Mobs are despawning when dropping close to them from a height (Video:VIDEO 1). It only works on Superflat worlds (I tested it on a regular world). It can cause issues while using the mace.
How to Remake:
Load a Superflat world. My settings had creative and cheats on.
Seed (if relevant): -2707343202733730408
Coordinates: x=272, z=-253
Build 41 blocks up.
Wait for mobs to spawn
When jumping down, the mobs despawn.
PS: It does not happen 100% of the time (Video: VIDEO 2).
Thanks Mojang!

This is not a bug. From the 1.16.0 changelog:
Almost all naturally spawning mobs will automatically despawn when they're 44 blocks or further away from the nearest players in a world with simulation distance 4. On higher simulation distances, mobs are despawned when they're in a chunk at the edge of the simulation distance up to a distance or 128 blocks from the nearest player
Increase the simulation distance to avoid the issue.
