    So for anyone that has an XP farm, they have to love the gold blocks as gold blocks capture/store mobs. The only problem is they only stack to 64 mobs and after that point spawners disable and that mob won't spawn. I was thinking, could we have it so we could stack gold on top of each other for even more mobs?
    Ex: I have 2 gold blocks on top of each other, now I can have 128 mobs. If I have 3 gold blocks on top of each other, I can have 192 skeletons. Etc.

    I haven't got to play PVP yet, but from what I've read this is a good idea.
    Whatever mob capturing is...

    I thought the whole reason of sticking with 64 mobs was to prevent lag.

    Correct, condensing +64 mods in to such a small area (1 block in this case) will cause major entities causing more lag.

    I'm sorry If you stack gold blocks it spawns mobs? Sorry I didn't know this or what ever is happening?

    Because the server's ping will go through the roof.
    I think it's best if it is kept to 64, as any higher will begin to affect the server's performance.

    If I'm correct, the server renders the stacked mobs as if they were only 1, and when you kill one it spawns another one in it's place. Correct me if I'm wrong...

    I wouldn't know. if you're right, then I take back what I said, as long as it doesn't increase latency, I'm all for it!

    It's a feature from this server. Look at the Guide.

    I've seen that but I never knew it. So do you put like a spawn egg on it?

    No, when mobs of the same type are on a gold block together, they merge into one mob but have a name telling you how many mobs are merged. Each time you kill one, it drops what a normal skeleton would but another skeleton is there however one more has died. If you kill the final skeleton with x1, the mob will completely die and no more will remain.

    It's limited to prevent AFKing and killing the mobs when you get back.
    You should be able to get 30 levels off 64 mobs anyways.

    Not always, when mobs die, it is randomized of how much xp is dropped. I believe it is between 3-11 orbs. Anyways, it is possible not to get to 30 from it. Also have thing allows for an entire team to get to lvl 30.
