Hello. I'm making a zoo on a server and all I'm missing is wither skeletons. Now they do have plugins like safari eggs so I can catch the wither skeletons. The problem is the minute I leave they despawn. I had staff name a few in creative. I dropped armor that they put on. I made sure the light levels was low enough. I even tried putting them in minecarts. They still seem to despawn. Does anyone have an idea how to get a wither skeleton so stay in its cage and not despawn everytime I leave or the server restart?
I've just checked, this sounded odd:
I'm able to successfully rename a Wither Skeleton using a nametag in survival (admittedly, one summoned from a spawn egg as I'm nowhere near a Nether Fortress in my survival world)
Possibly one or more of your plug-ins are preventing this?

Well you can't nametag a wither skeleton but we did give them things they picked up and they still despawned.
Commands exist. Just summon one with the desired name. I believe that prevents them from despawning.
Unless you're in survival. Then you can't nametag with an actual nametag.
you need to spawn it with a command, using the tag 'persistanceRequired:true' if I'm remembering correctly. Just look up entity format on the minecraft wiki.

Sounds like a problem with the server. Mobs that have picked up items or named with a nametag don't despawn.
