Mob Cap Limiter
by Lonerskully
Mob Cap Limiter lets server owners set a fixed, adjustable ceiling on the total number of mobs in a world, and spawning pauses once that ceiling is hit.
What it does
When too many mobs spawn, the game can lag. Once the number of mobs in a world reaches the configured maximum, the mod halts further spawns until the count drops. The cap can be set differently for each world and for different mob types, which helps keep the game running smoothly. It runs on Forge for 1.12.2 and needs both the client and the server, under the MIT License, and it is not open source.

What the author says
Too many mobs spawning causing lag? This mod sets a strict limit on how many mobs can exist at once, stopping new ones from appearing once that limit is reached. It’s configurable for different worlds and mob types, helping keep your game running smooth.
