[Teagan75 14]

Version #: 

Build 0.79.10.375

SSP/SMP (Single/MultiPlayer): Single player

Suggested Name: Escaping Animals

Suggested Category: Annoying

Description: My animals keep escaping through the fences they are in and seem to sink into the earth as well. The escaping part...is that part of the wild vs. familiar mechanic?

This is a vanilla bug that has been around for a long time. Nothing in TFC is causing it.

I have never had animals escape through a two high fence before.

Just because it's never happened to you doesn't mean that it isn't a vanilla bug. The official Minecraft bug tracker has it confirmed as a vanilla bug from 1.4.2 through the current release.

this happened in my 1.7.2 vanilla world... at least if there is a great number of animals behind the fence

As stated, fences are buggy as hell.

You are way better off using either solid blocks or just 2 deep pits imho.

I remember solving this in vanilla by recessing my animal pens one block into the ground, inside the fence. That way the animals think the fences and gates are two blocks up and therefor they can't jump over them, so they don't even try, preventing them from standing on the same block as the fence, preventing them from glitching through them when chunks unload and load back in.

Yes I have done this as well. I just made a completely enclosed pen with wooden planks. No escapes however one or two animals die inside the pen when the chunks are loaded again. I just see their bones and hides on the ground hehe. frustrating

Line the inside of your pen with fences? That should help a bit with them glitching into the solid blocks and suffocating. Another option is to make your pens out of a block that doesn't cause suffocation damage, like glass. Since those blocks are more solid than a fence, it's much less likely for a mob to glitch all the way through it.
