Created Issue:
Wither's rib cage is not in the center of its model
relates to
Repost of MC-194120 for bedrock edition
The Wither's rib cage appears to be shifted half a pixel to the left of the center of its model, making it look asymmetrical
Also related to MC-194120
(This issue first appeared in Minecraft 1.4.2 when the wither was added)
All three ribcages (top, middle, and bottom) and the right/left heads of the wither boss cannot be independently retextured from one another, making them always look the same, limiting the player's resource pack creativity.
This affects both the base texture (wither.png) and the invulnerable texture (wither_invulnerable.png).
Steps to Reproduce:
- Download and apply the following resource pack:
Wither.zip
- Spawn, or create a wither boss using blocks
Observed Behavior:
The three ribcages and 2 side heads will look entirely red, despite the player seemingly only modifying one ribcage and one head in the UV map.
Expected Result:
Only one of the ribcages and heads would be altered, since that is what the player intended to change. The current behavior is unexpected and not resource pack friendly.

That's really hard to unsee.
It's actually that the center head is offcenter, the rest of the model is correct.
The heads are lined up perfectly with the center of its hitbox.
