Title: Despawning Animals
Post by: Gigabyteme1 on 11 Aug 2014, 22:05:19
Is there anyway that the despawning of animals can be turned off?

I purchased spawn eggs for sheep and I keep having my flock wiped out?  A little disappointing IMO.

Does it happen if you spent RL dollars on the spawn eggs or are those animals immune from the despawning?

thanks

I think they will still despawn, no matter what. I believe they either despawn during a reset (of the mining world/nether/etc) or if you have too many mobs, you may have hit the mob limit.

interesting.

I would like to suggest then that spawners be added back into the game and/or Spawn eggs be removed from the game (in auction and on the donation page).

I don't feel its proper to pay for the Mob Kit, just to have the animals despawn in a day or two.

I'm sorry you're having issues with the animal/mob spawning; we have simply reintroduced the system we originally had which then stopped working earlier in the year. The cap of animals per area has been reintroduced to prevent issues with large numbers of entities, the despawning is a part of this too. Animals will however not despawn if fed regularly, you have to keep actively feeding/breeding them or they will begin to despawn.

I'm currently away until the weekend but once back I'll have a look into some of the settings and find a nicer solution or make the despawning chance much lower.
