 Description   

Summary

Non-player entities that enter a Nether portal in the Nether do not re-appear in the Overworld until the server restarts.

Test case

  1. Tame a horse.
  2. Bring the horse into the nether.
  3. Bring the horse back out of the nether.
  4. Restart the server.

What happened

The horse was not visible until step 4.

What I expected

The entity would be visible by step 3.

How that differed from my expectations

The entity disappeared until a server restart.

verified for nether 2 overworld 1.9 and 1.9.2 latest. they can go from overworld 2 nether no problem but not back.

This may include entities leaving the nether as well, but I couldn't reliably reproduce that.

However this bug is true of all nonplayer entities not just horses.
