I've had the exact same issue. I've coved the entire farm in string, but instead of despawning down at the tower the leaves are despawning up at the afk platform, which causes me to die nearly every time i've gone afk over the past day, which also results in a loss of all my items. I'm not sure if its because I silk touched the leaves that im using at the top, rather than the sheers that I used at the bottom, but I still personally feel like that shouldn't make a difference. Please help me out here.
