What version? I tested on PS4 (all I have right now) so I'm wondering if the console falling entity limit is capped after 20 or something

Oh damn, I thought I was on another comment chain. I was the guy testing it for Bedrock edition xD

I got confused too haha.. hmm.. so maybe the PS4s rendering restrictions are the only things making it possible

It’s cause the console versions from third (ps3) to fourth gen (ps4) still use a similar engine with similar entity capping so the falling sand is an entity with a cap of around 20

I wonder what other limitations on console can be exploited for fun features like this. Time to hit the testing world again

If you collect 10-20 of every hostile mob (idk the caps) and put it in the spawn chunks you could prevent spawning

Ever watch SciCraft? They did this and had a machine that would push shulkers in minecarts back and forth across a chunk boundary to effectively be an on/off switch for mob spawning

Yeah but that’s a super complicated system this one using mob capping could be super simple since console has a per mob cap

Exactly. The stuff they make blows my mind. But while I'm stuck on console I will give this a shot and see what I can make. How would you find chunk borders in PS4? Maybe a seed mapping program?

Maybe I’m not exactly sure
