# Mob Stand Is Not Processing Mobs

### Check Pause Status

Verify the Mob Stand is not paused.

Open:

```text id="50s1d7"
Main Menu
    ↓
Pause / Resume
```

and ensure processing is enabled.

---

### Check Radius

Verify the configured radius is large enough to reach the intended mobs.

Open:

```text id="kce0j6"
Main Menu
    ↓
Radius
```

and review the current value.

---

### Check Filters

Verify the mob type is enabled in the appropriate filter menu.

Review:

* Adult Filters
* Baby Filters

If a mob is disabled in filters, it will be ignored.

---

### Check Leave Alive

Verify the Leave Alive setting is not preventing additional processing.

Example:

```text id="j11jv0"
Leave Alive: 10
```

If only ten matching mobs exist, no additional processing will occur.

---

# Mobs Are Being Ignored

### Cause

The mob type may be disabled in filters.

### Solution

Open:

```text id="yzr39t"
Adult Filters
```

or

```text id="jq4z32"
Baby Filters
```

and verify the desired mob type is enabled.

# Gravity Is Not Working As Expected

### Cause

Gravity may be disabled.

### Solution

Open:

```text id="r5g7t1"
Main Menu
    ↓
Gravity
```

and verify the current setting.

---

# Configuration Changes Are Not Taking Effect

### Cause

The configuration may not have been reloaded.

### Solution

Administrators can use:

```text id="db0vtg"
Admin Menu
    ↓
Reload Config
```

after making configuration changes.

---

# Version Status Shows "Unable To Check"

# Server Performance Concerns
