The issue began immediately after updating to Minecraft Bedrock version 1.21.120 and persists after the 1.21.121 hotfix. The problem appears to be a systemic bug with the game’s core rendering engine (RenderDragon) when handling multiple active Marketplace add-ons. My add-ons worked perfectly on this on this world prior to the October 28/29 update.
Before October 28/29, 2025 I was using multiple official Marketplace add-ons on my world without any issues. All texture, UI elements, and overall gameplay were stable and worked correctly. After the 1.21.120 update upon launching a world with these add-ons, the game exhibits severe texture corruption, turning elements of the UI (like the options screen, character creator), my character model, and various world objects pink.
Crashing Behavior: When attempting to “Save and Quit” a world, the game crashes entirely to desktop. It does not return to the main menu.
Troubleshooting: I confirmed that third-party mods from sources like MCPEDL are not the cause, as the bug did not occur when they were installed separately.
The pink textures and crashes only occur when Marketplace add-ons are enabled.
The problem is not limited to a single add-on, but seems to be triggered when a cumulative number of official Marketplace resources are active, pointing to a game engine issue.

Processor:13th Gen Intel Core 19-13900KF
RAM:32.0 GB

Operating System: 64-bit Windows
Summary of the Problem:
The latest updates have broken the game’s ability to handle custom resource packs from the official Marketplace, leading to texture corruption and game crashes on exit. The issue is triggered specifically by official Marketplace content and seems to be a new bug in the core game engine.
