After we updated to 1.19.71 all Endermen disappeared on the main End island I'm terraforming. Ive gone in caves with zero light no mobs, the nether has no mobs, not even fish are spawning. I double checked that Mob spawning is on and the difficulty is set to hard. The only mobs that are spawning are from spawners. All villagers and animals we had before the update are still here.
