I play on a couple of LAN servers, with two other people. (KR is the world owner, and FC is ....the other friend) On one of them, a starting seed (Coastal Village) we live in a desert village. We have played in this world since we got Minecraft in July. Not a very long time to find a near game-breaking (or at least heartbreaking) bug. It is a bit of a big world, we have gone exploring quite a bit. We all play on Windows 10 laptops, mine is two years older. (But has a newer operation system, it's weird). This is one of, if not KR's first worlds. This bug is sorta two different things, that are also the same thing. It first happened about three months ago. All but two of KR's llama's (that she had just got the week before) disappeared. Along with half of my cats + half of KR's cats. FC was not there at the time, but he didn't lose one of his three cats. And, just to add insult to injury, half of our villagers disappeared. The villager problem gets worse though, with most of those villagers being ones that we had cemented into jobs. Also, the remaining villagers thought that the beds that those villagers that were gone had slept in, were still occupied, so they don't breed to fill the beds. Same with the job blocks. Along with this, we have no idea which bed is which because they rotate beds! That is probably its own bug, what I mean by that, is that when I marked the sleeping place of our level five tool smith one night, and I checked back the next night, he had moved to a different bed area entirely. They have one home bed, but we don't know who's bed is who's, because they move beds. Our village is a quarter of the size it once was because half the village disappeared again at a different time. Along with the llamas, cats (see next part), and villagers, KR's dyed sheep have disappeared as well, so we are in danger of having no sheep at all, we are down from two of every color, to one of only 12 colors, we also don't have any wheat, but that's on us. The next part only affects me, not KR, or FC. Our Nether portal, has two iron doors in front of it, got it? Opened by buttons on one side, and pressure plates on the other. All of my cats are sitting, the Nether portal is outside the house, and I rarely go to the Nether. The cats could not have gone through the Nether Portal, and they didn't teleport to me, they were already there, and no one caused the cats to stand either. Here's the second part of the bug, that might offer a reason for the first part. On two different occasions, when I went to the Nether, I found at least three of my cats, walking around, no apparent reason, I take out my fish, after sitting down all of them, lead one back home, and when I came back for the rest, they were gone (the first time, and the first time it was three cats in the Nether, the second time it was like seven + one of KR's cats that were supposed to be there, the second time I was able to rescue two). I later found the remaining two of the first three cats, that disappeared. The second time, I knew better, rescued three, and one of my dogs (I only have like, three dogs, so that dog was VERY important), I was trying to get all of them to come with me, but I accidentally went though. I sat down the ones I got and raced back though, and all but KR's cat, they were gone. This is EXTREMELY heartbreaking, and I feel for anyone else who had this happen. Due to the fact that my cats were teleporting to the Nether on they're own, I and KR developed a theory that, instead of the llamas, villagers, and cats despawning from the most loaded area in the entire world, which should be impossible, they're teleporting into other dimensions. Into the Nether, in areas we have not gone yet, and into the End. This is in a peaceful world, that we occasionally put on Easy. We have never gone to the End, despite knowing exactly where the portal is, and having the Eyes of Ender, because of the eventual end update, and we want a pristine End. Please, someone, fix this, so there is NO more possibility of one of our villagers disappearing, or, even scarer, one of our nametag pets disappearing! After I moved every almost single cat I own away from my bed, they have stopped appearing in the Nether, but there is NO evidence that this will work forever, and it almost probably won't. I say almost because I have a special cat, named Banner, who lives in a banner, on KR's side of the house. (For a long time both I and KR thought Banner was KR's, but when I accidentally right-clicked Banner, we discovered Banner was mine. Banner was also one of my earliest cats, so it was amazing to discover that she was mine. There is a happy story, to combat the sad story in this post.) Thank you all for reading.

PS. No screenshots are available, when even this happened, I was to busy freaking out, and trying to rescue my pets to take any. When we eventually go to the end, I will come back to this, and add some photos of the beds, the rotating villagers, and if the missing animals and villagers are in the end, I will include a photo

PSS. If it is impossible to edit a post, ignore the PS. This is my first post/bug report.

PSSS. I just wanted to say sorry for the ridiculous length of this post. I'll stop typing now, and let you get on with your life. 🐱
