Fix: Filename Typo in cow.v2.render_controllres.json (render_controllers)

Causes confusion when searching for files or comparing with vanilla

Violates consistent naming: all other render controllers use render_controllers

May break custom tooling that expects standard naming

The Fix

Simply rename the file. No content changes needed:

# In your resource pack:
mv resource_pack/render_controllers/cow.v2.render_controllres.json \
   resource_pack/render_controllers/cow.v2.render_controllers.json

Verification

After renaming, verify the render controller identifier inside the file matches:

{
    "format_version": "1.10.0",
    "render_controllers": {
        "controller.render.cow.v2": {
            // ... content unchanged
        }
    }
}

The identifier controller.render.cow.v2 is what the entity JSON references, so the filename change is purely cosmetic for developer experience.

Fix: Filename Typo in cow.v2.render_controllres.json

Quick Answer: The cow render controller file in Bedrock Samples is named cow.v2.render_controllres.json but should be cow.v2.render_controllers.json (missing ‘e’ in ‘controllers’). This typo doesn’t break functionality but causes confusion and violates naming conventions.

Details

GitHub issue #91 identifies a simple but persistent typo in the resource pack render controllers folder:

# Current (incorrect) filename:
resource_pack/render_controllers/cow.v2.render_controllres.json

# Should be:
resource_pack/render_controllers/cow.v2.render_controllers.json

Impact

Does not affect in-game rendering (Bedrock loads by identifier, not filename)
