Animated blocks (notably water and lava) render incorrectly on some graphics

It also affects minecraft realms, but I haven’t tested a server. Only flowing water displays correctly and using a texture pack will break flowing water/lava but fix static water/lava. It only affects Prefer OpenGL/Default and none of the presets fix the issue. My computer specifications are an Intel core i5 3340 4 cores, 12 GB ram, and Intel HD Graphics

This very bad

Affects 26.2 Pre-Release 5

The issue affects 26.2 release candidate 2 as well.

Strangely, however, the drop will be released tomorrow evening, but it still hasn't been fixed. Maybe it will happen in the hotfix.

Affects 26.2. This very strange. Wait hotfix.

What do we do?? Also the light blocks are all black like lanterns the texture is all black

has there been any fix?? this post has been here for like 14 days now

I got this bug too, I reported it and said it was a dupe of this; in my case seaweed, the ocean is basically gone, almost all nether textures, lanterns, cauldrons, they all are buggy, i couldnt check the end's textures, idk abt ya'll tho

Happens the same to me, it has been 14 days till this was posted and the error is still in game in the lastest 26.2 (Chaos Cubed) update.

This has not been fixed for a long time, it prevents the game from playing. The workaround is the use of resource packs to change the textures of water and lava. However, the modified textures of water and lava cannot be used at the same time - they conflict.

With this issue cannot play in the world

Same for me with default minecraft pack resources. Lava is black and water haven´t texture. This happened with in last 26.2 update. Please resolve it.

The error is still in game, cannot play with it :(

o meu está assim também e blocos de iluminação tipo lampião ficam pretos ou trocando de cor tipo tv de tubo antiga

obs isso já em uma versão estavel 26.2

I've had the same issue since pre-release 3 and it persists in version 26.2

I tried everything didnt fix what do we do man

I have the same issue it’s been days and no help, the lantern texture is glitchy too and all light blocks like sea lantern too this is unplayable Im gonna cry when will this fix? I can’t afford a new laptop this one barely runs by HELP US MINECRAFT DO SOMETHING

It still hasn't been fixed. If this does not happen before the beginning of July, then we will look for workarounds.

It's genuinely unplayable; it doesn't just affect my main world, but basically all my Minecraft. What I could do for y'all is uninstall Minecraft and reinstall it. Though recently I got it to work again, so it's risky for me to do it, I run on an i5, running Windows 10. I have 4 GB installed on it, and the game in general is normal, but the textures make it risky in all game-wise aspects. Any tips?

I tried 100 ways to fix this none worked. Obviously deleting and reinstalling the game I tried every single way using Ai and YouTube also Reddit , nothing will work until theres a new fix by Minecraft, I want to play so baddd but I can’t with this

How long has it been man where is the damn fix hopefully it’s within a week or less

almost 3 weeks and no update I WANT TO PLAY

The lanterns also has this same issue its completely dark

Yea the lanterns has that problem. I genuinely had to use my world back up and play on version 26.1.2 and lost alot of progress but idc am not waiting for them to fix it, imma stick to this version I can’t wait

Hey! Thanks everyone for engaging with this issue. Could you all share your GPU models, operating systems and if the issue also happens with Vulkan?
So far we could not reproduce it on any of our devices.

Processor and videocard Intel

Vyoejp specific model is important. The issue is not present on modern intel CPUs and GPUs as far as we know. If you don’t know exactly, attaching a screenshot of your F3 screen in the “Default” debug profile would be great.

And yes, the issue occurs with Vulkan

any fix?

having same problem

Third gen i5 cpu, no gpu, intel hd 2500 graphics and I did install the latest driver just to be sure.

No hotfix… Sad life…

i have the same problem i am intel i3-gen3 witch intel hd 2500

Guys if you don’t want to wait for a fix just play on an older version I play on 26.1.2 and it works fine but 26.2 doesnt work

yeah i know but the problem is my 3 month old harcore world just got it updated and it is realy sad

I feel you bro I did so much in my realm but we had to go back nothing we can do Atleast we will play

true

seems also be connected with the long lasting black screenshots bug Taken screenshots are rendered as a black image on Intel graphics of Gen7 and Gen7.5 architecture - Minecraft: Java Edition - Jira Service Management as it affects on those devices too. both still exist in 26.3-snapshot-1

yeah i had the same problem i tried to open bug report but all my screenshots rendred as black

the problem i have no such problem with previous versions only with 26.2 as its previews

im russian and have the same problem

im italian and i have the same problem HOW DO I FIX THIS

There is no fix now guys I just play on 26.1.2 so yea until theres a fix I won’t update the version

I have the same issue even in the 26.3 snapshot

guys i found a way to fix it you need to use f3 and t fast until it fixes but you need to do it again it resets after you wuit the game

This doesnt work btw maybe you got lucky but for me I tried it alot it only fixes the lantern after like 10 minutes and if I leave and join its back glitchy also thw water never fixes

Same! Also, MC-309374 is the same issue as this.

