The 5-year-old probably thought it was hilarious. I think the answer is to fill the 5-year-old's house with 80 chickens.

Sounds like the perfect opportunity to have the adult conversation about what constitutes a socially acceptable number of cows to have in your house. It's a very important conversation.
1 is very weird, 5 is totally crazy, 80 is derangement.
Is 2 weirder than 1? I feel like that would make more sense...
But when does the "parabola-of-acceptable-amount-of-cows-in-a-house" top out?
Asking for a friend of course...

I'm sure we all remember when our parents had the talk with us about this.

Assuming the cows are causing a lot of lag, so he's upset that he can't clear them out and play the game
The obvious solution then is just using a command to kill the cows.. and probably tell the other kid not to do that again x3

Ohhh, I thought the obvious solution was to just keep throwing more server resources at it in Proxmox LMAO
That too haha x3
I mean.. it's little kids so I was just sorta assuming minecraft bedrock over LAN.. if we're doing proper server stuff and you have the resources to throw around that'd also fix the issue.. though they'd still have to clear the cows manually, so depends on what point in the game they are, an enchanted diamond sword is way less of a hassle than a stone one y'know? :3
I remember when alpha 1.8 was released and mobs would drop enchanting XP as multiple orbs worth one point each. It was fine for cows, but killing even a moderately high level player would drop thousands of orbs and basically implode reality in a radius of several chunks. Good times.
That ultra-amplified TINK, I can still hear it echo along with the gut-drop of anxiety wondering if my cheap laptop was going to keep up or crash out... Good times, genuinely.
Real x3.. I still sometimes go back and replay the old versions of minecraft, and there's a lot of interesting stuff to them that I had forgotten
Make a pen outside the house, cut a hole in the house to let the cows out, free farm.
Assuming they're playing on a device that can handle 80 cows yes :3
If they're playing bedrock on a tablet or something it may need to be downscaled a bit
lol good point.
