Entity Counter (the number behind E:) in the F3 menu always shows 0

As a speedrunner i wanted to check if e-ray still works in this version. E-ray is a strategy using the entity counter (the number behind E:) in the F3 menu (when enabling entity_render_stats in the F3 customization menu), which is supposed to show the number of all entities rendered on the screen in relation to total rendered entities, to find bastion remnants because they generate already with the Piglins and Piglin Brutes inside of them. The second number is getting compared to 2 numbers called M: and C: from the entity_spawn_counts setting. If E - (M+C) > 30 you have a bastion loaded. Alternatively you could also check the directory root.tick.entities in the pie chart (opened with F3+1) for Piglin Brutes to see if you have one loaded. To make the direction more clear you zoom in by setting your FOV to 30. Normally you’d expect a spike of at least 30 entities up to 70 entities (Stables Bastion). Instead in 1.21.11 it always shows 0 entities as the first number while the second number which shows the total amount of entities seems to work fine. Even when i look at a bastion it is 0 when it is not supposed to be. In the picture i’m clearly looking at entities so the number shouldn’t be 0.

To reproduce the bug, try to find any form of entities (like farm animals in the overworld), look at them and turn the F3 menu on with entity_render_stats enabled. It will show E: 0/X where X is the total number of entities rendered.
