I just built myself a mobgrinder, using tier 5 soul shards. But I find that when I leave it alone and go to other parts of my base (a long way away, I have a distributed base) the spawners stop spawning. The area is chunkloaded, and the rest of the machinery seems to work fine when I'm away, but it doesn't spawn anything. What's going on? I thought tier 5 shards didn't care about player presence.
Soul shard, do indeed not care about player presence. Minecraft however does. Mobs further then 128(?) blocks away will instandly despawn. Soulshard spawned or natural. So make sure to build your spawner eiter in a seperate age (noone in a chunkloaded age wont cause them to despawn) or make sure to always stay withing 128 blocks of your spawners[DOUBLEPOST=1367835910][/DOUBLEPOST]Now a question of myself which is totally not minecraft related but just me failing to find it in the options probly.. How do i stop the forum from mailing me each time someone posted on a threat? I already turned off the mail me when a watched threat gets a reply in the preverence menu. But i still get the mail each time.
