I've had this exact bug happen without any forced quits, and it's practically destroyed what I've been working on in my world for months, with my 4 dogs, 2 cats, 2 llamas, 2 axolotls, 2 horses, bunch of villagers, and EVERYTHING despawn and disappear, even having name tags, leads, boats, etc on them. I don't remember force quitting in a long while, and I carefully re-loaded the world once realizing it, to no effect.
