So, basically today Factions was changed slightly, because of lag issues. The server was running on PeX which was apparently creating a lot of lag for the server, so Cyp decided to change to MySQL in hope that it would fix it. It indeed did fix the lag issues, but along with this he decided to add "ClearLag". With this, came something even more annoying than the lag. The amount of mobs able to spawn was decreased by a lot. Specifically with Blaze Spawners. Here is a video of a Blaze Grinder attempting to work, but due to the spawn rate of mobs, it wasn't allowing any of our Blaze's to actually spawn in. Proof that it wasn't allowing them to spawn? Watch the spawners closely. If you have any experience within Minecraft you will notice that you get spawn particles which appear every time the specified mob from a spawner is supposed to spawn. Within the video, this happens a couple of times and no Blazes actually appear? To conclude this suggestion, I'm basically asking if it's possible to change this. Allow more mobs to spawn in so our grinders aren't rendered useless. [IDEA] MergedMob (@Swift) This plugin you may have seen on other servers, what it does is merges mobs together to make it one entity like if 2 blazes would to spawn, it would combine them and rename it "x2 Blazes" and when you kill one, there would still be one blaze there.

This should be in the Discussion section, but it might be the way you put them *probably not*. But Support Anyways.
@Linkin Park. There is actually a way to increase the amount of mobs spawning and still have barely any lag as it is now. This plugin you may have seen on other servers, what it does is merges mobs together to make it one entity like if 2 blazes would to spawn, it would combine them and rename it "x2 Blazes" and when you kill one, there would still be one blaze there. Plugin Link: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/mergedmob.11399/ The only way to view this plugin is to login to Spigot, it is I believe $15. Support.
I allow this to be discussed further for possible addition information. Though, the conclusion of the thread is to suggest an idea. Honestly, I'm going to add this in then bring it up with some of the players on there tomorrow and see their opinions. Thank you for this.
If Cyp is willing to spend money for it, I'd appreciate it. Support because I'd like our skeles to stop shooting each other when I'm standing nearby.
Purchased MergedMobs. I've set the configuration and uploaded it on Factions. Plugin will be live on our next server restart. I also added this plugin for our other server Skyblock.net - Nice find. :D
Ooh, I'll have so check and see what it's like after the restart :D I would have supported anyways :P
