There is this continuous problem with bows, shields and crossbows being invisible in singleplayer and multiplayer, in all dimensions. It happened after 1.16.200 came out. When my friends were playing, their bows didn't seem invisible on their devices, but they were invisible on mine.
(Note that I also disabled all texture packs and shaders downloaded on the device.)
I'm not sure if this has something to do with the texture packs and shaders I downloaded from an app called Minecraft Addon, because when I disables ALL of the add-ons and texture packs, it still has the same issue.
I've heard reports that this problem only happens in the nether, but for me it happens everywhere! Please fix this, or please send me a solution to this problem. Aiming with an invisible bow on servers (Hive, specifically) and in single player worlds is a pain to do.
I hope there will be a bug fix that fixes ALL issues with the invisible bow glitch.
Thank you for reading.
