I'm having a problem and it was suggested I post it here...
My colored sheep are despawning. I have tried different biomes, different locations on the map and each time have made their individual pens larger. Last night, I literally made each pen 16 x 16, which is the size of one chunk. In theory, that should allow 25 sheep per pen. (I don't want THAT many - heck, I'd be happy with eight!)
Instead, no matter how large I have made the pens, it won't allow more than 1-4 sheep per pen. It happens as you watch. I can breed all 16 pens (one for each color) and then look - one pen has a baby but both parents have despawned, another pen had four and now has two, etc. If I wait around for awhile, even more despawn. I log on later and some pens just have one or two sheep.
I've seen plenty of bases with 50+ farm animals or villagers in a much smaller area than mine. Does anyone have any idea what is happening here and how I can fix it? I sell the wool in my shop. HALP!
