My friends and I have a Minecraft Bedrock Realm set up and it seems like, ever since the 1.16 update, we have been losing mobs, mostly animals, including named ones. I have the most animals in our server, and I have lost plenty of my animals, both named and unnamed. Before the update, those animals were perfectly fine. I've even lost animals that I had since the beginning of the server, after naming them in hopes of stopping the unnamed animals from despawning.
I find it quite irritating, as some of them took a long time to get, and it will be difficult to get them back, if ever. I also even say I had some attachment to them, due to the journeys I had to take to get them and it's really upsetting that I keep losing them, especially after naming them. So I'm losing animals and nametags, and it makes me worried about whether I should stop naming them and hope they don't despawn from being unnamed. Either way, I'm in a lose-lose situation.
Any solutions?
