I'm not sure where to put this, but this seems the best place as https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-8002 is now closed as fixed.
On our realm, we continually have villagers and animals despawn. At first I was ecstatic after MCPE-8002 was resolved, but then it wasn't. So then it appeared that it had to do with going to/from the nether. I destroyed all nearby portals in the hopes that moving between nether and overworld had to do with chunks being loaded. I've got this great shiny barn/village center that I built, connected to a zombie spawner, set up conversion centers, conveyance systems.... and the ~30 villagers that I put there are all gone. Again. For the third time. It's one thing to lose hours of work because you do something dumb like fall in lava. It's another to lose many, many hours of work because of bugs. Never mind the utility lost (mostly collect librarians; we've now lost a few unbreak3's, silk touch, infinity, efficiency 4, etc) in this latest batch of despawns.
SuperGeniusZeb do you think the issue with villagers despawning is now related to a realms-specific bug? I posted over at MCPE-21416. I have a villager "barn" where they all live in minecarts in little slots against the walls. When I logged in tonight they were just gone. Along with all my animals. Poof. Minecarts are gone as well. So much wasted time, and so many wasted resources (gold apples ain't exactly cheap when you are replacing your villagers with converted zombies for the 3rd time).
