**⚙ BUILD FOR THE SERVER YOU SHARE** A machine is not successful if everybody else pays for it in lag. The server is already trying to stop their hearts; it does not need help stopping the ticks.
## Practical limits - Keep passive mobs to **50 or fewer per chunk**. - Avoid excessive item streams, villagers, minecarts, hoppers, portals, or always-running redstone clocks. - Shut down farms when storage is full or nobody is using them. - Do not build AFK farms or automation that bypasses intended play or harms performance. - Ask staff before committing to an unusually large technical project. Staff may pause, limit, move, or remove a build that threatens stability, even when every individual component is obtainable in survival. --- ## Public farms Public farms belong to the community. Replant or reset them, do not empty every reserve, and do not AFK in a way that prevents others from using the farm or warp. --- ## The landscape Avoid floating treetops, lava casts, pointless craters, abandoned scaffolding, and visible resource scars. Restore temporary work sites and replant trees where practical.**Good engineering is survivable:** efficient enough to be useful, controlled enough to stop, and tidy enough that it does not become the next server-wide incident.
