Of course, make sure the reeds are adjacent with some piece of water.

Although you hired an investigator, it may be a possible that he/she is giving you false information regarding the missing Sugar Cane. What I suggest is you submit a Grief report in the appropriate section, and get a Super-Moderator+ to deal with the missing Reeds. Also you must keep in mind that the Block breaking / placing logs are cleared regularly, so someone could be Griefing you, and you're not logging the broken blocks in time prior to the clearing of the logs.


Nothing simply disappears like this on Ecocitycraft. Again, I suggest you submit a Grief report in the appropriate section. If the 'disappearing' sugar cane is in a town.

Even though what jets said is legit, this is likely a bug that's been around for over a year. Whole rows of reeds pop out magically, I haven't figured out what exactly is causing it.

This bug has been around ever since we switched to cb++, and it has persisted till this day.
md_5 Is it possible that this is caused by aggregate ticks? Or growth chunk per tick, or anything else in spigot?

 

I have this issue too. At RUSHFarms whole rows of reeds just disappear. o_O

 

If I'm not mistaken its actually caused by vanilla and accentuated by async chunk loading, something present in Bukkit too.
10 bucks says this row of cane is on a chunk border.

 

i have the same problem

 

Was it a chunk border?

 

I have the same problem. I am really sick of it meaning it is like this in all of my reed farms. o_O

 

It's always a chunk border, yes.

From what I can tell it loads the chunk with the reeds in, but the water besides it doesn't and the reed pops out, correct?

 

Yup
