If any data pack has a malformed tag (references a nonexisting item or tag, references itself, or has a malformed ID), the data pack loading system will encounter a cascading failure that prevents any tag from loading. The most visible result of this is that the leaves on natural trees will begin to despawn, as they can no longer tell that they are connected to logs, since the minecraft:logs
tag never got loaded. The attached data pack will cause this issue.
As a note, it seems this is primarily happening on dedicated servers, and not in client worlds.
