What happened?

Problem with balloon rendering. As you can see in the video, the balloon is really only displayed for a very short distance (a couple of blocks).

This happens when I have a server view-distance of 5 and a simulation distance of 4-6.

It's so weird, since modelengine shows the other models from mythicmobs etc correctly as it does in the video, only the balloons don't. Due to this, the modelengine may be lagging probably because it's somehow working badly with their API and it's throwing "invisible" errores and only Spark is catching it. But that may just be my guess.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Add CosmeticsCore and MEG 4
2. Set view-distance to 5 and simulation-distance to 4
3. Log on and equipt any type MEG balloon

This probably has to do with MEG api itself.
Anyway please provide your report URL and the MEG version.

and I'd rather send you a spark report privately.

@PanHaskins
This is my code, anyway I think it's an issue of MEG not my plugin.

        ModelBlueprint blueprint = ModelEngineAPI.getBlueprint(customEntityKey);
        megModel = ModelEngineAPI.createActiveModel(blueprint);

        fakeMegEntity = new Dummy();
        fakeMegEntity.setLocation(loc);
        megEntity = ModelEngineAPI.createModeledEntity(fakeMegEntity);

        if (megEntity == null)
        {
            Msg.error("Failed to spawn custom entity '" + customEntityKey + "'! megEntity is null.");
            return;
        }

        megEntity.addModel(megModel, false);
        megEntity.setBaseEntityVisible(false);
        fakeMegEntity.setRenderRadius(loc.getWorld().getViewDistance());
