Textures appear white/incomplete on mobile

[do0dleme]

The animals appear perfectly fine on desktop clients but on mobile the textures do not load. The mobile players in my server only see them as either white, black or only loading a few parts.

I'm guessing this is a problem with the meshes. As of the most recent updates, textures are still not appearing properly on mobile.

This is related to a conversion issue with Blender. Minetest is lacking of supporting modern 3D model formats. I am using Blockbench to create the models, but Minetest is not supporting this program and its formats, so I have to convert the models to Blender in a complicated way. This results in texture issues, that can only be prevented by using shaders.
There is a way to fix this issue, but it would be too time intense to do for me for every of my hundrets of models: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko_Q7Tt4-mM
I do not only have to do all steps in the video, I would also have to do all animations new. And this for 150+ mobs within all my mods. This would make likely 4 full working weeks when working from 9-5.
Maybe some day other 3d model and animation formats will be supported by Minetest and I can re-design everything: luanti-org/luanti#9673
Until then, you can only ask the Minetest devs to make shaders also possible for mobile like in the desktop version.

I do have the same problem on the desktop, specifically on Ubuntu/Xubuntu running minetest 5.4.1 (system's deb package). The animals appear, but are all just white shapes.

This problem should be fixed on pc version since 5.7.0. But I dont know if it is also fixed on mobile.

I have installed the lastest version on my mobiel phone for testing and animalworld is not available in the content section, likely because of this issue.

May you have installed it manually on your mobile phone? If yes, thats the issue.

You should update your mobile minetest to 5.7.0 and try if it works now.
