 Description   

When I was testing the new version of minecraft, I noticed that the left side of the Creeper heads are darker and before the explosion they are white.

You must just find some Creepers and bring them to explode. I think it´s not just on my Computer because I´d test it on my Laptop, too.

I attached some screenshots from the Creeper.

(Sorry for my bad english)

no response for a number of months

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.8.1 Prerelease 3 / Launcher version 1.5.3 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

I somehow didn't experience this issue in 1.7.4 when it was released, for some odd reason.

At the time, I was running Java Version 7 Update 45, and as of 30c, I'm running Java 8 Update 11. I don't know if updating the java fixed the issue or not...

Blah, were you experiencing the issue in a version that is confirmed affected? This is an issue that won't appear on all devices.

Comment by Dlawso the Really Lucky Rabbit [ 24/Jul/14 ]

Appears to be fixed in 30c.

Comment by [Mod] Ezekiel (ezfe) [ 22/Mar/14 ]

Please force a crash by pressing F3 + C for 10 seconds while ingame and attach the crash report here.

I noticed something similar to this with wolves. They had one side being blue or black on one side

Comment by Lars L. [ 10/May/13 ]

still here - snapshot 13w19a .

Comment by Matilda Taube [ 01/May/13 ]

confirmed in 13w17a, especially on my cows.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 27/Jan/13 ]

Screenshot of 13w04a (also showing MC-119)

Comment by Anon Ymus [ 30/Dec/12 ]

I have seen this rarely on 1.4.6. All mobs seem to have this issue.

Comment by Alex de la Cruz [ 10/Dec/12 ]

this happens to me with cows in 12w49a

The title of this issue should be changed to "Mob heads are white..." since it does not only happen with creepers.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 27/Nov/12 ]

Finding this quite seldom too on 1.4.5 , but there is no way to reproduce.

Comment by Anon Ymus [ 23/Nov/12 ]

Very weird. I was able to get this yesterday but not today. I did do a texture pack reload, so that may be the cause for the fix.

Comment by Anon Ymus [ 23/Nov/12 ]

I found this on unmodded 1.4.5. I'll try to attach a crash report soon.

Comment by Mustek [ 22/Nov/12 ]

Unable to reproduce, please confirm for 1.4.5.
If you do have the issue, please post a crash report. (generate it by holding F3+C for 10 seconds)

Comment by Anon Ymus [ 21/Nov/12 ]

I am seeing this too.

Comment by Gravity [ 24/Oct/12 ]

I can confirm this on the 1.4.2 pre-release. Prior to explosion and in an unprovoked state, the right side of the head (when looking forward at the creeper) appears extremely dark, and it turns totally white when in a damaged state.
