Minecraft – Do naturally spawned animals affect the limit of animals I spawn from spawn eggs

minecraft-legacy-console

I'm playing on Creative mode and am planning to build a farm, so I plan on using spawn eggs. If there are already animals in the world ( spawned naturally) do I have to kill them all before I use the spawn egg? Or will they not have an effect?

The use of spawn eggs ignores most of the checks for whether something should be able to spawn somewhere. In particular, no check is made for amount of mobs already spawned. You can use spawn eggs to create hundreds, thousands, or even millions of mobs in an area; the only limit will be the processing power and memory needed to handle them.
