The wings of invisible allays don't render from all angles when viewing them in spectator mode
The Bug:
The wings of invisible allays don't render from all angles when viewing them in spectator mode.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Summon an invisible allay by using the command provided below.
/summon minecraft:allay ~ ~ ~ {NoAI:1b,active_effects:[{duration: 9563,amplifier:0b,id:"minecraft:invisibility",show_particles:1b}]} - Switch to spectator mode and look at the allay's wings from different angles.
- Take note as to whether or not the wings of invisible allays don't render from all angles when viewing them in spectator mode.
Observed Behavior:
The wings of invisible allays don't render from all angles.
Expected Behavior:
The wings of invisible allays would render from all angles.

With the recent triage of the related issues (MC-256566, MC-271227, MC-271231, MC-271229, MC-271236, MC-271237) and the fact that MC-253461 remains open, I would like to request a review of this ticket to ensure it's resolution is representative of the current stance of these kinds of issues (that being, 2D planes not rendering from all angles when the entity is invisible). Despite the fact that this issue could be viewed as less noticable than others in comparison, it is arguably still as valuable to fix. Entities render properly when viewed normally, so faces not rendering due to the player's gamemode, the entity's teams/effects, or the player's positioning is unusual, and is unexpected to the player. Considering this issue was at one point triaged as well, I argue it makes sense to overturn it's resolution and to bring it in line with more recent reports.
The tail will not render when viewed in spectator mode, or when the entity is on the same team as the player.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Spawn a tadpole
- Make it invisible:
/effect give @e minecraft:invisibility infinite
- Change gamemode to spectator
Observed Behavior:
The tail of the tadpole will not be visible when looking at the left-hand side of the entity:
Expected Result:
The tail would be visible at all times, regardless of the entity's effects, or the gamemode the player is in:
Possible Fix:
Add a 'backside' to the texture of the texture of the tadpole's tail. Here is a resource pack which demonstrates this fix (could cause z-fighting):

This behavior is not exclusive to spectator mode, and can be observed when on the same team as the invisible axolotl
I've created a resource pack which fixes this issue of the plane not rendering, but does cause z-fighting likely due to another underlying issue:
