MCPE-65625Hitting mob, or mob hitting you, does not cause persistence
The new mob despawning rules are supposed to not despawn mobs with persistence. One of the things that is supposed to cause persistence is the mob hitting the player, or the player hitting the mob. When either of these actions occur, and you move 54 blocks away from the mob, it will instantly despawn.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Find a naturally spawned mob.
- Hit the mob or have it hit you.
- Move 54 blocks away from the mob.

This definitely needs to be fixed, so players have an easy way to prevent mobs from despawning.
not only is a easy way, but it add so much to the immersion of the game, if i hit a mob and he falls in a hole, its nice to have he back there when i come back, the despawn should happen to mobs that did not Interact with the player as they don't add anything to the game, and give a chance to spawn new stuff.
To quote the changelog which mentioned the new despawning rules:
Despawn Rules have been changed to closely match Java Despawn Rules (
