[MCPE-186348] Custom armor and food items do not render properly

It appears that a recent update of the game has completely broken how all (implemented with API scripts) icons of custom armor pieces and food items render, as they do not appear at all under any circumstance. The model of the armor appears just fine when equipped; however, in some instances a few textures of the models get affected as well, since they get removed from the game altogether as showcased down below:

⚠️ Additionally; it seems that if an icon texture with any resolution greater than 16 x 16 is applied to any armor piece, that texture somehow affects how the actual model of the armor is rendered for some reason, as it shows as an item held in your offhand when equipped in any armor slot..? No idea what could be causing this since those two things normally shouldn't be related at all, but this issue disappears as soon as the texture is equal or lower to 16 x 16. ⚠️

I'm also pretty certain this is not a matter that regards my coding, since this bug seemingly disappears as soon as you open a world with those items in the mobile edition- which leads me to believe a recent update on the Windows Edition of the game is what causes this visual mistake to happen in the first place. However; out of all the bugs listed, the one regarding texture resolutions is the only one that persists between every edition of the game. This issue has been present since 1.21.22, and still is even after the 1.21.23 hotfix.

Please attach an add-on that can be used to reproduce this.

Sure thing; I'm just gonna update this ticket to a private state if you don't mind, i don't want people downloading my personal content since i'm the creator of the add-on.

The report DOES contain private information that i do not wish for others to get their hands on tho. It has my private packs that i don't want to share around; on top of that, i had made a bug report previously with my username in it and so i marked it as private- but apparently a mod still decided to revert the change, so does that rule really count?

If a bug report attachments has any personal info in it, edit those attachments so personal info is hidden.

There is also no point creating a bug report with an add-on that is private. If an add-on is required to reproduce the issue, you'll have to attach it, otherwise don't report the issue.

As an alternative, you can create a minimal setup add-on in which the reported issue can be observed. You are not required to include an add-on that contains content that is not relevant to the bug report.

The fire man 17 2024-09-07T13:17:42Z

I was thinking of doing just that; however, i'm not exactly certain if the outcome of this might change if i decide to replace the assets with dummy ones. There is no additional content, everything showcased in these screenshots is all that the add-on contains and modifying them might defeat the purpose, as some of these issues seem to be connected to specific items, even if they're all coded the same way. I don't really mind as long as it can be of help, i might just edit the files out of the ticket after the issue is resolved.

The fire man 17 2024-09-08T11:31:09Z

In the meanwhile, i'm still waiting for someone to look into the issue.

The fire man 17 2024-09-14T11:21:45Z

It's been a bit more than two weeks and this issue still hasn't been looked on. It is fairly concerning since this may be a major problem for many content creators, and thus I'd personally like to get a response as soon as possible.

[Mod] turbo 2024-09-14T11:26:33Z

Thanks for bringing this up! If it's a major issue for many content creators, it's a bit surprising that no one else has reported it, confirmed the issue, or voted on it yet. Please remember, we're volunteers and fellow Minecraft players just like you, so while we'd love to help, there's no set timeline for when we can test or address specific issues. Thanks for your understanding!

The fire man 17 2024-09-15T12:38:11Z

Of course! Totally reasonable, the only reason i feel the need to bring it up is because sometimes my reports get overshadowed for entire months until i decide to bring attention to the issue. I don't wish to sound like a pushover in any way or form, but at times i feel like it becomes necessary.

As for it being a major issue- while i haven't seen anyone else report it just yet, i personally know a few creators that are facing the exact same bugs i have listed here, and considering the issue is currently being "tracked" by 5 different people, i believe there are a few creators that are facing the same thing. It seemingly hasn't been reported yet due to how obscure the issue seems to be, but i'm certain it'll get addressed eventually.

This appears to be fixed in 1.21.40.21 Preview. Could you confirm if this is also fixed for you?

The fire man 17 2024-10-07T17:37:01Z

Hi! Sorry for the late response, i didn't really have any time to monitor this ticket. Anyways yeah- can confirm that the issue about the textures and icons seems to be fixed in the latest preview, although i wouldn't necessarily say it's resolved since the bug still appears on official releases of the game.. I suppose this error never existed in the preview version to begin with, which wouldn't be far too sketched since this is a bug that occurs on a specific version of the game for a singular device after all.

(Gentle reminder that this bug is only present in the Windows edition of the game.)

The fire man 17 2024-10-15T11:13:12Z

By the way, this is still not fixed even after 1.21.31; if nothing, the recent patch caused even more bugs, of which some i have reported in other tickets.

Hi!

I cannot reproduce this issue, can you confirm it is fixed on base Bedrock version and on Preview?

This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.

The fire man 17 2024-12-26T19:54:29Z

Hi,

Just verified it and no, it hasn't been fixed yet; although i've discovered a single armor item in a more recent add-on of mine that seemingly does not have this issue at all. In the meantime, i'll be looking for any updates

v-baslod 2025-05-23T09:34:55Z

Thank you for your report!

However, this issue has been temporarily closed as Awaiting Response.

Is this still an issue in the latest version? If yes, could you please add it to the affected versions (or mention it if you are not the reporter)?

This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.
