All of the entities where I loaded into the game were gone except for my dyed sheep. The entities that disappeared were villagers, cows, pigs, chickens, horses, dogs, and cats. When I went to my other village farther away those villagers were still there. Happened on 1.18.2. This has happened to me before once but this time was the most annoying because I made a village near my house that had villagers with good trades that disappeared.
