WS body unloads upon death.
This is not shader related and happens without optifine (the only thing in the mods folder is WS mod).
Forge is 44.1.23
Minecraft versions is 1.19.3
This happens with the most recent update, 3.2.1, but also happens with 3.2 (not sure about any previous versions but I do remember playing this mod a while before I played it again and saw this issue).
This only happens with the real death, not the fake one.
Screenshot from latest version:

Glad that worked! I'll have to add that to the known incompatibilities then

Any resource packs?

Any resource packs?

cannot remember if i had any at the time, i'll go quickly check without resource packs

Any resource packs?

this reminded me about the mod resources file, and noticed that it was below the vanilla resource pack
putting mod resources above vanilla fixes the issue
didn't expect this to be so simply fixed lol

#939 this issue is known and has already been reported

or not idk

or not idk

There was a separate issue that Crackers fixed about the WS body unloading with shaders
He told me to make a separate issue for this, which occurs without shaders or any optifine

it is known that this happens without shaders either way so technically a duplicate but i dont think they made a sperate issue for it so idk honestly

I don't think there are any issues specifically about this issue happening only on the death animation AND with no involvement with other mods like Optifine either
separating this from the already fixed issue is also less confusing

What's your mod list?

What's your mod list?

empty right now but when i was testing this there was nothing in there except for CWSM
