Relates to MC-65040.
The player entity doesn't render when facing some angles above Y=255 in third-person. At Y=256, when having a block underneath you and look straight up, your player entity will not render. Heights over Y=256 don't need a block underneath player to reproduce. The angles that makes this issue reproduce differ from which height you are at, but the angles are almost the same all the time.
Other entities also stops rendering at the same angles.
