Ya, I guess as someone who does preservation IRL I see a differentiation between salted meat and jerky.

I think dehydrating/smoking would be an excellent addition for this, and other foods. Meat could be salted and smoked to make jerky. Fruit and vegetables could be dehydrated. The satiety could be reduced by 1/4 to 1/2 but have the shelf life extended significantly.

Using the latest stable, 1.20.1 I believe. No mods. I don't think it was lightning as there wasn't a storm at the time. I had just planted a bunch of pumpkin seeds that I had found in a jar before going to bed, so I know that the crops were still there at that time. I had woken up, walked outside and got smacked by the bear as it came around my house. From that point it was a lot of running around, me dying, and re-spawning about 50 blocks away. I went to go check on my pit kiln when I noticed that everything was gone. Also, I was placing the soil in double rows of 10 with a space of water in between each double row, and the shore is slate gravel, so if a fire had started on one it wouldn't have been able to jump the others. I checked the Archived logs folder and I'm able to find the timestamp where I killed the bear in the client audit logs. However the server audit logs start after that time, like the game over-wrote them.

Relatively new to the game and I just started a new world. I've been planting crops as I've been finding them and had a good start with 55 planted. I had a bear spawn near my base and ended up getting killed, but I built not far from world spawn so I quickly ran back and was able to deal with it. I went over to where my crops were and they were all gone. Is this a bug or do bears also eat crops? I don't know if it matters, but I've been placing med fertilized soil into a pond in double rows.

Ya I got a shiver spawn in the cellar. It's 5x5 so I put a candle in and that seems to be sufficient.

On this topic, can they spawn inside your buildings? In my starter house, I dug a cellar into the side of a cliff and left it dirt/stone. I had one spawn in side of it during a storm, and I was guessing it was the result of it being a 'natural' block. I'm now working on my next level of a house and it has a cobbled floor, walls and ceiling. Do I need to worry about spawning inside of it?
