My Longtime Villagers Disappeared

I have an entirely survival world with no cheats, and I worked hard to get my villagers. They have been part of my world for a while. First, one villager disappeared, but I didn't see it, so I thought maybe a mob killed it, even though the place they are in is really safe, and I play in peaceful half the time.

Then another disappeared, but I saw it happen and ALT- F4ed out. I managed to save it.

I log back in to check, and within a minute, it happened again. THIS TIME I SAW THEM DISAPPEAR. (B4 I'm asked, yes they had beds and doors.) I tried to ALT-F4 again, but when I came back in to check, they weren't there. I had two more, so I thought I could restart the breeding process. Even though it took me forever to get me the villager trades I wanted the first time.. Mending and Unbreaking 3.. but then POOF! the last two villagers disappeared off my screen. I am ready to cry as I had spent a lot of time on this world.. Please help. There were more than enough beds, and there were doors close by. Three of them that vanished even had nametags on them.

I had the same problem. Villager who was caged in vanished. At one point I saw green sparkles like he was there, then later he popped out of a wall. But then after a night he vanished and never returned.

Now having the same issue on a self-hosted family server, since updating to 1.16.100.  We have (had) a village of 30 beds and 30 villagers.  Now over half the villagers are missing, and I noticed some are trying to sleep in the same bed (pic included, notice there are two in the top row trying to sleep together).  This was not an issue prior to the patch; they all identified, claimed, and pathed to their own beds.

I have just noticed this issue too! the update has made some of my villagers disappear from my trading hall.... Annoyingly its my Mending tader thats has disappeared along with a few others!
Im playing bedrock on PC.

Still no change to my villagers, they're sleeping in weird positions still, most villagers have dissappeared as mentioned before. Now my named zombies have all dissappeared as well; I had four of them. I've been seeing other mob bugs as well such as zombies in a spawner appearing to be frozen in place and a slime which was also frozen in place while simultaneously attacking me 15 or so blocks away from where it appeared to be. I'm really frustrated about the villager situation because I can't replace them until I know their replacements wont also dissappear.

I'm sorry to say there is a very unfortunate misunderstanding here. Mobs disappearing and freezing, and villagers sleeping all over the place and sliding off to the sunset are new bugs in 1.16.100 that we are tracking at MCPE-71243 and MCPE-101202. These bugs are only visual, and the mobs return to their correct positions and behaviors when you reload the world.

However, closing the game with ALT-F4 is equivalent to forcing it to crash, and that is likely to trigger another bug, MCPE-21416, in which mob data is completely lost from the world save. Crashes and forced closings prevent worlds from fully saving before they are closed, so what you'll have when you reopen it will depend on when each 16x16 part of the world (chunk) was last auto-saved, which is impossible to predict because chunks auto-save at different times and appear to do so in random order.
