How do I raise the mob capacity of my enderman farm?

I am several hundred blocks from the end island. However, I have only observed 24 entities at maximum. Near the end island, the mob cap is normal, but it drops when I go out into the void. Note that I am on a server.

How do I get the game to consider more chunks so the formula will give me the normal 70-some mob cap?

Solution 1:

I believe the setting you are looking for is under game rules: maxEntityCramming. Adjusting this value should allow you more than 24 in a space. You can edit this through the chat if cheats are enabled, otherwise you will have to edit your game file.
