cosmic 46 Posted January 14 Report Posted January 14 Today I logged in to see all or most of my piglins and my newborn lamb dead and i have no idea what could've caused this. the boars are overly aggressive (and dying too), but they usually are aggressive when there is new spawn and i don't see them taking damage from each other so I know they're not fighting one another. I was think it might be the enclosure size but the sheep enclosure is larger and the lamb is dead as well so makes me unsure. Doubt is due to starvation, before i left i fed them and their dead bodies states they have good weight. I don't think its predators since I have witness the pigs drop dead in front of me and i don't really have predators around. I am playing on multiplayer server and i highly doubt anyone would've messed with the animals specially since it states is been "killed by another creature". Anyone had this happen before or know why this is happening?
OBAMFSpike Posted January 14 Report Posted January 14 Oh man. Big bummer and im sorry you've lost so many of your livestock. I play on a server too and lock my animals down under a four tall fencing permitter lit with torches and lanterns. Ive lost droves of sows to lightning and bears. And bears are bloody evil too mind you. They do the deed and disappear as you walk away minding your other chores. Spawned inside the perimeters or climbing a fence I couldn't tell you. But this clearly would seem its a ____ or a ______. No good deed goes unpunished. XD

I don't think its predators since I have witness the pigs drop dead in front of me and i don't really have predators around. Animals don't die to starvation in the vanilla game, though they will die if they're deprived of light for too long. That doesn't seem to be the case here though. My first thought is that it's a predator, as that's the usual culprit, however at least one of the bodies would be partially eaten if that were the case. The bodies aren't horribly mangled either, so I don't think monsters are at fault either, though you might keep an eye on it just in case there are stray shots from drifters and bowtorn hitting your animals. You haven't mentioned mods at all, so mod inference can probably be ruled out. The only other thing that comes to mind, outside of some bug, is perhaps some sort of entity cramming mechanic to prevent overpopulation, similar to what Minecraft has. While that would explain the pig deaths, it doesn't explain the dead lamb, and I'm pretty sure @Diff has shoved about a million chickens into a similar space without issue. 59 minutes ago, cosmic 46 said: I don't think its predators since I have witness the pigs drop dead in front of me and i don't really have predators around.

Given it's multiplayer, never rule out another player being the culprit, intentionally or not. Perhaps some sort of kill command was clipping your animal pens? If no one was using console commands and players are trustworthy otherwise, and you've witnessed the animals dying with no apparent cause, it's most likely a bug.

Is it possible that it is a bear? I know they can attack a Seraph over a fence. So maybe it's a case of the animals getting attacked by a bear on the other side and then when they die their hitbox drops low enough that the bear can't feed on it over the fence? As far as the lamb goes, maybe a similar situation and the other Bighorns slowly nudged the body towards the center just by walking over it? 1

It's possible, but most predators don't seem to attack prey animals unless they're hungry, though I could be mistaken. I am pretty sure though that predators immediately eat part of whatever they kill, probably to help give the player more incentive to do their own hunting instead of letting other creatures do the dirty work for them. And if the carcass has been eaten, it should say as much. 1
pigfood Posted January 15 Report Posted January 15 (edited) This should be impossible in Vanilla. It's not a predator. For something like a bear or wolf, the info text would be: "Partially eaten by another creature. Large bite marks.". It's not a rust creature, the info text would say "vile creature". It's not a player, the info text would say that. It's not lightning, the info text would say that. Your info text would correspond to another non-predator animal like a moose, but they don't attack pigs or sheep. 11 hours ago, Forks said: So maybe it's a case of the animals getting attacked by a bear on the other side and then when they die their hitbox drops low enough that the bear can't feed on it over the fence? The victims are aromatically tagged as partially eaten, when they are killed by a bear or wolf. Edited January 15 by pigfood 1
