Why Is the wolf_collar_baby_mers Texture Missing in Bedrock Samples?
Quick Answer: The wolf_collar_baby_mers.tga texture file is referenced in the wolf’s texture_set.json but is missing from the Bedrock Samples repository. This causes missing texture errors when creating custom wolf variants.
Details: The file resource_pack/textures/entity/wolf/wolf_collar_baby.texture_set.json references a wolf_collar_baby_mers.tga texture (Metalness/Emissive/Roughness/Subsurface map) that doesn’t exist in the repository. This is a known omission in the Mojang/bedrock-samples repo (Issue #132).
Workaround: Create a blank/placeholder MERS texture matching the dimensions of the base texture, or copy the adult wolf’s collar MERS texture and rename it. The game expects this file for the baby wolf collar rendering.
Expected Fix: Mojang needs to add the missing MERS texture file to the repository. Track progress at GitHub Issue #132.
