----
Remember that any mob in Minecraft can cause issues in excess.
These limits do not stop lag from occuring. Instead, they serve as sorta deterrents before farms get out-of-hand.
This page is not meant to enable people in take farms to the extreme overall limit in mob count.
Rather, this page is meant to provide players with transparency and a resource to help them determine why mobs may be despawning within their base/farms.
