Additional context 📝
Getting killed multiple times fixes the issue, at some point the custom skin comes back 🤷
Thank you for your mod ! And thank you for fixing the npc overlapping in dialogs issue, It is so cool to see how efficient you are 🙏

Thank you for the detailed report. I attempted to reproduce the issue and was able to replicate it, but only with larger mod packs like the latest "BMC4" pack. This also revealed some related issues, such as #385.

Based on your video and description, I have a good understanding of what’s happening. To ensure custom models work as intended, the mod spawns a "dummy" entity for the selected model and swaps it with the NPC model. This process occurs only on the client side, meaning the server has no knowledge of this "dummy" entity.

The issue arises because some client-side "optimization" mods are removing the "dummy" entity when it goes out of the player’s sight. The Easy NPC mod automatically attempts to restore the "dummy" entity after a delay to avoid performance issues caused by constant updates. This is why the entity reappears after a certain time rather than immediately.

I plan to implement an additional check that recreates the "dummy" entity when the player respawns. However, it’s possible that similar issues may occur when the NPC is far away in unloaded chunks and optimization mods decide to remove the "dummy" entity again.

Hi ! Just refreshing the page so it won't get stale

This issue is stale because it has been open 7 days with no activity. Remove stale label or comment or this will be closed in 3 days.

This issue was closed because it has been stalled for 5 days with no activity.

Hi! Still there, maybe this ticket could be opened again since the issue is not fixed yet and it can be a big issue
