[1.8+][Solved] Reasons for inside faces going dark when blocks are adjacent?

A couple of my mods have some blocks that have faces which go very dark when opaque solid blocks like Netherrack are placed adjacent to them.

For example, if I have a cauldron shaped block, and a block is placed one block to the north of it, the north-facing inside face will go dark.

I also have a custom fire block where this only happens to the west-facing side!

What are the reasons that the faces could be going dark like this?

 

Thanks for reading.

    Ambient occlusion probably.

    Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

    I thought that might be a/the reason, but the JSON for vanilla cauldrons and my custom cauldron both have ambientocclusion set to false, yet only the custom cauldron goes dark.

    Well that was the reason but the JSON wasn't the problem. I'd forgotten to overwrite isOpaqueCube and isFullCube, and make both return false. Thanks!
