The Bug
In the latest beta any added entity will have their geometry broken and some/ all of their textures will be either missing or they'll be using the wrong texture. The custom animations won't be played at all
Edit: As of 1.8.0.14 added entities have become invisible and their spawn eggs cannot be found in the creative inventory. Any previously existing spawn egg has turned dark and lost its name. /summon also doesn't work anymore
Edit 2: It seems the problem lies in the documentation itself. It hasn't been updated properly in some essential areas.
Edit 3: Example pack working in 1.8.0.14 (credits to @SolvedDev, @OSprintermax and @Nyanth_player): https://github.com/solvedDev/MysticCraft
Steps to reproduce
Download and apply an add-on that uses added entities
Load the world and summon the entity

You need to know the New Add-On Format is not final and maybe change before the release. I have do some inspection in the lastest 1.8.0.13 Beta assets file, it turns out the Animation, Entity Flags file, also MoLang has been updated. Example before, it was 'Entity.Flags.BABY', now it is 'query.is_baby'. Also, i don't know what actually is the major problem loading models from custom entities.
If they did only change how animations are handled they should have warned Jay so that he would include it in the changelog
They have never tell it in the changelog, or maybe they didn't have the chance to tell all of the users, i don't know, but its the users concern. They need to update all of their packs, i have an addon too, but in the 1.8.0.13 beta, thier models were not displayed and the animation doesn't play correctly. I am working to update all of my old format of animations to the 1.8.0.13 ones.
Okay. I confirmed that only custom models won't render or displayed properly. Thank you for posting this issue.
This thread already related or dupiculated by MCPE-38750.
As an example of what I said, check the latest addon made by @SolvedDev on twitter. Not only do the eggs show up, but the entities are also mostly functional (not fully functional yet because the addon is still in the early stages)
Given my post was marked as a dupe of this, I should also say numerous packs can't even load their entities. Attempting to run /summon never brings up any of the entity names, only vanilla ones.
Project Biome 0 Is an example of this issue
Just to confirm, were the added entities working ok in the previous beta 1.8.0.11?
