How would u do that with like 5 on u

There’s a spawn cap of one.

you can get a pet

If you spawn multiple with Hero's mod there seems to be a cap of 5, any more spawned afterwards die instantly.

Yeah, but you just straight up can't have more than one exist in vanilla

This Blew Up

There is an entity limit in Terraria. Crawltipedes, like most other worms, are made out of many enemies so spawning multiple of them quickly reaches the cap.

Isn't the entity limit like 200?

That Would Mean That Crawltipedes Would Be 40 Entities. Which Would Actually Be Likely lul

It is but Crawltipedes are also like 20 enemies in one. Which does make me wonder why you can only spawn so few of them.

Actually, I can confirm that it's 200. I remember in modded I tried to fight as many moon lords as possible, and they stopped spawning after I summoned 50. The moon lord counts as four entites (3 eyes+core) so it makes sense.

I Couldn't Spawn Anymore Then 162 Bees While Trying To Reach The Spawn Cap. PS4 In Case You're Wondering

If you were using a weapon, then projectiles have a different limit
If you were using statues, then the limit includes incidentally nearby enemies, critters, and friendly NPCs anywhere in the world, so you have to factor those in as well.
If you were just waiting for hanging beehives to spawn and then knocking them down, same as statues.

I Was Breaking Beehives. I Was Using Radar, And It Said 162 Enemies.

This Is The Image, In Case You Were Wondering

Ok so that means that 186 slots were accounted for, assuming you had all of the NPCs available in that world.

14 seems like a pretty safe number for enemies that have just wandered out of the radar's range, especially considering you're in a jungle, which boosts your spawnrates.

I Think I Had All Of Them But Santa, And Tavernkeep, Cause This Was Daniel, My 1.3.1 Character.

Ok, so that means 185 because I didn't account for santa either.

I have looked in the source code.
The is a Main.npc[] array wich stores every npc in the world.
I case you don't know arrays have a fixed length...
The length of the Main.npc[] array is 201 so that means there is a max of 201 NPCs per world
The player limit is 255
The Projectile limit is 1001
The dust limit is 6001
The limit of items in the world is 401
The limit on chests is 1000
The limit on signs is 1000
