Entity Model Disappears Despite "never_despawn: true" in Components

When using this code in components of an entity, for example a spider

 

   "minecraft:tick_world":{   
     "never_despawn": true 

 

As per the "never_despawn: true" setting, the entity should persist in the world indefinitely, and its model or appearance should always be visible. However, I've observed that the entity's model or appearance still disappears after moving a certain distance, even with "never_despawn: true" enabled.

It appears that there may be a missing value or parameter to specify the entity's render distance or visibility range. In theory, with "never_despawn: true" set, the entity's appearance should remain visible or there should be a new value in the code to define its render distance, ensuring it doesn't disappear prematurely.

 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a world.

2. Add the addon that includes the modified entity definition.

 

3. Notice that a spider entity spawns and moves away from the player by more than 64 blocks.

 Observed Result:

that the entity's model or appearance disappears despite having the "minecraft:tick_world" setting "never_despawn: true."

 

Expected Result:

With "never_despawn: true" enabled in the "minecraft:tick_world" section of the addon's entity definition, the entity's model or appearance should persist and remain visible within a specified render distance, rather than disappearing after a short distance.

 

This issue affects gameplay and should be addressed to ensure that entities with "never_despawn" enabled within an addon's entity definition behave as expected in terms of their model's visibility. Additionally, it's recommended to introduce a value to define the render distance for the entity's appearance.

Works As Intended
