Villagers appear to disappear after a long period of time, don't respawn.

I had a nice WIP VillageBox town on a server I play on. I went offline for two days, and returned to a completely empty village. I was willing to rebuild the village's population again, but the homes are all still claimed by their nonexistent owners.

Not sure what's causing the bug, getting no messages on the client, and I don't believe the admin has found any messages on the server.

I wouldn't even care if this issue got fixed if there was a way to force-resurrect all the villagers in a village, or within a particular house. That might be something to consider, so that if your mod does break, it's not too hard to undo while waiting for a proper fix.

Loving the mod otherwise though, keep up the good work!

Update: apparently the villagers did not despawn. However, they were found about 200 blocks away from their homes, after being in unloaded chunks for a long time. It's possible another player came and took them away from their homes and left them there, I do not know.

It would still be useful to have a way to resummon the villagers. Maybe a "town bell" that summons all living villagers to their homes?
