Animals' texture and model can occasionally be displayed as fully white. This can be resolved by just reopening the game or even the world.

Press and hold "F3 + C" and attach the crash report so we can have more information about the cause of this issue.

Alternatively, please provide a screenshot of your game while you have the F3 debug screen open, preferably when pointing at one of the cows.

"file/teo's resources"
Check if this resource pack is causing the issue.

The pack doesn't touch mob textures, so I assume not, but I can't be sure- I restarted after the crash and the issue wasn't present anymore.

Okay, I did just realise this is not the first time this occurred for users, so this will act as the parent for any investigation.

I had this issue with zombified piglin texture after using "optimize world" option, but I believe that this issue was fixed in one of the recent snapshots, however if this was present after entering on 1.16 pre-release 3 for the first time, it may be related to this report about some of the resources not updating poperly. I also had this issue with Zombified Piglins. They were using second golden armor file as their texture, but don't have any screenshot of that. Anyway, what I mean is that this issue also disappeared only after restarting the game and didn't show since then, so it must be related to how game read assests. This kind of bug can appear in bedrock edition, on the android and iOS at least, but what it does is that most of the things swaps their textures.


Affects not just animals, see MC-190332.

Same thing with me. I got a horse with no texture. but it seems to be fixed when I joined my world today.

I can confirm. I had pure white skeletons in my world, and solved by restarting game.

I can confirm too, I actually reported it before finding this report. I reported it on MC-198756

Please provide a screenshot of your game with the F3 debug screen enabled while this issue is occurring.
Confirmed. There's no specific way to reproduce this, but from my experience, it happens regardless of which computer I'm using.

Same, i found a grass spider, (it looked like it had the grass texture), and then it turned white. Same thing with cave spiders except idk if grass cave spiders.
I can confirm in 21w05b.

This bug also occurs in 21w07a

confirm, if it uses different textures for mobs. it renders random texture(block texture, white texture. etc.)
Can confirm in 21w08b.

Can you give us steps to reproduce?
@unknown, there is currently no reliable method of reproducing this issue, as it happens completely randomly.

Is this still an issue in the latest versions?
