Yeah, bugs like this do affect others, not only gameplay but their day & interactions from that day which can lead to all sorts of stuff but ya gotta know how to handle it. Kept on losing my gfs horse, just lost it again actually. One time it appeared in a field, tamed & w/ it’s full diamond armor & saddle but name tag was gone. Didn’t know it was the actual one. Think I found it again or close enough to it, but now it has despawned w/ the armor as well as 3 others w/ their armor & saddle, name tagged or not. Deleted all my chickens in the coop, and the 3 villager I painstakingly rowed on so much land (at least 1,300 blocks). I wish there was a way to spawn in a villager or horse to your specifications (like 11 heart horse, 5 block jump, etc.). If there is a way, plz tell me
And as previously stated, I didn’t lose all of my entities due to saving & quitting, mine happened when fixing a bug which wouldn’t let blocks drop. It happened when I was in the settings menu turning tile drops back on & off again & when I went back to the house, everything was gone, except for the axolotls thank goodness. The bees also didn’t despawn even though they were much farther away from other entities that did go away. Sorry for the essay, wanting to provide context to help pinpoint the bug.