Yeah, but it’s resolved as a duplicate, so it being resolved doesn’t mean much sadly.

It also seems my frames drop extremely low when loading new chunks without Bobby mod

So I tested all the presets, and (in order of fast, fancy, then fabulous), these were what they looked like (the last image is a second look for the fast preset, which happened after I tested all the presets in the above order (also, image 1 is for the display settings))

Mine is still like this; does anyone know how to fix it?

I uninstalled it and im here to follow up. It doesn’t work, old versions will most likely always work, i knew updating my world was a mistake… we need to get this bug resolved as soon as possible…

There is no hotfix version yet I find that strange but idk

Here’s the results in 26.3 snapshot 3 (Order: fast (before the others were tested), fast (after the others were tested), fancy, and then fabulous preset)

I don't know exactly what I did, but I think I made it worse.

For anyone affected by this issue on Intel HD 4000 series GPUs, I have been experimenting with a community-made Fabric mod that works around the problem by forcing the game to use the old writeToTexture path. It can be found on GitHub by searching for '26.2-Invisible-Water-Fix' (by user colGem-ga). Please note that this is an unofficial workaround and has not been tested by Mojang. Use it at your own risk. I am sharing this in case it is helpful while we wait for an official fix.
(PS: I've attached some screenshots showing the bug and the fix.)

I found another solution: its a texture pack that freezes block animations. You can find it as "26.2.X Animated Textures Fix" by RedderMan on Planet Minecraft. But there is an error in the soul lantern's texture.

@Timur Nazarov from what I’ve seen so far its manly on Intel HD Graphics 4000
PS I have the same problem

It’s also on intel hd graphics 2500, the one I have

Here’s what the blocks look like in snapshot 5 (they’re all the same basically, but the order is fast, fancy and then fabulous). By the looks of it another bug that makes screenshots made with the windows+printscreen combination (on windows) use the windowed resolution instead of the fullscreen view, even when the screenshot itself is being taken in fullscreen mode:

The blocks themselves are ordered like they are in the search tab of the creative inventory, just that I omitted warped stem and warped hyphae because they’re the same as their crimson counterparts.

August has already started, but the problem still hasn't been fixed. This is very unfortunate.

Mojang has raised the system requirements 10 days ago: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-java-edition-system-requirements.

All computers that have this bug now fall below the minimum requirements and are no longer officially supported. There is a very good chance they will never fix this bug, especially when they are actively working on not only modernizing OpenGL, but also eventually replacing it with Vulkan soon. Although there could always be surprises and I could be wrong.

If you want to continue playing the game without issues and workarounds, you should probably consider at least buying a computer with an i5-6400 (HD Graphics 530) or greater which is very cheap nowadays and has better GPU support, much better driver support, and most importantly, official support for Vulkan 1.3. For those that have this bug on laptops, consider i5-8250U (UHD Graphics 620) or greater which is also very cheap, provided you do research and look for the right places.

Not very cool. People who do not have the opportunity to purchase new equipment will play on the old version or they will have to constantly use the resource pack to freeze animated textures.

I’m guessing that they will fix it, since they haven’t marked it as “won’t fix“ (hopefully they fix it, I’m honestly fine with a 26.21 or a 26.3.1 that quite literally only fixes this bug and nothing else, so people have a solid version to stay on that isn’t 26.1.2)

We are trying to. But it only reproduces on one specific generation of Intel integrated GPUs. We bought a machine with the correct hardware, reproduced the issue a couple of times, but after a Windows update it does not reproduce anymore. Reverting the driver back to an older version did not help reproducing it again. We will continue investigating, but so far no good results.

They published an article about the updated system requirements more than a month after this error appeared, and they could have fixed it right away, but apparently this error was not their priority. I believe they are urging us to buy a more modern and powerful processor in order not only to avoid the problem with animated textures, but also to play the game with a stable frame rate. They have to fix it anyway, because not everyone can afford new components, right? And by the way, the drop development cycle is coming to an end and the latest snapshot has recently been released, and then there will be pre-releases in one of which they should fix this error. At least that's what we all want to believe.

In the comment right above yours which you seem to have completely ignored, Mojang mentioned they are actively trying to fix the issue but hitting roadblocks. Please be patient.

Okay. No ploblems.

*Problems

ive clicked f3 + t or something to reset my texture packs even tho i had none, water looked a bit differently but still glitchy like flashing dots

Here’s my look at snapshot 8 for this glitch (should I continue this? I’m not sure if it makes sense anymore. Anyway, the order’s still fast, then fancy, then fabulous):

I think I made it worse lol

here’s the settings I used for this:

Same issue here, Intel Core i5-3360M ,Intel HD Graphics 4000, 8GB RAM

Mine’s core i5 3470 with intel hd graphics 2500, RAM’s the same though.

i also have an intel r graphics 4000
