# Radius Settings

The Radius setting controls how far a Mob Stand searches for nearby mobs.

Adjusting the radius allows you to balance coverage, efficiency, and farm design.

---

# What Radius Does

The Mob Stand scans for matching mobs within its configured radius.

Only mobs located within this area are eligible for processing.

---

# Increasing Radius

A larger radius allows a Mob Stand to cover a wider area.

Benefits:

* Covers larger farms
* Detects mobs farther away
* Reduces the need for multiple Mob Stands

Considerations:

* May include mobs you did not intend to manage
* May overlap with other Mob Stands

---

# Decreasing Radius

A smaller radius limits the Mob Stand to a more focused area.

Benefits:

* Greater precision
* Easier farm separation
* Better control over specific mob groups

---

# Choosing a Radius

The ideal radius depends on your farm design.

### Small Farms

Use a smaller radius to target a specific enclosure.

### Large Farms

Use a larger radius to cover the entire farm area.

### Multiple Mob Stands

When using several Mob Stands nearby, consider reducing radius values to prevent excessive overlap.

---

# Radius Limits

Server administrators may configure a maximum radius.

If a radius exceeds the server limit, the Mob Stand will automatically use the highest allowed value.

---

# Tips

* Start small and increase as needed.
* Avoid unnecessarily large radii.
* Verify the Mob Stand is affecting the intended mobs.
* Use filters alongside radius settings for maximum control.
