The bug
If a text display entity has its see_through
tag set to true
, it will always be rendered behind entities, block entities, clouds and semi-transparent blocks.
How to reproduce
Create a text display with
see_through
enabled:/summon text_display ~ ~1 ~-1 {"text":'"Text display"',"see_through":true}
Spawn a pig behind the text display:
/summon pig ~ ~ ~-3
→ ❌ The pig is rendered in front of the text display

Was this using the Fabulous graphics mode?

All three graphics modes are affected.

Can confirm in 1.20.3 Release Candidate 1
It was tested with all three graphic modes.

This is still happening in 1.21

I can confirm that this issue persists across all 1.21.X versions, including, at the time of writing this, Minecraft's latest version, 1.21.3.

Can confirm in 1.21.5
I've removed the part about
{see_through:false}
as it's already tracked in MC-259812.
