Blocks being rendered like they are completely solid (1.15.1)

[Jipthechip]

My custom blocks are rendering like they are completely solid, how do I change this? (image link below because uploading it as an attachment and "Insert Image from URL" failed)

EDIT: I also noticed that the bounding boxes fill the entire block. How do I define these? Is a VoxelShape required for this?

I believe you do this via Block.Properties::notSolid or something similar.

I tried changing the isSolid and blocksMovement properties of the Material to false, but that didn't work. Is that what you're talking about?

Yes the VoxelShape methods are what you use for this.

I just checked in my version it is.

The blue patch is caused by incorrect VoxelShape (default is full cube), if you set that correctly the problem will be be fixed

Ah sorry, at first I misread what you said. Calling notSolid() on the Properties of the Block fixed the transparent face under the block, but the collision boxes and shadow rendering are still the same.

I didn't use a VoxelShape at all, just a blockmodel json. The only methods that use it (getShape(), getCollisionShape(), etc.) are all deprecated in my version, probably because all the same things are handled by the block model json and the block state. Are there any special things that VoxelShapes can do that block states and block models can't?

Hi

This link might help with some background information on VoxelShapes and why you might need them.

Block model only gives what the blocks looks like, you will need to create shapes yourself.

You can still use the deprecated methods, you can see people discuss with them in lots of past posts, check this: 

And through voxelshapes you can use them to declare the bounding box of the block, and the box showed to player when player is looking at it also.
