Livestock Limit 1.0.0

Take full control of livestock populations on your Rust server.

Livestock Limit is a lightweight and configurable Rust plugin designed to prevent players from keeping excessive amounts of livestock around their bases.

The plugin automatically tracks cows, bulls, calves, sheep, rams, and lambs, applying configurable limits based on ownership and Tool Cupboard areas.

Perfect for servers that want to use Rust's livestock mechanics while keeping animal populations, server performance, and player progression under control.

Why Livestock Limit?

Livestock systems can quickly become difficult to control when many players begin breeding or collecting animals.

Livestock Limit gives server owners a simple way to define exactly how much livestock players can maintain while still allowing VIP permissions, teams, and custom server progression systems.

Simple. Lightweight. Configurable.

Keep your livestock under control.
