I would expect that texture packs would stay consistent up until 1.19, but in this snapshot my homemade texture pack is no longer compatible. I have no clue what caused this or if Mojang did it intentionally.
(It would help if someone could comment on my post)
And yes, 9 is the correct format. but I expected it to stay consistent until 1.19 and then it changes.

No. In fact, it's actually 9, which is the format I expected for 1.19, although this may be intentional. Is it intentional? I wouldn't think so, but to really know the answer we'd have to ask the devs.
I loaded my own resource pack with data format 9 and it worked fine. The pack will still work as normal, regardless of the incompatibility though. The only difference between format 8 and 9 is a tiny change to cocoa bean texturing.
I know 9 would work, as I stated above, but the bug here is that I expected the pack format to stay 8 until 1.19 in which then it would update to 9. But this snapshot changes that which I don't think the devs would change for a snapshot.
That the format number has already changed early in the development cycle of an update is not a bug; if it would change 2 times in 1 cycle, that would be a bug.
And also, why would the devs change the pack format in a snapshot? The changelog does not mention it
Because that snapshot included a change that would break existing resource packs. It's not that difficult to understand...
Is the pack format updated to 10?
