# Server Changes

## Setting Changes

## Performance Changes

Some of the normal Minecraft settings, as well as Paper/Spigot settings have been tweaked to ensure everyone has an amazing experience on the server. Some settings and a few notable changes include:

* Difficulty is set to hard
* Mobs despawn at 96 blocks from a player (default: 128 blocks)
* Mobs spawn up to 64 blocks from a player (default: 128 blocks)
* Mobs are adjusted to spawn equally between online player
* Item despawn rate is 4 minutes (default: 5 minutes)
* Select items despawn in 2 minutes instead
  * Stone, Andesite, Granite, Diorite, Cobblestone, Netherrack, Grass, Dirt, Gravel,\
    Sand, Red Sand, Bamboo, Cactus, Pumpkin, Melon, Sugarcane and Kelp
  * This option has been chosen to avoid having a plugin remove ground items
* To help offset the despawn changes, a corpse will be created upon death. This corpse will\
  stay at your death location for 10 minutes, and will only be lootable by you.
* The view distance has been increased from 10 chunks up to 16. Setting your view distance\
  higher than 16 will have no effect.
