Block and Entity Limits
In order to maintain server performance, there are limits on how many blocks/entities of a certain type can exist in a chunk. If a block limit is exceeded, the server will send the player a message that the limit is full and prevent the placement of the block. If an entity limit is exceeded, the server will despawn an applicable entity to maintain the limit amount.
