The Problem:
I am proposing this suggestion based upon the fact that a large number of users have been crashing the server using minecarts due to the fact that a large quantity of them can easily crash the server. By simply looking at the indefinite ban requests, I saw that quite a number were for minecarts, clearly showing that this is a problem that should be addressed. The latest incident with minecarts was on February 21, 2022 in which a user placed over 11k minecarts, crippling the server, making it unable to start, further showing that something needs to be done about this matter. The list will continue to be updated as more offenders are caught.

The Solution:
The solution to mitigate this problem could potentially be to either amend the TFM moblimiter feature to limit minecarts or to add a plugin such as Insights which allows for configurable limiting of any specified entity in a chunk. This plugin will not completely disable placement of minecarts, but simply limit how many can be spawned in a certain area, preventing individuals with nefarious intentions from spam-placing them while keeping the feature usable for those who wish to use it.
If anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to state them.
