Can I keep enemies from despawning?

[Trex_Crazy]

So a little bit ago a drifter spawned in my pigpen and it gave me the idea to keep a drifter alive in his own home and call him Greg. Curious if there is a base game way to keep them from despawning.

you could capture sawblades and bells both those have persistence through chunk unloading/loading.  the other mobs will despawn once the chunk unloads
