Hostile mob despawning radius should be bigger than it currently is

In beta 1.16.20.5, the hostile mob despawning radius is too small and reduces the number of spawning spaces significantly. However, in the beta 1.16.0.59 and below, mob build-up was still possible if the player was standing in the corner of a chunk and the despawning radius would then cross simulation distance if it's on 4 chunks. To add more spawning spaces while also making sure mob build-up is fixed, mobs should despawn when outside the simulated chunks and when 120 blocks away from the player. This provides parity-(ish) with the java edition and won't break previous mob farms while successfully improving overall gameplay

    Since 1.16 has dropped my server has barely seen any overworld mobs spawn at all. On hard mode. The creeper farm has stopped producing ANYTHING. Traveling hundreds of blocks makes no difference. Nether spawns are fine, personal worlds are fine.

    The despawning radius has been fitted to match up with the stimulation distance (4) issue; (In which mobs would spawn within the 44 - 45 block radius, and instantly despawn.) This new 'fix' is practically band-aided on! The transforming of villagers, breeding of open livestock, and the capture of mobs has been made nearly impossible! Mob farms have become  extreme hurdles to design. This was a poorly designed fix that needs to be addressed. Java parity of 128 block radius despawning would be highly appreciated and provide a much easier solution to troubles caused by the Bedrock 1.16 update.
