Larger Spawning/Despawning Distance

Post by Pot_Tx »

In my experience, this often happens in BTW CE: In the morning I step out of my base to see some hostile mobs still alive; I grab a weapon but when I approach them they despawn just in front of me, approximately 20 to 30 blocks away. The frequency of this kind of under-distance despawning is pretty high. I have no idea whether it's a vanilla 1.5 behaviour or a change by the mod, but to me it truly is weird. Hope it could be fixed some day.

Oh no, misspelled "despawn" in the title.

Mobs have a chance to despawn when they are more than 32 blocks away, and are guaranteed to despawn at 128 blocks away. It can be a bit weird, and maybe I'll tweak it eventually, but I don't see too much reason to as the payoff for the investment would be super low.
