How can I stop mobs from despawning?
I am using Spigot, some plugins, and I want to make like a zoo on a map, with mobs behind glass cubes. The problem is that when I load my map, every time some of the mobs just vanish, empty cages. I put eggs again, they spawn, I go to my other map in the multiverse (/mv tp my_other_map) and when I come back, empty cages again, always the same ones...
I've read it's a question of distance of me (distance in cubes unit), if I'm too far away, the mobs will despawn... Is there a way for them to stay?

Just as an extra option to colorfusion's solution: putting a name tag on a mob will prevent them from despawning as if they were a tamed animal like a cow or chicken. This obviously does not work if the difficulty is set to peaceful as that will despawn the mobs,
