Hi, like said summary, if I apply the ‘True Realism HD’ (from Pathway Studios) textures pack, in some biomes chicken and pigs are shown bugged (refer to the screenshots attached).
I tried every configuration possible to see if I was able to bypass the bug: i deactivated all the add-ons, activate ‘simply’ graphic, turn every graphic option at the lowest level, but nothing worked.
Of course if I turn-off the texture pack, the animals looks normal in every biome.
First of all: my Switch is original and not modified. The Minecraft bedrock edition I own is licensed. I download and use only packs from the Minecraft Marketplace, and of course, I don’t run any mod on my Minecraft version.
I would report the bug also to the developer but Pathway Studios DOESN’T HAVE a page, a site, a mail, anything to do and manage bug reports, maybe because they simply give their brand to indipendent developers (but I bought the texture pack whit MY real money, so … tbh I leave them a comment on their YT channel, on the offical video of True Realism HD pack, but I don’t guess this is the correct path to report a bug …)
In second place, the bug is active only in determinated biomes, but not in everyone. In certain biomes pigs are shown correctly, same as happens to the chicken.
Moreover, after the last update (my version is 1.21.72, I checked minutes before opening this bug and there is no notification of available updates), I still get a list of errors when I load the game: one Geometry error as soon as i login, and another list of errors (some referred to biome loading) as soon as any saved world is loaded.
I’ve already tried to uninstall and re-install Minecraft: nothing changes.
I also tried to deactivate and remove all the texture packs and the add-ons I bought from the Market Place, to see if the bug could be referred only to those packages, but I always get this list of errors, also if I run the game whit only it’s native textures pack active.
Below I report the list of the errors logged while loading Minecraft and any of the saved worlds:
[Geometry][error]-locator lead already exists whit the same values?
[BiomeRegistry][error]-biomes_client.json: No format_version string found
[BiomeRegistry][error]-Failed to load client biome document: biomes_client.json
[Blocks][warning]-Warning: The blocks.json “format_version” field was not give. “format_version” 1.1.0 will be used.
Sorry for the lenght of the message, but I work as a Quality Assurance Analyst tester, so it’s my job to report bugs and to try to replicate or find a workaround at first glance.
I wait for your response, thank you.
PS - If you are sure that the bug is the sole responsibility of Pathway Studios, I kindly ask you to tell me the correct channel/path to report the bug directly to them.
Regards.

Pathway Studios' email is [email protected], but there is no need to contact them about this. They are already aware of the issue and are working on an update with the new textures and fixes, see https://x.com/PathwayMC/status/1912969914643537945.
In the future, if you don't find any contact information for a Marketplace content creator, then you can report the issue to them in-game. See this article for more information:
