I killed witches for about 12 hours (trident killer), several thousand blocks from world spawn.
Then I moved around a bit (check storage, return to afk spot) and shortly after the game crashed.
Upon reloading, the tridents despawned, and all entities near world spawn also despawned (armor stands, bee farm bees, minecarts, etc.). Interestingly, this did not affect entities in a third, unrelated location about a thousand blocks from spawn.

Hope this helps!
