OptiFine applies the PBR from the base texture (e.g. iron_golem_n.png) to animated entity textures as well. With Animatica however, in order to animate the entity texture it seems to completely disable PBR for the entity.

This becomes apparent in the Patrix resource packs, specifically for the Iron Golem and Warden. In the example below, I have made the iron golem texture completely white as to make the normal and specular maps clearer.

This issue also affects MoreMcmeta MoreMcmeta/core#97

Here is a minimum reproducible example of the issue:
Patrix_1.21_32x_basic_MRE_iron_golem.zip

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install Animatica and Iris
2. Install any shader pack that supports LabPBR
3. Install Patrix (or above MRE)
4. Look at an Iron Golem

Below is a comparison using Complementary Shaders on all default settings apart from enabling labPBR in the shader settings:

OptiFine:

Animatica & Iris (& EMF & ETF but occurs without these)

Which Minecraft versions does this bug affect?
Checked in 1.21 & 1.21.1, likely affects all versions.

Resource pack

I will also note, animated PBR would be a very cool alternative exclusive (exclusive afaik) if it's feasible
