Candalabrums not working right?

[Blaze]

Didn't they say that candalabrums are supposed to work for 1 in-game week? Mine hasn't been burning for an in-game day and it's already gone out.

Cause the server crashed an hour ago.

They go out early even without crashes. When there's nobody in the area for a certain amount of time the area gets unloaded from server memory resulting in burnt out candles.

Oh, yes, right. I understand this bug now. I'll get around to fix it.

Is that how the twenty-minute animal despawn works then?

Nope, they are implemented with a completely different (though not entirely different in spirit) and more predictable mechanism.

there goes my plan to herd animals and keep them penned before taming comes out by using candles
