Textureless Entities Problem

[Dumpling00]

Hello there, loving the mod!
I've been having a few issues with certain, very specific mobs (and this is 100% NOT FieldGuide's fault, but wanted to pick your brain on it and possibly find a way to fix this)

When scanning one of the Mythic Mounts mobs, for example, this happens

It's not a terrible deal since I can fix it by using the Exposure plugin and replace the entry with a pitcure, but it does break immersion and I'd like to understand how to fix this at the source. Tried looking at the Mod's assets/textures for the entities but i'm drawing a blank.

Any idea how this could be tackled?

Other entities that don't seem to work are from the mod Clutter: the Chameleon shows up as black, while Crimson Newt and Warped Newt draw a blank image.

That is extremely odd... I can take a look at this at some point, I assume the entity looks fine in-game? Are you on 1.20 or 1.21?

If it's a dire concern, there's always the option to replace the render using a resource pack, but that's a little bit more involved

This is on 1.20.1, Fabric!

I've had a play around with it and, judging by the entry from this mob, the Ghoul, from the Graveyard mod...

It almost feels like the entry is registered on frame 0 / frame 1 of the Entity's internal spawn animation sequence, which somehow makes me believe there is a very small interval on certain mobs where they haven't been coded with a default skin (In the case of MythicMounts, each mount has a different skin variety) and they are just assigned one on like Frame 2 or 3 or in some other way that FieldGuid doesn't/can't account for.

This would also explain the Chameleon from Clutter (it is assigned a different color/texture/tint based on the block they are on)
And the Newts, which for some reason just show up as blank as if the first few frames of their spawning animation are blank.

Thoughts?

Oh that's interesting, I get the feeling you might be right, Field Guide generally sets the frametime of the renders to 0. Maybe I should try tweaking this

[evanbones]

Unfortunately that didn't fix it, I'm certain Mythic Mounts is doing something odd with their GeckoLib texture paths since Field Guide is throwing an error in the logs, but I can't easily check since the mod is closed source...

As for Clutter, it seems like the newts and manta rays default to size 0 for some reason unless explicitly changed, I supposed I could create a Clutter compat class

Ouch - how can the mythic mounts be fixed then?

If it helps, mythic mounts has its own mob journal where the textures are displayed correctly - maybe targeting what the book is doing could help?
