Not sure if this should be here or in modder support, as I don't know if it's caused by a bug or if I did something wrong. Either way I would love to know if there is a way to fix it in my mod :)

aka there might be situations where face a is behind face b, yet face a is rendered first, meaning face b is rendered on top.

I suspect that the block renderer looks at which centre of each element is closer, instead of actually calculating which face should be rendered in front. This is merely a suspicion though.

I have attached a block model json and a screenshot for reference. DO NOT USE THIS MODEL IN YOUR OWN MOD.

Side note; I split up some elements in a failed attempt to fix the problem, so the json file is not the exact same as the model in the screenshot. The problem is the same though.

P.S. yes I could remove the faces which are causing the issues and make the wayer opaque, but this is for a deco mod and making the water opaque would in my opinion reduce the visual quality of the block greatly.

Oh I just noticed the little text on the top of the category. Sorry I assumed that bugs included bugs encountered in development and that modder support was just for help, not for bugs. If a moderator sees this and thinks it should indeed be in the other subcategory. please move

This is what happens when you render opaque things with transparency.

 

There's a way to specify dual layer models, but I can't think of the search term to look for at the moment.

Thanks! I found this post https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding-java-edition/minecraft-mods/modification-development/2726011-is-it-possible-to-draw-parts-of-a-json-model-in within a few minutes of searching
