[MC-212629] Leashes from two or more invisible entities connect to each other

The Bug

The visual leash created when leading two or more invisible entities wether attached to the player or a fence connects to the endpoint of other leashes. This can easily be recreated by putting two cows in glass boxes then leading both and splashing them with invisibility.

Steps to Reproduce

Obtain two leads and summon two cows in front of you.

/summon minecraft:cow ~1 ~ ~-2.5 {NoAI:1b}
/summon minecraft:cow ~-1 ~ ~-2.5 {NoAI:1b}

Attach a lead to each of the cows and give both of them the invisibility effect.

/effect give @e[type=minecraft:cow,sort=nearest,limit=2] minecraft:invisibility 999 0

Look at the leashes carefully.
Take note as to whether or not leashes from two or more invisible entities connect to one another.

Observed Behavior

Leashes from two or more invisible entities connect to one another.

Expected Behavior

Leashes from two or more invisible entities would not connect to one another.

Just to clarify, this issue did not exist in 1.16.5. Also can confirm in 21w18a.

Can confirm for release 1.17.

Definitely an annoying issue with Minecraft 1.17. When leads between invisible entities are used for cosmetic displays, the glitching looks really bad.

KirbAvion 2021-07-03T07:15:52Z

Can confirm in 1.17.1 release candidate 1.

Stijn Bannink 2021-07-31T16:00:10Z

Glitches are not visible if you view in Spectator mode.

I've tape-fixed this bug with resource pack. Download there: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bmbufltqjxok3l3/leashFix.zip?dl=1

I'm sorry if this comment violates the rules or my pack doesn't work.

This looks like it might be fixed in 22w12a, can anyone else confirm?

ampolive 2022-03-29T12:13:14Z

Not fixed in 22w12a, it is just not visible from certain angles because of the way the lead is rendered.

KirbAvion 2022-03-29T13:18:51Z

Oh, shoot, you know what, the resource pack in my test world still has Vlad's patched shader file in it. Well, at least we know that still works.
