Incident
5 May
At some point, sourrabbit logged on, and began AFKing the farm.
6 May
At 15:03 MDT, Fin noticed no mobs were spawning in the Port of Eras. [1] He decided to see if the issue was in Hertskomestat, as sourrabbit was the only other player online.
At 15:13 MDT, Fin arrived, and using the Tab key and the Xaero's map mod, identified the issue as being in Hertskomestat.[2] At this time, BE joined the game, and Fin tried to alert him to the issue. The area was also severely laggy.
Approximately 5 minutes later, most of the piglins were killed, reducing the lag and fixing the issue.
Causes & Aftermath
BE and sourrabbit both suggested it was not the piglins hitting the mob cap. BE suggested server lag, while sourrabbit suggested it was bats.[3]
Mob spawning returned to normal after the incident was resolved.
