To Andrew Bender, Patrick Quinn, Dylan Ernest Thomas , Tim Rohal, Richard Smith, Marcel Dewith, & Sarah, as well as anyone else still experiencing mob despawn issues:
Having read the recent comments, and after having discussed it with the other moderators, it seems clear that the bug that people are experiencing is a separate one from MCPE-8002, and that this bug is caused by going to the Nether and/or using Realms. I'm currently trying to figure out if MCPE-21416 happened on Realms or LAN/XBL multiplayer. I suspect this is either a Realms bug or a multiplayer-in-general bug. MCPE-21416 will probably wind up being the ticket for this remaining mob-despawn bug.
My son and I have been playing multiplayer on AppleTV + an iPad, and ever since 1.0.5.0, we have been experiencing this bug. If both of us travel to the Nether and then both return, all of our farmed cows and chickens disappear. We have seen this happen on 1.0.6.0 as well. This has made it really hard to play the game because our sources of food and arrows are now both gone, and we cannot replenish them. By way of further explanation, the game is hosted on AppleTV, and I am the one joining from an iPad, and I think have been the one to interact with the animals (feeding, breeding, slaughtering). I am not, but I think my son has not interacted with them. Is this happening because he needs to interact with the animals since it is his game? By further way of explanation, this nether-despawning of our animals seemed to have started when I fell into lava in the nether and died over there (and respawned in the overworld), but now it happens every time we go to the nether.
Strangely, we are now seeing a lot of other supposedly-resolved bugs starting in 1.0.5.0. I see the same item show up in multiple slots in the hot bar, even though I don't have multiple stacks of it, and when I feed animals, there is a chance that what I am feeding them (wheat, seeds) gets duplicated into another inventory slot, replacing something more valuable. I lost a bed this way while exploring, and I lost a stack of cooked meat.
Is there a thing where these old bugs affect the latest MCPE now?
