Just discovered that around 50 item frames, or more, and their contents are gone from my house along with all the pictures. Does the entities get deleted by the system or did someone do that as a general part of reducing lag? I am curious as i would have liked to have known this might happen before i went to the expense and effort of creating them and filling them with items... Not to mention the pictures all deleted from my house. I would have just used signs in the shop if I knew this might happen. Thank you in advance for any light you shed on my situation.
Butchers delete all entities or whatever Andrew has it configured to. This will remove paintings and item frames. Nothing can be done about it thus we advise you not to use them. Butchers occur whenever it's laggy. The server may delete them automatically, I honestly have no idea.
