So as there are hardly any ocelot eggs to be found anywhere despite a high demand for them on the server, I thought I'd start breeding. When I placed a whole bunch of ocelots on my res and left the area, they all disappeared immediately. Ocelots take time to grow up, and I don't really want to sit there waiting. Plus, if I lose my connection, I don't want to lose all my untamed ocelots. Also, although I can have fish ready, I needed to go get fish in this case. I'm just wondering if this is typical expected behaviour, and why ocelots disappear like that. Now I need to fill a huge chest with raw fish and just stand in one place until they grow up, hoping nothing happens to my internet, and thankfully I only placed one stack of ocelot eggs.
I understand having some mobs disappear to prevent server lag, but I believe ocelots are rare enough that they shouldn't cause it. I was literally gone less than 30 seconds. I'm still actively using the ocelots. Tamed ocelots do not appear to despawn. So why should untamed ocelots?
ocelots are considered a wild animal when untamed and are not immune to despawn. this is vanilla mechanics... but there's another way to make it easier... Right click on a cat with an ocelot egg, and it will spawn as a tamed cat instead of a wild ocelot. This too is vanilla behavior.
Well this is annoying. I teleported and now they're all sitting. Sitting cats do not breed And now a couple of them have teleported into the area between a fence and solid block. I can't eggify or interact with them.
