Seems to be an issue with bot spawn. I have tried to load a bot in the Overworld for testing a mob farm, specifically a portal-based guardian farm.

I tried the following (whilst in the nether):

execute in minecraft:overworld run player name X Y Z spawn

and

player name spawn at X Y Z facing A B in minecraft:overworld

Both times only a few guardians spawned in / loaded for a few seconds and the farm stopped.

When I summon a bot in the overworld and go to the nether it works fine.

I'm wondering if this is an issue or is it something I am doing wrong?

Thanks

is it possible that the bot is dying for some reason? like is it in a safe space?

Try reproducing with /gamerule showDeathMessages true, then checking the server and client logs for the death message.
If the bot dies, a death message should be logged to the server and client.

The bot is definitely not dying, I have tried enclosing in glass. And I can kill it afterwards.

1. If this is on a server, have you tested this on a new creative world?
2. What exact farm design are you trying to run? The issue might not be the bot unloading, but a problem with the farm's design.
