The Great Animal Massacre of Eldham

The Great Animal Massacre of Eldham was a mass-despawning incident that occured on the 30th of August 2021. In the course of this incident, all animals, including horses, over Eldham mysteriously vanished when the server came back online.. The cause is currently unknown but some have speculated it was caused by the development team tinkering with entity despawning mechanics.

The incident started at 12:10 AM (EST) when players were unable to mount their horses nor pick up dropped items. A minute later, confusion arose in the chat when players started talking about their animals & 5 star horses having disappeared for no reason. A minority of players had reported that only a portion of their animals have disappeared but for the majority of players, all of them were gone. Players then began noting the fact that there were 10 staff members on the server at the time and theorized that they were currently working on despawning mechanics and that this was accidental.
