Hey, whatever is needed to end the lag. Breeding animals, trading with villagers, or farming iron golems is not easy with 4 ticks per second. In fact, 4 TPS means everything slows down by a factor of five. 5 times less leather, 5 times less emeralds, and 5 times less iron. A more strict mob limit is better for everyone.

However, many players who are now veterans worked hard on working on their grinders to use as a way to gain xp levels. Will there be a change in that, since the player isn't actually having it breeded repeatedly causing more and more to spawn, but auto-spawned through a spawner instead,which can get crowed, but the player could immediately destroy them all through careful wiring or grinding swords.

Well, worthwhile farms were nice while they lasted.

I think you can also blame Mojang. I believe Minecraft is not optimized for multi core processing. Today, with how advancements in data processing come in parallel computing instead of faster clock speeds, video games will have to either stick with less everything or get in the multi threading scheme. The PS4 is said to include a fast 8 core processor. Minecraft can use only 1 core. Imagine if the server could run on 8 cores...

Edit: Some processes run in separate threads, but it's far less optimized than it can be.

I am confused is it just animals or all mobs. the title is starting to confuse me a lot.

That is probably true, but in my experience running Minecraft servers you can run it on a toaster processor and get by all right. The major bottleneck is disk access speeds and loading as much as possible into RAM. That being said, the billion cores Sony shoves into their gaming systems are a joke and are only there to make the system closed/proprietary and not to provide some cutting edge performance. But you just watch, they will give it a marketing spin that people will gladly eat up and pay top dollar for.

Not really, just that you have to constantly kill the skeletons instead of wait.
