This sucks View attachment 166168 Potential solutions: Cropper will change owner via redstone input. (Button press / lever pull) Cropper will change owner via "opening" / right clicking the cropper. See also: Cropper should still remove crops when owner is offline. (related, but ultimately different suggestion) This may be the result of a bug regarding cropper's not pulling from the entire chunk anymore.
I don't think this is necessary. You'd still have to go to every single cropper to become the owner so you could also just quickly break and then place them again, couldn't you?
Just replaced 25 croppers, lost 3 of them because they flew off and I couldn't find them. A loss of $240,000. Also now have to go through and clear out pumpkins that grew while I looked every where for the croppers.
Yeah cropper seem to fly everywhere dame as the spawners, really sucks for expensive items to disappear on players, especially new player.
There have been reports made on spawners flying off before. It's not a bug it's just that's what they do, they take off in random directions. It's only a problem because they are worth 80k each.
