Rendering Items as Partially Transparent in BlockEntityRenderer

[Growling_Grizzly]

I am trying to make some animations for my mod, and one of the steps is rolling out a ball of dough for a pizza. I want to have the rolled out dough slowly fade in, but trying to use RenderSystem#setShaderColor to set the alpha channel does not work how I would expect it to

Spoiler

Trying to set the shader for rendering just the rolled dough (in BlockEntityRenderer#render) 

// dough ball
pPoseStack.pushPose();
itemRenderer.renderStatic(item, ItemDisplayContext.GROUND, getLightLevel(pBlockEntity.getLevel(), pBlockEntity.getBlockPos()), OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY, ball.getPizzaBoardPoseStack(pBlockEntity, pPoseStack), pBufferSource, pBlockEntity.getLevel(), 1);
pPoseStack.popPose();

// rolled dough
pPoseStack.pushPose();
RenderSystem.setShaderColor(1f, 1f, 1f, 0.5f);
itemRenderer.renderStatic(FoodPart.PIZZA_ROLLED.createItem(), ItemDisplayContext.GROUND, getLightLevel(pBlockEntity.getLevel(), pBlockEntity.getBlockPos()), OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY, PizzaBase.getPizzaCounterPoseStack(pBlockEntity, pPoseStack), pBufferSource, pBlockEntity.getLevel(), 1);
RenderSystem.setShaderColor(1f, 1f, 1f, 1f);
pPoseStack.popPose();

Spoiler

Not resetting the shader causes all items to render with transparency on every block

// dough ball
pPoseStack.pushPose();
itemRenderer.renderStatic(item, ItemDisplayContext.GROUND, getLightLevel(pBlockEntity.getLevel(), pBlockEntity.getBlockPos()), OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY, ball.getPizzaBoardPoseStack(pBlockEntity, pPoseStack), pBufferSource, pBlockEntity.getLevel(), 1);
pPoseStack.popPose();

// rolled dough
pPoseStack.pushPose();
RenderSystem.setShaderColor(1f, 1f, 1f, 0.5f);
itemRenderer.renderStatic(FoodPart.PIZZA_ROLLED.createItem(), ItemDisplayContext.GROUND, getLightLevel(pBlockEntity.getLevel(), pBlockEntity.getBlockPos()), OverlayTexture.NO_OVERLAY, PizzaBase.getPizzaCounterPoseStack(pBlockEntity, pPoseStack), pBufferSource, pBlockEntity.getLevel(), 1);
pPoseStack.popPose();

Is there another way that I am missing to be able to render items on block entities with some transparency?
