When a Trial Spawner becomes ominous, any existing mobs it spawned will despawn. However, if those existing mobs had CanPickUpLoot:1b
, then they can despawn with the player's picked up items.
To reproduce:
Activate a non-ominous Trial Spawner that generated within a Trial Chamber
Find a mob with
CanPickUpLoot:1b
, this may take a whileGive the mob armor or a weapon
Drink an ominous bottle to make the Trial Spawner become ominous
Watch as the existing mob deletes the items you gave it
Can confirm.
