The fix is very complicated, because block and item display entities do not exist in Bedrock. So we have to recreate them from scratch basically. Also, quaternions suck and I do not want to start messing with converting quaternions to vectors which is what we will have to do.

I'm not aware of anyone who is working on a fix, or has a desire to work on a fix.

A lot of things would need to come first for us to properly address this. We'd need to first get entity properties working which we don't really deal with at the moment. We'd also need to add to geyser optional pack some way of taking rotation/translation/scale values and interpolating between those two states over a given time period as java does. And we'd need to implement a whole new entity and figure out the base translations for items/blocks in hand. So yeah while our goal is to do all this eventually it will take time and like all geyser features there is no ETA.

Well.. Bedrock players just won't see Item and Block display entities, that's all

any update?

[onebeastchris]

Yes, only one; you won't get the spam about unknown entities. That's been moved to debug level.

As for actual support on display/item entities, we do not have an eta - Bedrock edition does not have them natively, so we would have to hack around that. That takes time to implement.

We'll close this issue when that's done, for now, you won't see those entities on Bedrock edition.
