# Entity Limit

### What is the entity limit for mobs?

The entity limit exists for **all** mobs. This is to reduce lag for all players, as it does not take many mobs to create major lag issues for all players. U**nnamed mobs** are cleared every 5 minutes, so if you would like to protect the mobs of your farm or your pets, make sure they are name tagged!&#x20;

### How many mobs can I have before they are cleared?&#x20;

Global Rules: \
Every 5 minutes, all entities are cleared if there are more than 30 in 2 chunks. \
Every 5 minutes, all hostile mobs are cleared if there are more than 10 in a 1 chunk radius. \
\
To reiterate, if your mobs are name tagged, they will not be cleared!
