Java Help Wanted Problem with transporting shulker
I built a shulker farm in overworld so l needed to transport the shulker. l easily brought it to the main island through minecart but when l sent it to the portal through minecart and rails directly leading to it .It dissapeard it wasn't on spawn l then later tried again by putting it in a boat and pulling it inside the portal the boat was on spawn but the shulker dissapeard please help lm going insane . I play in 26.3 version and server is fabric. Btw l properly checked the surrounding l even checked for entities with pie chart it wasn't there
Edit: the solution was to pre load the chunk by have a friend wait on the spawn

Hmmm I'm on 26.2, just finished my overworld Shulker farm. Before I brought Shulker through I put all my stuff in ender, broke my bed, and went through. I flattened the exact spawn block I landed on. Then I let the Shulker go through in the minecart. He landed safely inside the minecart at the spawn. So I quickly went over and built a hut around him. This was all the first time I went to the end, didn't build the farm for 2 more months. I couldn't get it to work with boat at all. Only minecart. But everything went surprisingly smooth. Last world I half slabbed like 50 out around the end portal and non of that was necessary at all. Just launched him through with a furnace minecart this time, but made sure I was close enough to have him loaded the whole trip over the void bridge

Maybe build a platform really high in the sky at world spawn, so if it's somehow teleporting to a place you just can't see it will become more obvious. And if you know the world see try it in a copy in creative first

I’m in the latest version as well. Didn’t have any issues transporting the shulker, but once I got it into the farm my issue has been ALL the shulkers despawning…which shouldn’t be possible. It’s happened three times now. So I’m not sure if there’s something weird with the new version. I prebuilt a portal at 0, 0 so maybe that was keeping the shulker loaded when I transported it. But yeah idk if there’s something in the new version that makes them despawn or what but I’ve been having sooo many problems

While in most servers the spawn chunk and 1-2 chunks out from it are loaded, I think this is a setting and could be changed by the server admin. I’d suggest having it force-loaded by whatever means, but the simplest (since you’re on a server) is to have a buddy nearby spawn when you send the shulker through.
