Title: Disappearing loot
Post by: Strangerz on January 26, 2012, 10:48:30 pm
Lately i have noticed that when i die I typically lose all the stuff I was carrying. Yes, when you die your things fall to the ground but now they are disappearing. I can die right outside my house then spawn and /home right away and all the stuff is gone.

I heard people complaining about this in chat and i thought it was just because they were to slow at getting to where they died but this is not the case. It has happened to me multiple times over the past few days and it seems that there is a issue.

Is this supposed to be happening?

That is a little unusual-- normally this should not be happening... I'm not certain what could be causing that, but we will start to investigate the possible causes of this

That has happened to me TWICE!!! D:  At first I simply thought that it was because I wasn't reaching my stuff in time, but since it happened on two occasions in which I made it back relatively quickly and got SOME stuff back but not all which was weird.....(I lost so many iron ores and diamonds that way @_@)

My armor and an apple stayed but things like ores, cobble, and dirt were gone.  BTW cause of death both times were creeper explosions (could the creeper explosion nullification thingy be erasing items too?)

two creepers. both blew you up. one killed you, one blew up your items.

Creepers are able to destroy your items when they explode and kill you,

Another reason could be that someone walks past the items just after you are killed and the rules say unless you ask for them back or can prove they have them you can keep items found on the floor.

I noticed this after I built my skeleton grinder. I noticed some of the drops weren't being picked up, just sitting on the floor. They disappear after roughly 15 seconds.

One creeper explosion can not destroy a players items, because before the creeper explodes, the player has not dropped the items yet.
1. Creeper explosion
2. Player death
3. Item drop
But if a second creeper was to explode after your death, then yes your items would be destroyed.
I'm pretty sure this is a glitch though, as this has happened to alot of people, including myself.

whenever im killed by a creeper, the majority of my items are gone.

It happens over and over again.

This time a mod was even helping me and saw it happen (wish i could remember his name or wish he would post). He was helping me and while i was walking a creeper snuck up behind me and blew me up. When i came back 80% of my loot was gone. When i mentioned it i think he thought i was implying that he stole it and he was even a bit confused about it. I told him that i recently made a post about it and he said something along the lines of "oh well if you made a post then it should be taken care of"... but i dont think this issue is getting much attention.

I would understand if a second creeper was blowing up my stuff (but they dont even blow up dirt, walls, or anything else.. should they blow up items?) but there is definitely not a second creeper every time this happens.

Hmm... the more claims of people losing their inventories after dying in general is starting to sound like a plugin to prevent theft of lost inventories...

I don't know, but it's starting to sound like it since this is starting to happen more and more frequently

This happened to me when we where fighting the enderdragon i got killed by a enderman and then when i got back my stuff was all gone

Just saying guys, I'm starting to think this may be a little bug :/
I may be totally wrong, and opti or someone else may already know the cause of this, but this has has happened to so many people. I get players in game telling me that their diamond tools dissapear upon death, and it seems only a fee items can be recovered, even when they are killed by a mob other than a creeper.

This, hasn't happened to me. I think they stay there for about 2 mins. I belive in some cases its enough time to get back there and to get them back.

Your scattered inventory will disappear after 5 minutes if they are not recovered. But that's not the problem people are having, they are saying their items are just vanishing once they return to their death spot. I never though this was possible when people were telling me, but this then happened to me, and I can assure you I returned to my death in about 15 seconds, items *gone*

Just to clarify (because I think there is some confusion :P) I died by creeper on two seperate occasions (meaning the time I died by creeper again wasn't in the proximity of the time I was blown up the first time)  I'm saying that when I lost my items the death just happens to be by creeper.

Every time I have died to a creeper My stuff has still been there. I just died at Persianskitty's house and when I got back (I came back straight away) it was all gone, Persian didn't take any of it.

I believe you all now when you say stuff disappears. x.x

So your saying that a single creeper will blow up you and your items (no bug exists)? Then why does it only happen to some of the loot and why does it not happen to everyone all the time?

OR

Your saying that no one cares to recreate the issue so the bug will not be fixed and if you dont want to lose your items then dont die to creepers.


Seems like the crappiest support post i have ever seen.

First of all, creepers will blow up a different number of items most time, and other times they wont blow up any items. Second of all, I recreated this 3 times, I gave myself 30 coal, 30 stone, and 30 cobblestone. The first time when i died i got 3 coal back. The second time i got none of my items back, the third time i got 12 coal and all 30 stone and cobblestone back. Whether or not that is a glitch, or if creepers actually blow them up can be debated.

So before you assume that "no one cares to recreate the issue" maybe ask if we have recreated it.

Well this post is completely opposite of the post i quoted where you stated that this yet to happen to you. So it has happened to you in the above scenarios and you have now shared this information with the community so people can stop posting in this thread trying to figure out whats going on.

Thank you, how thoughtful.

When I said this has yet to happen to me, I was just talking about a situation where i thought i should get items back and didnt. When i die by a creeper i pretty much assume most of my items are gone.

That's what I thought before Opticraft, but I have always got everything back... Maybe I was just lucky.

I don't even bring any enchanted items with me anymore because of stupid cropping creepers dropping from the sky/roof of my house

Post by: SpikeyThorn on February 14, 2012, 02:35:23 pm
Just to give my Opinion, As far as i can tell, i have every reason to believe that it's caused by the plugin that drops your items in one pile when mining ECT.

I think i was the first person to loose 30 diamonds to this, and I'd died many a time before this plugin.
See where im coming from? still happens to me now.

i've has a similar problem.
If i die, my stuff i drop turns invisible but i can pick them up!

Post by: D00MKNlGHT on February 26, 2012, 10:59:42 am
i heard the sound of creeper beside me, i jumped then died, later i went back there all my stuff is there... i believe disappearing items is because when the creeper blowup ur stuff is 1 sec intagible and will go through one block, if you jumped your items will appear in mid air, and drop to the ground and it will remain there. if you did not jump, the items pass through a block, they will disappear.. probaly cause by the plugin which prevent creeper from destroying blocks...

I was there with tb at said time This is what happened: Tb was working in his WIP so I came along to help. He got creeper bombed and there was nothing but gunpowder left. He was near a ledge so I jumped off (Into water at the bottom) All I found was some XP and melons.

Its sorta been fixed. If you die, you can now see them.
Creepers destroy items but i dont really know about any other ways of dying that will cause you to lose items.
