I've been working with hopper minecarts on EMC, and occasionally, they get randomly deleted. These minecarts are constantly moving along a track like this: https://i.imgur.com/g3xJhlz.png I'm not sure what's causing them to disappear. Is this a bug with Minecraft, itself, or Empire Minecraft?
I've been using 34 hopper minecarts in one area in the wild on SMP2. Maybe I could try to cut down on how many minecarts I'm using.
#1: Yes, it should be a bug. It's never happened to me before.. so it should be. If it isn't, contact me (or pm) me to talk. this is a very weird thing, and I've never had it happen to me before. #2: What server is this on? (Example of meaning: Empire Minecraft, Singleplayer.. Realms)? #3: It's most likely a bug or a glitch. That's what I know. #4: This is rare. Just put the Minecarts Down again, and if they disappear again, contact me and I'll help you. #5: I've had experience, but with a different item.
Well, if this is unprotected space then unfortunately you can't rule out player interference either. As far as I know this isn't common behavior. An outpost I'm part of has a guardian farm which heavily utilizes hopper minecarts also (I think 30 - 40?) and we've yet to lose one of them. As such I'm wondering about player interference as well. Having said that: sometimes stuff does disappear for no apparent reason. On my residence I grow sugarcane (one line) and every now and and then several gaps appear or 3 - 5 canes just go missing alltogether. While I'm positive that they were all planted when I left them. So sometimes weird stuff does happen.
