New rabbit textures were not given a separate "rabbit_v2" folder, breaking all existing resource packs

Whenever an entity receives a new model in Bedrock Edition, its new texture is named differently than the old texture. This prevents resource packs with textures for the old entity interfering with the new model, which was not designed for the old texture mapping.

This renaming separation step was missed for new Rabbit textures, which are in the same folder as the original textures and directly replace them with the new model.

New rabbit textures should be placed in a separate rabbit_v2 folder. This is the same notation used for the saddle, bat, pig, chicken, cow, and magma cube.

To Reproduce

1. Download the Minecraft Classic Texture Pack from the Marketplace.

2. Create a new world.

3. Enable the Drop 1 of 2026 experiment.

4. Apply the Minecraft Classic Texture Pack as a world resource pack.

5. Enter the world.

6. Spawn multiple Rabbits.

7. Observe that some rabbits are invisible, some have detached noses, and all are much larger than intended. (See rabbit_v2_issue.png)

Expected Result

New rabbit textures are placed in a “rabbit_v2” folder, matching other redesigns for the saddle, bat, pig, chicken, cow, and magma cube. This will prevent existing resource packs from affecting remodeled rabbits.

Observed Result

New rabbit textures overwrite the original textures directly, causing model conflicts with resource packs.

Notes

This was an issue in the past with the updated magma cube and saddle textures. Please keep texture versioning in mind when remodeling entities.
