built for the endermen to fall onto from spawning pads built at least 43 blocks above the platform, with rings built upwards to prevent endermen falling onto an area that isn't the platform.How big should a enderman spawning platform be?
Additionally, it seems the mob cap for endermen in one area is 10, but I've gotten around 80 endermen in my enderman farm kill zone in Java. My farm is 200 blocks away from the island and the spawning platform is at about Y: 45.Minecraft Enderman 1 Hit Farm - Super Fast XP

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.)
