No.

Is this still an issue in the latest version?
Do you use any texture or resource packs that can cause this behavior?
What specs does your PC have?

These screenshots are from a world on my Windows Bedrock Edition. The black textures have been an issue for my villagers for some time but only the biome textures. Base villager textures (as viewed using resource packs when you make the biome skin texture invisible) and profession/level textures are working fine so I can single out the biome textures as the culprit. I can also rule out the resource packs as this glitch occurs even when I have no resource packs active in the world except the obligatory Global Resources. Sometimes the biome texture will load for a single villager but may glitch to black after the villager gets a profession. I have also seen examples of biome textures righting themselves temporarily after reloading the world but being gone again on the next load. I have reinstalled Minecraft Bedrock for Windows numerous times and it has not fixed the issue.

This may be specific to certain hardware, so it would be helpful if you could specify your PC specs.

Zekael7 2024-01-30T10:30:52Z

Here are my system specs. Do you see anything in this that would lead to the problem?

The following screenshots are from a brand new world with no resource packs enabled and taken in the same village. One villager shows a normal biome texture and the other shows the black texture glitch but only where the biome texture would be.

I've done some experimenting and learned something. When a villager is unemployed their biome texture seems fine but as soon as they get a profession their biome texture turns black. I suspected a texture stacking glitch so I tried giving a villager a job as a butcher and then turning the profession texture invisible on a resource pack. The results were... interesting.

This photo was taken on 1-17-25. Superflat world with no resource packs and global resource packe disabled. As vanilla as it gets. The issue appears to persist.

I attempted an additional test and confirmed all textures work normally in Java Edition. So now I can narrow down the problem to Windows Bedrock Edition and just the biome textures.
