While playing on a SMP my friends and I noticed that occasionally a few of our name tagged mobs would despawn.
This has happened with a range of mobs including axolotls, endermen, goats, etc. We have not seen this happen on single player.
This did not occur before 1.17

How can you take a screenshot of something not being there? I'm experiencing a similar issue - 8 name-tagged axolotl in my squid farm all despawned.
@unknown, you are using optifine and this is likely the cause of this issue hence why I asked the reporter for a screenshot/video. With that being said, @unknown, did you happen to be using optifine when experiencing this issue?
@Avoma I do not use optifine. It is happening both to myself and friends who use and don't use optifine. Unfortunately, I don't have any screenshots with F3 with the nametagged mobs, so I am checking with my friends and will try to see if we can get some screenshots.
These are the only ones I have for my enderman that was nametagged Alastor. I Have taken a few screenshots of a few other mobs, and will keep you updated. Apologies for not having any screenshots at hand.
I've never heard of Optifine causing name-tagged mobs to despawn and it is very widely used. It's certainly never happened to us before.
Edit: also Optifine being client-side, could it cause such an effect?
I've now noticed this happening for tropical fish placed using buckets. They're in a closed glass tank so haven't gone anywhere.
Please provide some screenshots and/or videos of this issue occurring whilst the F3 debug screen is enabled.
