The bug
After particles were split into separate files, they no longer support translucency.
Attached screenshots show the difference between 1.13/pre-19w06a and 19w06a for bubble particles as an example.
How to reproduce
Install the attached test pack. It has the bubble texture in it. The texture itself is translucent, but renders as transparent in the game (only 0 and 100% alpha).

Still in 1.14.1 Release
Still in 1.14.2 Pre-Release 1 and 1.14.2 Pre-Release 2
Still in 1.14.4. Please fix.
Please fix this issue. It is not something like a critical bug but it definitely will help resource pack creators. Being able to add translucent particles would be great. At least for particles. This support for translucent particles already existed before 1.14+ release. Please bring it back.
Can someone test this issue in the next snapshot since MC-145821 is getting fixed?
In 1.18.1 and 22w03a.
In 1.18.2 and 22w19a.
Can I become the owner of this ticket? Reporter hasn't been active for one year, and I've reported many very similar tickets, so this would make updating this ticket much easier.
Connor steppie When it comes to confirmed reports like these, there is no need to request ownership as the report has been confirmed and is currently being reviewed by mojang, so it's not necessary to request ownership. You can request ownership if the report isn't confirmed and the reporter is inactive.
Only Mojang employees, moderation team members and reporter can add affected versions, and an issue may be closed if it was inactive for too long.
Apparently a specific shader for translucent particles was added in this version? Particles with translucent textures are still rendered opaque nonetheless.
Confirmed in 1.14 Release
