 Description   

Entity#isValid() returns false for all entities after restarting the server.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Summon an entity: /summon minecraft:pig
  2. Call isValid() on the entity, it will return true
  3. Stop and restart the server
  4. Call isValid() on the entity, it will return false

The attached test plugin prints the value of isValid() when you right-click an entity.

Entity#isInWorld() also returns false. Most likely caused by https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/bukkit/pull-requests/915/overview.
