AFK Kicking

the only problem with that would be then the items are sitting there lagging away until they despawn.

Tiggy you afked at a iron golem spawned with over 200 villagers sitting on 1 block now, that is a lot of lag.
 I'd be fine with any solution that removes lag from the server, not that there is any that I can notice.

It's a minority who have 4 spawners together ..

And tiggy u should demolish urs it causes a lot lag.

We will be making changes to rules & code regarding hording mobs up like that. Likely to implement code which disallows mobs spawning in areas like that, and despawns mobs which have been idle for a long time from spawners etc

That works, thanks!

Indeed, some good idea's here that we were unable to think of. Another solution I thought of may be to limit the number of mobs spawned per spawner at a time to 10 or so. Will take a look at implementing either solution tonight or tomorrow - depending on how busy I am.

Aren't mob spawners already set to do that? 

I actually really like the idea of having mobs despawn after 5 minutes.  You might run into situations where you come upon a mob at 4:50, start attacking it, and it despawns before you kill it.  But that'll be a rare event, and a VERY small price to pay to fix such a large problem.

Mob throttling is now in place.

What is it set at, my blaze spawner only spawns 3-4 now its really anoying can it be bumped up a little?

[TarynMai]

No.

[optical]

Its set at 4 mobs of the same type in 4 blocks (2x2) area. Also spawner mobs only stick around for 3 minutes before despawning

[ivy2112]

Is it changed if u stand 128 blox from a mob that is despawned or is that changed to 64 for example ?

I totally agree with this change, good effort in lowering lag Opti
