vanishing cows!?

[Jeff Fisher]

Every time it seems I go over a certain number of cows in my barn 3/4 of them just vanish into thin air.. Ill go in give them all wheat turn around and most of them will be gone..

I know there is no way they can get out. I even thought maybe they were glitching through the wall so I put fence 1 block away from all the walls to see and they dont seem to be glitching through well maybe 1 once in a while but no where near often enough to loose 3/4 of my cows..

Anyone have any ideas as to whats going on? Its making it impossible to set up a decent cow farm for leather as everytime I get enough cows to where I can butcher some they vanish.

Thanks.

I had a similar situation with villagers. Trapped about 6 in one of their houses, including a wizard and a beekeeper. Next time I visited, all gone, Those trapped in individual houses were still there.

I'm having the same issue, but with chickens. I live underground and it's very frustrating getting the animals down there.

I've got a similar issue with my farms. I get a bunch of cows or chickens, load up the auto feeders (2 for each pen) and then come back later to find either the same number or less. I started wondering if it had something to do with the small pen size (5x5) and maybe new animals where suffocating in the walls or something.

Since uncounted days, mobs like to glitch into the floor in multiplayer scenarios. Since 1.3, where even singleplayer worlds run in a server-like scenario, this bug affects both SSP and SMP. Floor-glitching can cause suffocation and mob-death.

In my case atleast I really don't think they are suffocating in the floor. Its more like 1 sec they are there and POOF there gone..

Build a small glass cage with nothing around it and pack it full and watch! If they do die, you should be able to see their drops in the glass or on the ground. I might be wrong though.

It doesn't happen when you watch, it seems to mostly be when you unload the chunk for some time and then come back (not just logout/in).
