# Mob Spawning

Nearly all types of mob farms will work on Pixlverse, but there are some important things to note before building your farm.

## Quick Notes

* Any farms that rely on mobs moving through nether portals will not work.
* Mob spawning distances will be different from vanilla Minecraft.
* Mob drops are disabled if a mob dies from cramming.
* The server automatically limits how many mobs/blocks can be within a certain area. You can view more info on these limits on the [Mob & Block Limits](/gameplay-info/mob-and-block-limits.md) page.

## Distances

* The server simulation distance is set to 5 chunks. Mobs will spawn 24-64 blocks away from you instead of the vanilla 24-128. You can visually see this in the photo below:
