Note: Not only reproducible it with an ender crystal as the host, but with a simple minecart that is ridden by an entity, thus this error message can also occur in Vanilla Survival. According to @unknown this also happens in Survival with boats.
To reproduce, summon an ender crystal that has a passenger with a smaller render distance.
/summon end_crystal ~ ~1 ~ {Passengers:[{id:"item",Item:{id:"minecraft:stone",Count:1b}}]}
or
/summon end_crystal ~ ~1 ~ {Passengers:[{id:"pig"}]}
When moving out of render distance of the item or pig, while remaining within rendering distance of the ender crystal, the output log will periodically spam the "Received unknown passenger" error.
No errors occur when the host and passengers are swapped. I could also not reproduce it by having an item riding a pig. I'm unsure of the render distances for other entities.

@unknown Could you please provide the summon command you used?
I tested
/summon EnderCrystal ~ ~1 ~ {Passengers:[{id:"Chicken",NoAI:1}]}
with no issues.

Meri Diana - No command used, this was a natural spawn.

Ooooooh weird Γ.ΓΆ
Thanks for the info!
@ mods: Should this ticket be reopened then or is it a different kind of problem of another already-existing bugpost?
Not sure if someone of you reads this, going to make a post in the Mojira-Reddit and ask for help }=)

@unknown I tried to reproduce it in 16w05b but couldn't.
I tested with chicken spawned by (the food item) chicken eggs as well as chicken spawn eggs, I also bred both, and I also went into a natural world with naturally spawned chicken.
And neither in the baby nor adult form it returned with that unknown passenger message inside the client output, no matter how the chicken was created.
Could you please check with your setup if it still happens, and if so, share how to reproduce it?
Thank you, Meri

Just opened my testworld, and I also did receive that output again, again with EnderCrystals...
That's weird, I tested in a previous snapshot (can't remember which), and it didn't happen with EnderCrystals anymore...
Screenshot attached.
Game output:

@unknown What about a zombie on a chicken? 'Cos in the error an entity doesn't know, what passenger it has.

@unknown Well from how I understood it they were natural spawns, as in regular chicken (not remaining chicken from baby zombies riding them) - but good point, maybe I misunderstood it, I'll just stack them together and test those after I got rid of their rider }=)
Thanks for the suggestion!

I summoned around 10 Babyzombie-Chickenrider with:
/summon Chicken ~ ~1 ~ {Passengers:[{id:"Zombie",IsVillager:0,IsBaby:1}]}
Neither with the zombies nor without them I got any game output with an unknown passenger...
I don't know whether or not it needs to be a natural spawn?
Waiting for @unknown to reply about reproducing that output or if it's fixed now in 16w05b }=)

It was happening to me in standard survival as natural spawns. I will post confirmation if/when it happens again.
EDIT: confirmed. [16:33:08] [Client thread/WARN]: Received unknown passenger for vu['Chicken'/19174, l='MpServer', x=-1572.50, y=7.00, z=-8002.50]
After teleporting to these coordinates (I was in the nether) I found a chicken with an invisible baby pigman riding it (see 2016-02-09_16.33.47.png). When the chicken ran under a low roof, the baby pigman took suffocation damage.
I triggered a manual crash, see crash-2016-02-09_16.35.01-client.txt
Since this was due to an invisible chicken passenger, I'm not sure if this is more appropriate for this issue or the invisible chicken jockey MC-91388. I will post this report there as well, apologies if it doesn't belong here.

@unknown Ah I see, thanks for getting back quickly! - So it's apparently regular rider-chicken after all.
Just wondering why my EnderCrystal problem came back..
Will do some testing the next days.

The baby pigman/zombie on a chicken version of this problem is still an issue in 1.9 pre1

The baby pigman/zombie on a chicken version of this problem seems to have gone away in 1.9 Pre2, possibly related to the NoAI Skeleton fix?

Still problem, as of Minecraft 1.9
Armor stand as the entity.

Which entities are riding the ArmorStand?

Sometimes the converse can happen, so that the entity is unknown, but for passenger, it is generic, simply saying passenger:[Client thread/WARN]: Received passengers for unknown entity

Confirmed for 16w14a.
/summon EnderCrystal ~ ~1 ~ {Passengers:[{id:"Enderman",NoAI:1,Silent:1}]}
I noticed that bug initially due to letting an Enderman riding an EnderCrystal.
This bug is still existing in the current snapshot 16w14a.
After some testing (see attached screenshots) the bug message in the game output occurs dependant on the render distance.
I tested 8 and 16 chunks, both of which triggered said message for the EnderCrystal-Enderman-combination when you got into the 8 or 16 chunks render distance.
Both entities got different render distances.

Please link to this comment in the description
The following is based on decompiled version of Minecraft 1.9 using MCP 9.24 beta. All method and class names are the names used in the decompiled version.
The reason why this happens is because the client receives a net.minecraft.network.play.server.SPacketSetPassengers
packet for an entity that is not loaded client-side ("Received passengers for unknown entity") or the packet contains passengers that are not loaded ("Received unknown passenger for [entity]").
The problem is that the server sends these packets without calling the method net.minecraft.entity.EntityTrackerEntry.func_180233_c(EntityPlayerMP)
first to test if the entity whose passengers should be set are loaded. Additionally this packet creates a list of entities that are passengers without testing if they are loaded. If this behaviour of the packet was changed to only include loaded passengers, the method net.minecraft.entity.EntityTrackerEntry.updatePlayerEntity(EntityPlayerMP)
probably would need to send a passengers packet for the ridden entity (see this comment). This method would also need to test if the ridden entity is loaded before sending packets to the client.
Note: Fixing this bug might fix MC-96954 as well.
Confirm for 1.9.3 pre-2
Can confirm for 1.10.

Can confirm for 1.10 but to also add on Im a very committed survival player that plays all legit which means no commands and such of the sort. I recently received this error in an all legit survival world that I have had for almost a year now. I am going to put the logs below(As you can see I am using optifine but I am quite sure its not the issue):

No, modded clients are not supported here. Your issue looks like it's caused by bad player skulls. Create a new ticket with some more info if this also happens in vanilla, assuming this is a vanilla survival world.
Can confirm for 16w32a.
It seems like the game output in 16w32a is always "[Client thread/WARN]: Received passengers for unknown entity" now, even if it should be an unknown passenger for an Entity.

Is this still an issue in the latest snapshot 16w44a? If so please update the affected versions.

Recently I found that when the console outputs 'Received passengers for unknown entity', the game stutters. It's really annoying and unpleasant when this happens a lot (sometimes it can happen every half minute on average). The game version is 1.13.2.

Can I request ownership of this ticket?
I've made Mr. W aware of this bug back in 2015, and run into this every time I visit some of my bugtestworlds anyway.

Sure, ticket's your now!

20w18a and all of a sudden i've started getting this issue when i get to a certain point in my base at which time it freezes the game until i tp myself away and everything resumes normally. All client console shows is the "Received passengers for unknown entity" as mentioned .... Only way i resolved it was to kill all entities bar players in a 300 radius of my location

I have this error happening A-LOT around my base. No clue why till i read this because I get it during the day, in a mob spawn free area (slabbed and lighted up well past 128 blocks radius). Now I am fairly certain I can pinpoint it.
Boats! I have several boats around my base just chilling in the water. I also like to breed turtles. The stupid turtles end up finding the boats, and getting in them. This also happens with foxes randomly as well deciding to go swimming and getting in the boats. Only passengers in entities I have anywhere around. It appears that if you get the right distance away in the right time frame it causes this. If you are moving to fast, or dont go far enough away from the boats, it doesnt happen.

My game just crashed in 20w22a and the very last item in the log was [main/WARN]: Received passengers for unknown entity
.
@unknown That's likely a different issue.
Is there a crash report in [minecraft/crash-reports/crash-<DATE>-client.txt|https://minecrafthopper.net/help/guides/finding-minecraft-data-folder/]
?
If so, please create a new ticket with your crash report attached.

Can confirm in 1.19.

I got over 540,000 of these warnings over the course of a few hours. Seems to be caused by charged creepers in oak boats?

@unknown In which MCJE version did this occur for you?
Are you in Vanilla?
