My sheep are disappearing!

I have looked at my settings and trust list and I am trusting nobody and people cannot kill mobs on my island! Yet when I go to the mob arena or someone elses island, my sheep de spawn for some reason. The spawned is not near a chunk boundary and I am the only person on the island. I’ve been creating a new wool shop to sell all of the colors but I need the sheep to stop disappearing or it is just a waste of dye! So is there a way to prevent this or should I sell my sheep spawned befor the prices go down?

 

Ya must use a name tag on them

 

Thank you for replying but I don’t have that many name tags. Is there any other way?

 

I’ve seen other threads on this and it said the limit is 100 but I have had 1 sheep disappear too, but everyone probably knows Heatherly, she is a server regular. How does she keep her sheep? Why is it only happening to me? And I know they are not combining because when I leave my island and come back, nothing is left. If the server owner sees this, please turn of the despawn when your not there because I’m trying to start my own wool shop and I cant! PLEASE HELP ME!!

 

Use name tags that is the only solution

 

Theo, can you move this into the help section?

 

It autodespawns them to reduce lag. You must nametag them. Just ask in chat and you’ll find some eventually, or just stay on your island like I did when I had sheep.

 

As soon as you shear them the name tag has no effect.
Why bother stacking them if you are going to clear them to reduce lag??
A stack of 1000000 creates no more lag than a stack of 100, so why have a limit at all?

 

Best way is to hit one sheep per color once. As hit mobs do not despawn
