<summary>🌋 Why can’t I make redstone clocks or huge farms?</summary>

Minecraft is not well-optimized, so to keep CubeCadia smooth for everyone, certain mechanics (like **redstone clocks**, **pistons**, or **massive mob farms**) are limited.\
This helps the server stay **lag-free and stable** 🌿

</details>

<details>

<summary>🐄 Why do some entities disappear or get limited?</summary>

Too many entities in one chunk cause lag.\
CubeCadia has optimized entity caps so your builds run smoothly:

### Notable per-mob caps (per chunk)

#### 👹 Hostile mobs

* **Zombie:** 6
* **Skeleton:** 10
* **Creeper / Spider / Cave Spider / Enderman / Slime / Blaze / Ghast / Hoglin / Piglin / Stray / Squid**: **15**
* **Wither Skeleton / Vindicator / Pillager / Evoker / Guardian / Shulker / Vex:** **10**
* **Phantom:** 5 • **Piglin Brute:** 5 • **Warden:** 5 • **Dragon fireball (projectile):** 5

#### 🐄 Passive & utility mobs

* **Cow / Horse / Llama / Goat / Fox / Rabbit / Donkey / Mule / Wolf:** **10**
* **Sheep / Mooshroom / Turtle / Tadpole / Sniffer (6):** **15** *(Sniffer: 6)*
* **Pig:** 15 • **Chicken:** 5 • **Cat:** 10 • **Bee:** 4 • **Camel:** **2**
* **Allay:** **3** (excess Allays have AI disabled)

#### 🐟 Aquatic mobs

* **Cod / Salmon / Pufferfish / Dolphin:** **10**
* **Tropical Fish / Squid:** **15** • **Glow Squid:** **10** • **Axolotl:** **10**

#### 🧑‍🌾 Villagers & traders

* **Villager:** 15 *(but remember: **12 total** villagers + traders per chunk max)*
* **Wandering Trader:** 3 *(counts toward the 12 combined cap)*

#### 🎯 Projectiles & technical (common ones)

* **Arrows:** 10 • **Tridents:** 5 • **Snowballs:** 5
* **Shulker Bullets / Small Fireballs / Wither Skulls:** 3
* **XP orbs:** **50**
* **Minecarts (plain):** 5

**Auto-Clean Behavior**

* Checks nearby chunks about **every \~30s** and removes **up to 10** extra entities per pass.
* **Tamed, named, and saddled** animals are **safe** from auto-clean.
* Tip: Spread farms across multiple chunks to avoid hitting caps.

**Good Practice Tips**

* Keep **breeding pens small** and **split herds** across chunks.
* For villager halls, plan around the **12 per-chunk combined** guidance.
* If you see despawns, you’re likely **over the cap**—spread out a bit.

<summary>🔥 Do lands or claims expire?</summary>

Yes! Lands automatically unclaim after long inactivity, depending on your total playtime:

| Playtime   | Inactivity Before Removal |
| ---------- | ------------------------- |
| <1 hour    | 7 days                    |
| 1–24 hours | 30 days                   |
| 1–30 days  | 90 days                   |
| 30–45 days | 1 year                    |
