Add-on assets disappearing in split screen

After the 1.21.130 update, all addon assets in any worlds turn invisible while split player co-op is active. This issue occurs on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. The assets only return after closing the game and relaunching it as single player. Adding the split screen co-op reinitializes the issue. This has been appearing on several posts on social media as a widespread issue. I've attached another player's video of the bug from Reddit.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Using a world with addon assets, such as blocks placed or items in inventory, add a split screen co-op player.

Expected result:

World is normal.

Actual result:

All addon assets become invisible.

Had the same problem myself, makes it impossible to play with my partner

How is there no fix yet? This is a game breaking bug for addons we paid extra. If this is going to continue to be unplayable Mojang needs to refund us!

I still don’t have a fix! 4 days (irritating).

I have the same problem. Mine and my daughters world is heavy on adddons and as soon as we go splitscreen it's like 80% of the stiluff goes invisible

Did a bit of testing this morning trying to find a workaround. No luck, but did get a bit of clarity on what might be happening.

If entering the world solo with graphics set to “vibrant visuals”, when the second player joins (split screen local co-op) the graphics is forced to downgrade from “vibrant visuals” to “fancy” and the add-on item/block textures are immediately invisible for both players.

We set graphics to “fancy” from main menu before entering world solo so the second player joining isn’t forcing a graphics downgrade -  thought we’d found a fix here as the item/block textures were visible, but discovered this was only for player one. Also, when the second player approached/looked at an add-on item/block it became no longer visible to player one.

So it seems like setting the graphics to “fancy” avoids an earlier sort of sync between players, allowing player one to keep the already-loaded textures while player two fails to load them, but when player two approaches or looks at these add-on textures there’s a re-evaluation or sync for both players from the second players incomplete version of things causing the block to disappear for player one.

This bug is annoying! Please fix

Many ppl are impacted, could you pls fix asap? Its paid stuff, but not working. Sadly.

Hi - everyone check your consoles!

We are currently playing and testing in and out of split screen on Xbox after the update just now with no issues.

Hey everybody, if this works on PlayStation please let me know. I'm at work and won't be off for a couple of hours and would love to play with my wife again.
