My hopper minecarts are randomly disappearing. Usually happens when I have travelled away from the base and I return to find my wool farm broken. Sheep are always gone. Sometimes cooked meat is present in collection chest. Other times I have found the cart only in the chest but hopper is missing. But, everything might have disappeared as well. Tried naming sheep to see if that helped. Answer is no.

Hi
Three current situations.
Bamboo farm - approximately 8 x 27 planted area harvested by flying machine. Originally had 8 collection tracks with hopper carts, but reduced to two serpentine to reduce number of carts. When all eight were running, three to four would disappear over time. Assume carts were breaking and despawning since they totally disappeared. When reduced to two, the farm doesn't break as often (missing carts), but does still break; just in a different manner. The separate issue is with both carts ending up on the same track even though they never run past each other or interact at corners.
Kelp farm- simple bone meal dispenser farm with observer/ piston harvesting. Hopper chest running back and forth supplying additional bone meal to hoppers feeding dispensers. Occasionally Hopper chest and loaded bone meal disappear. Assume something is breaking the cart and everything despawns.
Wool farm- 18 sheep using Observer/Dispenser/Shear harvesting with fixed hopper cart collection system. Return from journeys to find Sheep missing from pens, hopper cart broken. Usually cart will have been collected by the hopper/chest storage, but the hopper never is recovered.
Possibly related issues- Sections of fence around animal pens are occasionally missing, half slabs in roofs may gone, Wheat in manually planted/water harvested field might be switched out for carrots or potatoes. These events appear to be due to junk loading ❓ as the animals haven't wandered off, but do start to drift out as I approach.

Playing in a single player world, but can transfer map to multiplayer and allow you to inspect world if needed.

Now believe the disappearing minecarts are due to lightening hits during storms. Not sure why carts underground are being affected, but changed difficulty from hard mode and problem seems to have abated. Storm damage appears to occur to base area even though I have traveled to a distant portion of the world and have no "chunk loader" active keeping base loaded during my absence. (Base does contain an active player created village.) Damage doesn't appear until I return from travels and the chunks around the base are loaded as I approach. As I reported earlier damage to missing wooden fences appears to have just taken place as animals don't begin to drift out of pen until I can see the "pen chunk" load.
If the problem is storm damage during hard mode, it still leaves the issue of why it takes place when the chunks should be unloaded and thus unaffected by storms that take place while away.

i too am experiencing this same problem and i’m on the nintendo switch bedrock 1.21.22…
i made a bamboo garden of 16x16 with an extra row of standard hoppers leading into a double chest and i was running 8 oval shaped tracks but upon reloading the world 2 of my minecart-hoppers were erased from existence… i am on survival mode so resources are limited at the moment… i can’t keep hunting for iron…
maybe it’s time to build an iron golem village farm again…
