Architect & Tradesman despawned & respawn after very long delay

[jade-lynx]

Hesitant to report this one, because I'm none too sure about reproducibility, and potentially just due to the extreme startup lag, but:

Town Hall has structure marker, has the glow indicating a valid structure. This was a 'naturally spawning' town hall (one of the villages that also has vanilla villagers). The Architect & Tradesman spawned in shortly after I first opened the door to the town hall. After a while I logged off (while in the town hall); on relogging in, it was nighttime; I saw one of them briefly, but he disappeared. After a while with neither reappearing, I tried breaking and replacing the town hall marker; apparently no effect. After quite some time -- as in at least 45 minutes, probably longer -- they reappeared.

This is on the survival 1 server, at x:7368 z:-5913

FWIW, they disappeared again, haven't reappeared yet. Possibly related: my farmer stopped moving after they disappeared...

I had that problem and I found that the door needs to be closed for the Architect & Tradesman to respawn.

[jade-lynx]

FWIW, the door is usually closed, so not sure that's a factor in my case.

For whatever it's worth: they just reappeared after a server restart.

architect and tradesman keep dispearing, repearing before the restart and after. Also unable to trade with them at all.

[jade-lynx]

This has happened a couple more times; on the latest occasions, they disappeared shortly after I logged back in. I was able to get them to respawn by tp-ing to spawn, waiting a bit to allow chunks to unload, and tp-ing back home; after short interval, the reappeared.

Had similar issue after restart when they both dissipated, tp to spawn and back helped.
