Missing Pets and Farm Animals

In order to maintain server stability, we may periodically clear all non-player entities from all loaded chunks on the server.  By default, this includes all hostile and neutral mobs, including those that a player may have herded into a farm.  Unfortunately, we typically cannot restore any animals lost due to this.  For this reason, we recommend capturing farm animals and using their spawn eggs to spawn them when they're needed again.  Alternatively, you can place your farm in a part of the world that is not heavily visited, so that it will be unloaded at most times.  Animals in unloaded chunks are not affected.
