The tail of invisible tadpoles doesn't render when viewed from certain angles

The tail will not render when viewed in spectator mode, or when the entity is on the same team as the player.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Spawn a tadpole

  2. Make it invisible:

    /effect give @e minecraft:invisibility infinite
  3. Change gamemode to spectator

Observed Behavior:

The tail of the tadpole will not be visible when looking at the left-hand side of the entity:

Expected Result:

The tail would be visible at all times, regardless of the entity's effects, or the gamemode the player is in:

Possible Fix:

Add a 'backside' to the texture of the texture of the tadpole's tail. Here is a resource pack which demonstrates this fix (could cause z-fighting):

Can confirm. As stated in the issue, this only occurs when viewing the tadpole on the left side.

Can confirm in 1.21.6
