Steps to Reproduce:
Launch Minecraft Bedrock Edition on mobile (Android or iOS).
Create a new world and enter 1st-person view using the default skin. Confirm normal rendering.
Apply a custom skin or Marketplace/Anniversary skin.
Enter 1st-person view in the world.
Observed Behavior:
•Shield is invisible in 1st-person view.
•Bow and crossbow appear higher than the character’s hand.
•Once triggered, changing skins does not fix the issue; the bug persists.
Expected Behavior:
•Hands and items (shield, bow, crossbow) should render correctly for all skins in 1st-person view.
•Default and custom/Marketplace skins should not misalign items.
Additional Notes:
•Likely caused by local render cache or skin layer processing.
•Issue occurs only on mobile; same device with a different account may not reproduce.
•Reinstalling the app and using the default skin temporarily restores normal behavior.
