In Android x86_64 build, all entities have no animations

Yes, you can usually download it from the Google Play on an Android emulator because the system is x86-based.

Here's the details for my physical machine

CPU：Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-14650HX 2.20 GHz
RAM：Hynix 16GB DDR5 5600MHz
GPU：NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU

I am also experiencing this issue, same setup, but repeatable on both a steam deck and my desktop computer.
Desktop specs:
CPU: AMD R7 5800X3d
GPU: NVidia RTX 3070

Steamdeck:
LCD version, 256GB Model

I'm also expirencing this problem

@[MCQA] EmA There are multiple Android devices out there, that are affected by this x86_64 arch specific bug.

This is not a bug exclusive to emulator or similar software, but rather a bug that affects all devices that rely on the x86_64 variant of Minecraft for Android.

I play on an x86 device and my game used to work fine. this animation issue is massively detracting from my enjoyment of the game. mojang do better

Footage from the older bug report

26.10 x86_64 on Android. I’m experiencing the same issue. Villagers appear to stand on top of beds while they’re sleeping, and I can’t see when mobs are attacking me! Tridents also float behind mobs (and the player) instead of showing up in the hand.

Thank you for your report!
After consideration, the issue is being closed as Won't Fix.

Please note that this is not the same as Working as Intended, as this bug report correctly describes behavior in the game that might not be the intended or desirable behaviour, but it will not be fixed right now. Sometimes, this is because the issue reported is minor and/or impossible to change without large architectural changes to the code base.

So can you fix it now?

This really need to be fixed

Thanks for reopening, me and so many other people were going to be stuck playing 1.26.0.2.

The problem more specifically is the joint rotations, joints can scale and position just fine but cannot rotate, you can see this by trying emotes that scale or position joints in the character creator.

The problem seems that all animations that rotate any part of the body don’t work and the joint stays locked at it’s position, they can move on the vertical and horizontal axis just fine but they’re locked rotation wise. The issue is present only on the Android x86_64 build, but it’s fixed on the ChromeOS x86_64 build, which both are android builds.

I'm having the same issue with version 1.26.10.4. Mobs, myself, and players all have broken animations; they don't move. It's just a visual glitch, and my architecture is x86_64. Older versions work fine.

This is bugging me so much and I hope it gets fixed soon, I play on Steam Deck because I refuse to use Windows and my tablet is ancient, and this is significantly ruining the experience for me, I paid money for this Mojang please fix it!

If you want to replicate this bug use linux Minecraft bedrock launcher x84

Breaks animations for anyone utilizing Linux based systems (ie steam deck) having to use compatibility layer apps to play Android Bedrock editions (ie mcpelauncher).

Seeing there is no way to officially play Bedrock versions on Linux handhelds like the Steam Deck, This should be a priority fix. That or just release an official Bedrock Version for the deck

Me who uses both regular x86 android and linux launcher…

Can confirm it was fixed in the latest beta

why isnt this in a hotfix or backported? its a major issue after all that affects an entire architecture

This bug (MCPE-237791) is not just about BlueStacks — it affects all major Android emulators (BlueStacks, LDPlayer, MEmu, Nox, etc.). The core issue seems tied to how Minecraft Bedrock’s rendering engine interacts with emulator graphics pipelines.

On every emulator tested, mobs and players freeze in static poses while sliding around. This suggests the animation system is failing to sync with the emulator’s GPU abstraction layer. Switching between OpenGL and DirectX in emulator settings but does not restore animations. Updating drivers or creating new emulator instances also doesn’t solve it.

Because native Android devices don’t show this bug, it looks like a rendering compatibility problem between Bedrock’s x86_64 build and emulator rendering engines. Please update the bug description to reflect that this is a widespread rendering issue across emulators, not just BlueStacks. That clarification will help Mojang track it as an emulator rendering incompatibility rather than a single‑platform glitch.

Still not resolved in the latest version 26.20. Please fix this bug!!

This bug wasn't happening in the older versions before 26.12. It seems to have a problem in these new updates as if changes the code to run animations improperly.
