Severe Graphics Issues on Intel GPUs Since Version 1.21.5

Since the update to version 1.21.5, severe visual glitches have been occurring on devices equipped with Intel graphics. These problems directly affect both gameplay and overall game stability.

Error Details:

  • Corrupted textures in inventory items, chests, and in-game text.

  • Pixel loss in items and visual elements.

  • In snapshot versions, the textures of characters, mobs, and text turn entirely green.

  • In some cases, opening a chest triggers item corruption until the screen freezes, although game audio continues in the background.

  • The error appears 5 to 10 minutes after starting a world and may persist even on the game’s main menu.

Observations:
All reported cases share one thing in common: the use of Intel graphics hardware. This suggests a potential conflict between the game engine and Intel’s video drivers.

Impact:
Under the current conditions, regular gameplay is unfeasible. Attached screenshots clearly illustrate the issues described above.
