Even that, doing it too much will increase rendering work. Which may tank performance on low power computers or those with big modpacks.

Just fill in every hole like a big boy

baby zombies also small slimes if it's a slime chunk patch up every layer

I man, a single torch solves this issue.

I'd rather zombies in a sealed pit contributing to the spawn cap than zombies where they can wreck my shit

I'm unbelievably lazy and this is what I do. Torch on every surface and then a patch of grass. Never had a problem.

I give people playing Minecraft with me the same warning I give my partners.

This is a blanket warning that everything I build on is chaotic in the same way my mind is, and any time you spend in my sandbox is time you spend rolling the dice on a fun new disaster.

The issue is the server doesn't use plugins since they had lots of issues after each update while using plugins and the maintainers decided it wasn't worth it to maintain that. So as is it only has a script to minitor chat for commandts like :home :spawn :warp etc. and is otherwise completely vanilla.

There are some downsides like that villagers don't breed but they also do give out spawn eggs and occasionally spawners, so it's still reasonably easy to renew villagers. Big downside is that farmers can't replant crops, so all crop farms are manual.

Vintage Story is nice but fuck those bears. Zero chill and you either have to relocate or do continuous kamikaze charges just to get rid of them.
