Anti EXP/Mob Farming System

When an area of the world has too many mobs die within it in too quickly, or is fished in too much, the area will become "Overfarmed." Overfarmed areas have limitations placed on them to discourage players from endlessly, mindlessly grinding out hours of gameplay in monotonous tasks. We hope to encourage players to reach their goals in a more fun, gameplay-filled manner.

Areas that have grown excessive amounts of Sculk in a short time will also become overfarmed.

Areas that are "Overfarmed" will recover and return to normal once farming behavior in the affected area stops for a long enough time.
