Can confirm issue occurred in my world in BDS on version 1.20.41. Old flock of sheep disappeared after building a barn extension which allowed outdoor pens of 18 × 18. Thinking the pens were too large allowing for despawn, bred 2nd flock of 16 and named-tagged them. This flock too has now disappeared. The two llamas and camel remain.
Also running V1.18.2 on my Playstation 4 Pro and the behaviour is exactly the same as @gbell, @Req001, @atboimb exposed. Screenshots attached.
[media][media]I finally got an opportunity a couple days back to play with my friend, the results are as follows. Client was an IPhone with iOS 6.0.1
While running the hotspot and hosting, the client could see my game. Sever lag issues.
While running the hotspot and friend was hosting, I could not see his game.
Returned to WiFi, while I was hosting, client again could not see my game.
Again on WiFi, while friend was hosting, I could see his game as a client.
After the update to ICS, the OS would not allow me to turn the hotspot on until it was enabled by Sprint, after I added on the 2GB mobile hotspot data plan, otherwise its unlimited data for the phone only. Notice I said was enabled, I broke down last night and added the service for $20 a month. Once I get an opportunity to test the Minecraft PE server over the hotspot, I'll report the results. Though this multiplayer issue should get fixed when connected to a residential router.
Note, before ICS, when I attempted to enable the hotspot in Gingerbread, the phone would notify that the specific service was not available on my plan, then I would lose all data connections to the phone requiring a reboot.
Reviewed MCPE-485, yes it is very similar, however I am unable to test the hotspot feature to see if the server becomes available.
HotSpot feature not available on my plan, refuse to pay for it out of principle. I see it as double dipping for the same data. This issue is observed when connected to a wireless router, and multiplayer is local to the Intranet. I'm not aware of PE having Internet capabilities yet. It's as if the HTC Evo 3D is blocking the server ports, making unseen by the clients on the local network. Though there is no firewall I know of in ICS, and I have no firewall/antivirus software installed.
