thanks for the workaround! The only problems with that are,
you have to pay for the realms subscription
you have no xp.
But even then, its the only thing we can do until Mojang fixes this bug.
This happened to me on XBOX one S. It was just a small bug before 1.16.210, but then it became a major issue after the update. Before, restarting Minecraft would fix the issue, but now the 2nd player on split screen has lost all progress permanently. I have lost all my netherite tools and armor because of this bug. I know that my progress was reset and I did not just die, because if I open my ender chest, nothing is there! Please, Mojang, fix this bug. 😞
Yes, @DoggoKingTPG, because boats and minecarts are also classified as entities.
Could you provide a screenshot/video clip? This never happened to me in game.
Also, I was looking at some older comments and I just wanted to repeat some important info to anyone else saying what happened to them. It was said that mobs that move a lot are most likely to cross chunk borders, which is why they despawn the most. I'm talking villagers, minecarts, and bees. This is also why more stationary entities, like armor stands, don't despawn much from this bug.
@Alex Groot, so this means this bug is not only caused by mobs crossing chunk borders. Did this ever happen before or was your horses despawning recent?
I realized that you can use the character creator as player 2 and create your skin all over again, but this is is a waste of time since it will be deleted after you save and quit the game. 😞
This may be a different bug, but it occurred to me on Xbox. This world was the first world we had on an Xbox. We played for a loong time. We stopped playing Minecraft for about a year, and then when we returned to play, the world never opened. Every time we clicked on that world, it would attempt to open, but it always crashed. After months, we tried opening the world again, and it finally worked. However, something was wrong. Terribly wrong. This is a clip of what we saw that day. https://gamerdvr.com/gamer/creepertnt745/video/114594908
You can see the info_update block among the weird structures that randomly appeared. We haven't even gone to the end yet, but there are shulker boxes everywhere! Random items are scattered across the world and tons of blocks are stacked. It wasn't shown in the video, but missing texture blocks were also in the "buildings."

@Mew and Minami, you could continue your project, since this bug isn't always that common. Try staying near your villagers and avoid going to the nether. This isn't a guaranteed workaround, but maybe you can look closely and see if your villagers are despawning even when you are right next to them.

You have to dye the sign.
Awesome!!
Thanks @MD, I was curious. I do hope this bug gets fixed. Valuable villagers despawn randomly, too. I also saddled a pig, but it was gone after I went to the nether and back.
I fed an ocelot some fish, went to look for another ocelot, but when I returned, my original ocelot was gone. I also tamed a bunch of parrots in the jungle. After making them sit, I ventured into the nearest jungle temple. When I came out, they were all gone. Playing on Xbox one, but not on realms. Split screen multiplayer. I wonder if this is a different bug since everyone is reporting this on a realms server??
happened to me too. Local split screen multiplayer.
Does not work for shulker boxes either. Tested in both survival and creative. I was trying to get the organizational wizard achievement by naming a shulker box, but I could not rename it. However, tools and armor can still be renamed.
Confirmed in Xbox one.
The hat is not in the character creator anymore.
@fp, there is no real solution to this bug, but it would help if you prevented your horses and villagers from crossing chunk borders by enclosing them in a fence or pen that is only in one chunk (16x16 blocks). You could also avoid going to the nether, because that also causes this problem. This won't guarantee your mobs not despawning, but its the only thing you can really do to help.
