A considerable number of appearance artifacts occurred as a result of a mistake in the new map chunk system. This led to overlays not being updated, appearances looking wrong, etc.

Sometimes overlays do not get removed properly. This can happen when the game is being hosted locally.

The appearance is updated but sometimes, further updates to the appearance done in the manner described above results in some of the appearances not getting removed from the overlay.
