Hello, I am Jr_Rath and I am to report a glitch on skyblock today. As many skyblock players know, and some have unfortunately fell a victim to a skyblock mob glitch. This glitch consists of all mobs (peaceful and hostile), disappearing from ones skyblock and not returning. It has happened to me, Jodiemende and Jaimemende, Bryte_Star, and many others. This is quite frustrating for all the players it happens to. Imagine working so hard to buy a spawn egg (which are priced quite ridiculously tbh), and then placing them down, and beginning to breed the animals.. and all of a sudden they all disappear? Without a moments notice all your hard, dedicated work to your skyblock island, just wasted? All for what, some stupid glitch not being patched? This is a very big concern to the skyblock community, and I, and a lot of the other skyblock players would like for this glitch, to be patched ASAP. Maybe surge, even reparations for our hard work being wasted :"(. Thank you so much! @surgetheurge
Spawn eggs aren't priced ridiculously lol. Money is easy to get now. And I'm not having this despawn problem. Maybe you have too many mobs in one spot?
I have been experiencing this issue for the past few months alongside the other players mentioned in the thread, and the issue has been reported a couple of times in the past. http://squadcraft.net/threads/request-for-a-skyblock-donator-to-change-my-island-biome.19212/ (I know it's a request to Chang my biome under the old skyblock plugin but it's due to the glitch) Surge has attempted to fix the issue but it seems like his work hasn't been successful. It seems like ther than buying the spawn eggs again all we can do is build a wide area of grassland and set the biome to one which animals will spawn naturally (e.g. Plains) in the hopes that the hostile animals will naturally respawn.
They are priced ridiculously.. even though money is "Easy" to obtain. This is even more of an inconvenience to the players especially when their mobs despawn as frequently as this is happening.
To be fair, they did seem quite expensive for me when I first started out and for the majority of time whilst I was expanding my island. It's only when you can produce valuable stuff on a large scale that you can get the kind of money needed to buy a fair amount of stuff in shop.
I'm 100% certain they aren't lol, and atleast squad has the option to buy them. A lot of other severs don't even have the option Also, I afked today to test the despawn issue because I've never experienced it, and I lost 64 sheep (four of each color) and 20 villagers. rip @surgetheurge
It seems like the despawning glitch affects different islands in different ways. For me, I just lose all my hostile animals and snow golems, excluding horses. I have like 30 villagers or so on the island and haven't lost any of them (No, that is not an invite to jinx my statement). The glitch only started around late Feb/March time and when I came back at the beginning of Feb from taking a break for a few months, it was just the mobs that were auto despawning which was already a thing last year. The creatures I lose are mobs (I assume, though my island is well lit and I don't usually bother checking the areas that I know they'd spawn in), cows, chicken, pig, sheep, mooshroom and rabbit. And it's all of them I lose. Although the other week when I thought it was improving, I noticed that some of my animals were gradually despawning, I think it was my pigs and sheep that this affected.
People are just now having the problem. I haven't experienced it until now, and I've been on the server for around two and a half years
Pretty sure mobs naturally despawn when players are a fair distance away. But they don't all despawn all in one go within your range of view.
