Posted December 19, 201311 yr I've been trying to track down the baby chickens drowning issue (I see references all over but no solutions) and I'm following the reproduction through forge. First off, I don't know if it really is forge, but that's how far I've traced it. Consider a basic chicken farm: 9x9, with 7x7 interior. Four water source blocks in the corners and the one central floor block is missing with a sign in it. In 1.6.4 vanilla the chicks don't drown. In 1.6.4 with forge installed (9.11.1.953) installed using the installer, the baby chickens drown. No other mods. I doesn't seem to matter where the chicks are, they drown in the middle block or not. However, without forge they seem to be a little more "bouncy" than with forge. The chickens (adult) survive in both. I've reproduced this on both OSX and Linux Mint (Cinnamon Ubuntu.) Also, I've never heard seen my chicks drown in 1.5.2 or 1.7.2 farms in vanilla minecraft. I never encountered the problem until I started playing with mods. If anyone knows how to fix it fantastic! If not, I don't mind reading some code, but I have never looked at minecraft code. Can someone point me at places I could look/play with or other things I could do help reproduce to help people find a fix? Thanks for any feedback.
