[REALMS-13265] Named Ghast Disappears Despite Being in Safe Enclosure (Bedrock Edition)

I have a pet ghast (named with a Name Tag) in Minecraft Bedrock Edition, but it keeps disappearing even though it’s in a secure and safe enclosure. This makes the "Happy Ghast" feature unusable because the mob despawns without any reason.

If there are walls close to the ghast it will suffocate. Try keeping it in an open space with a lead to a fence post.

I was having the same issue and then watched it die because it turned facing the wall and then just suffocated. I made it like a helicopter landing pad with a fence post in the middle and used a lead. Hasn’t dies since I did that.
