Animals

[iballisticbunny6]

Alright so a few days ago I noticed that my named piggy (Mr.Piggy) was missing. I looked around for him but he was nowhere to be seen. As of today, my friend stumbled upon a ravine right next to where my pig had disappeared. The pig was found the ravine next to a stream of lava. The pig was saved but however I would like to prevent this happening again.
Also, I went to my old house on the server that I had moved away from to patch it up a bit. I traveled there with my named horse(Curious) and tied her to a fence on the top portion of my chest house. About 15-20 minutes later I went to check on her and she was nowhere to be seen. I have no clue what to do.

Many mobs have an advanced pathfinding system that allows them to traverse complex mazes to get to a desired object or destination.

There is a chance some one placed a dirt block or something to jump a fence around your land and the pathfinding of said pig basically made it see an escape from captivity. It is not something we can control very easily as it is encoded into the game itself. Best to pen the pig most securely or encase it in glass.

As for the leashed horse, it is a bug mojang intends to fix. again we can't control this. Best to put the horse in 2 block deep pit if you plan to leave it for more than 5 minutes at a time.

This is the bug report
MC-14826 – Leads in unloaded chunks break, become invisible or connect to an invisible target far away
https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-14826

Take note where is says Fixed versions: 1.10 Which is a version far in the future, given the current track record probably late 2016 - mid 2017.

There is other fixes in version 1.10 if interested. http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/1.10

I found her! about 3500 blocks away.. No wonder why we call her curious but the animals have been glitching hopefully mojang will fix the animals and leads soon! ^-^
