This could also be because the player is also rendered as an entity, so if all entities are invisible the player would also be.
Affects 24w09a, MC-169113 may be the root cause
This last worked correctly in 21w16a. Over the next few snapshots, entities would briefly flicker after death but ultimately kept rendering. Finally, in version 1.17-pre1, entities would disappear and not return. This issue has persisted since then.
Does the chunk unload and stop ticking on death? I wonder if that’s why this happens. Still a problem on 1.21.5 and 1.21.6 snapshots.
