Crime and Scents

[Meanz]

So, someone has burgled me in the last 6 hours.
They have broken my walls and robbed some items. But they left no scent? I thought you left scents when you commited crime?
The wiki didn't prove useful on this matter.

did you walk away from the map and come back? scent doesnt appear when you 1st log in, you have to reload map

[Meanz]

Yes, I have tried to make the map reload, nothing.

For clearance, I did that by entering my house in and our, relogging, entering my mine and back and by walking far away from the place and then walking back.

Turn on "Toggle Tracking"

[Meanz]

Oh wow, there should really be an entry under scents and criminality on the wiki for that.
Thanks.

In latikai's client there's an option to turn this on by default on login, pretty much no reason to not have this checked assuming you're not on vanilla (ender's might have it too)

[Meanz]

I don't know why it was toggled off, and I just realized that the wiki actually said that you need to enable tracking.

What type of walls did you have?

[Meanz]

I had stone walls. No torches/braziers though.

indeed - i am still not sure why one would ever NOT have tracking enabled, once it is unlocked. Note that technically, that option only enables Tracking AFTER you've logged in, so scents close to you will not become visible until after a reload (entering/exiting a house, or leaving the area and returning)
