# Chunk Limits

To ensure a smooth and lag-free experience for all players, our server enforces **chunk-based limits** on certain entities and blocks. These limits help maintain server performance and fairness in gameplay. Below you'll find a breakdown of what these limits are and how they differ for players with the **Custom** donator rank.

\
\
\&#xNAN;**⚙️ What Are Chunk Limits?**

Chunk limits define the **maximum number of specific items or blocks** that can be placed **within a single chunk** (a 16x16 area in Minecraft). These restrictions apply regardless of who placed the items and are enforced automatically by the server.

**🧱 Limit Breakdown**

| Category                                               | Default Limit | Custom Rank Limit |
| ------------------------------------------------------ | ------------- | ----------------- |
| Tiles (e.g. chests, furnaces, barrels)                 | 250           | 350               |
| Hoppers                                                | 25            | 40                |
| Redstone-related blocks (repeaters, comparators, etc.) | 50            | 100               |
| Item Frames                                            | 100           | 150               |
| Armor Stands                                           | 10            | 15                |
| Spawners                                               | 6             | 6 (unchanged)     |

> ⚠️ **Note:** The **Custom rank** provides increased limits for most categories, but **spawner limits remain the same** for all players to ensure gameplay balance.

#### 💎 Why Do These Limits Exist?

* **Performance:** To reduce lag and ensure a smooth experience for everyone.
* **Fairness:** Prevents one player from using excessive resources in a small area.
* **Server Health:** Helps us maintain long-term server stability and uptime.

#### 🛡️ Want Higher Limits?

Consider supporting the server by purchasing the **Custom rank**, which grants higher limits on most chunk-restricted blocks and entities. It’s a great way to support server development while enjoying extra building freedom!
