So this happened last night, but kind of at the tail end of my session and right before I had to get to bed, so I didn't have time to post anything about it, but here is what happened:
I've been working on building a mob grinder with two spawn chambers. I have them more or less all ready to go at this point so I figured it was time to give one of the spawn chambers a test to make sure the design would actually work. I had 3 Cave Spider Spawners that I had found and had a couple people silk touch for me. I also had a Skeleton Spawn Egg that I had won in an auction a few days ago. I grabbed the spawn egg and one of my spawners. I went to the spawn chamber I was going to test and my plan was to place the spawner and then use the egg to make it a Skeleton Spawner. However, upon placing the spawner, it placed as a spawner for about a half a second and then before I could do anything else, the spawner turned into a skeleton. Not a skeleton spawner, mind you, the spawner itself turned into a skeleton. Obviously, I had to kill the skeleton and nothing was dropped and the spawner was gone. Once this happened, I made my was back to my home, debating if I wanted to grab another spawner and try it again, but then once I got inside my house the Skeleton Spawner Egg was gone. It just sort of disappeared from my inventory. Once this happened I looked EVERYWHERE, thinking maybe I had accidentally hit the Q button and tossed it, but no, nothing. It was in my inventory bar when I walked into my house, I looked away from my screen for a second and when I looked back, the egg was gone.
Unfortunately, I have 0 screen shots to prove that any of this actually happened (honestly, who expects something like this to happen ha ha), so I kind of assume there is no way to get the spawner or the egg back. Spawner is kinda whatever, sucks but I have 2 more in a chest and two more in a mine below my base that I haven't grabbed yet. The egg, that one kinda sucks, but not too bad. I think I only paid about 1500 for it in the auction, so I am not too worried about that, more or less lol (I REALLY wanted a skeleton spawner). What I am concerned about, however, is that I don't want this to happen again. Is there something I was supposed to do to place the spawner or is it a server glitch kind of issue? As far as the egg goes, I just wanted to kind of report that it had happened.
Any help or insight into this situation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
