Im trying to place Iron Golems around my city to protect them from zombies and such but they keep despawning when I come back from a mining excursion and such. Is there a way to stop this?
Make sure: You have the latest version of everything. You have natural mob spawning on. And: list all plugins if this doesn't work.
Have you got a lag removing plugin ? Make Sure All Your Plugins Are Up To Date Is mob spawning set to true ? Can You List Your Plugins That would be helpful
WorldEdit WorldGuard Essentials Also, Is there a way to update my plugins without completely overwriting the folder? Will it overwrite like warp data and which tool is for WorldEdit?
To Update The Plugin Just Drag The New Jar File Into The Server Plugins Folder It Won't Overwrite Any Data Example: If You Had Essentials.Jar And A Newer Version Came Out Just Replace The Jar File, But If A New Version Of Minecraft Came Out With New Blocks & Features Like 1.6.1 Go Into The Essentials Folder And Copy The Folder Warps And Paste It On Your Desktop Then Delete The Essentials Folder, Run The Server With The New Essentials Jar And It Will Create A New Essentials Folder, Now Drag The Warps Folder Off Your Desktop And Into The Essentials Folder, If This Is Too Complicated I'll Make A Video. BTW Is Your City World Guarded ?
No I understood that. Thank you I'll try it. I really don't use WorldGuard and therefore don't know how to use it so I don't think the city has anything to do with WorldGuard
Yeah those were already set to true and I just updated everything so well see how it works and I'll post again if I need more help with this. I updated all plugins and the mobs are still despawning. EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
I'm having this problem also. Players are placing down villager eggs and when they teleport away they despawn. I check server.properties to see if all of that was set to true and it is. 1.5.2 I had no problems, I assume its a problem with the Dev Build?
I have a similar problem when I use the 1.6.1 server. Everything appears to work fine on the 1.5.2 server. Only non-named mobs do this (horses, villagers, iron-golems, pigs, etc). I will assume at this point that its a problem with the development build and await the newest version.
I to am having this issue on my 1.6.1 server. All the animals seem to have vanished except for a few chickens and sheep.
I can confirm that cats and wolves despawn in 1.6.2 beta build. However, this issue has been reported fixed in vanilla 1.6.2. A frustrating bug to be sure.
