It’s far from rare to findMinecraftfans sharing frustrating bugs that are frequently encountered on the game’s Bedrock version, but a bug seemingly related to leads can result in player’s livestock - and pets - disappearing from their worlds without a trace. While both ofMinecraft’s primary versions each harbor a large number of players, the game’s Bedrock Edition is arguably more widespread thanks to its availability on mobile and console platforms, though it continues to suffer from many bugs as the developers work to improve parity between the Bedrock and Java versions.
ThoughMinecraftwas born as a Java-based game, its massive growth over the past decade has largely been thanks to its expansion to platforms beyond PC. The game has been ported to practically every modern gaming platform under the sun over the years, and while its original Java Edition is still intact and thriving on its own, the Bedrock version has also continued to develop as a slightly different variation of the same game. Differences between the two versions are likely hard to notice for newer players, but a different foundation of code and alternate world storage format carried countless consequences for the game’s console version that sets it apart from the original from a technical perspective.

Although the development team at Mojang seem to have put an increased focus on achieving greater parity between the game’s versions over the past few years,MinecraftBedrock Edition has gained a reputationfor the sheer number of annoying glitches it frequently exhibits. One such disturbing bug was recently shared in a popular Reddit post from the user Odd-Detective3877, which showed three of their pet frogs vanishing while the player was trying to push them into an enclosure. The issue seems to be related to the lead item, as the frogs despawned after the lead they were attached to got severed by a door.
Others in theMinecraftcommunity were able to successfully replicate the issue themselves, and some have attributed it to a known bug that has persisted within the game’s Bedrock Edition for the past six years. Mobs randomly despawning in this version of the game has come to be quite acommon problem forMinecraftfarmersand pet-lovers alike, though many of these cases have been found to arise from mobs crossing chunk boundaries between auto-saves. Players have even found that assigning name tags to an animal doesn’t stop them from despawning, though putting them in a boat can help prevent it.
The Bedrock version forMinecrafthas been known to throw plenty of other frustrating bugs at fans too, many of which involve loading issues or even random deaths. Each major update for the game typically brings bug fixes as well as parity adjustments between Java and Bedrock, and so many fans hope that the upcoming 1.20 update will address some of the more major concerns surroundingMinecraft’s console version.
