[1.18] [SOLVED] Custom block with transparent parts makes block behind invisible

[Brainterminator]

Hey, I'm fairly new to the modding community and I'm coding a Mod that includes Vertical Slabs for 1.18.

Coding the Slabs I pretty much took the way Stairs are made and just removed the bottom extended part.

I wanted to take the Original Minecraft textures and after hours of getting the ColorMaps and Tinting to work I realized, that Blocks behind the full Block Side are not rendered. I read something about "culling" but I didn't quite understand.

It looks like this:

 

 

I suspect that the problem is not in my .json Files but in my custom class "ConnectableWallBlock" because it doesn't really matter, even if I take the original oak leaves json it doesn't work. I also tried taking the getVisualShape (like in the AbstractGlassBlock class) and making it return shapes.empty but that didn't work either.

I have .noOcclusion() in my Constructor Chain and in my ClientSetup I also call RenderType cutout.
At the moment I have no clue what else I could try to make it work.

I hope you guys have some ideas!

Thank you so much!

I suggest you create a new ConnectableWallBlock that extends LeavesBlock, setting the PERSISTENT state property to true (because I imagine your walls don't need to decay). This way most of the leaf property you would expect from a block made of leaves should be already included and you also take advantage of Minecraft automatically setting the render layer to cutoutMipped or solid depending on the user graphic settings.

Maybe won't solve your problem but it's sure a step forward.

That actually fixed it! Now my LeafWalls have correct transparency! And the fact that they also adapt according to the graphics settings is also nice!
Thanks so much!
