Pointed dripstone does not produce shadows

The Bug

Pointed dripstone was recently added to Bedrock Edition in the latest beta, and like solid blocks actually produces a shadow around it. This shadow is not present in Java Edition resulting in this parity issue. Bedrock Edition screenshots sourced from a video by wattles

Steps to Reproduce

  • Ensure that you have "Smooth Lighting" enabled in your video settings.

  • Summon a square of white concrete below your feet.

  • Summon some pointed dripstone.

    /fill ~1 ~ ~1 ~1 ~7 ~1 minecraft:pointed_dripstone
  • Look around the base of the pointed dripstone.

  • Take note as to whether or not pointed dripstone produces any shadows.

I do not have access to the Bedrock Edition of the game however, I can confirm that no shadows are produced from dripstones in Java Edition.

I can test this and can confirm.

Can confirm in 21w11a.

It's fixed in Bedrock in the latest beta: [MCPE-115287]

Can confirm in 21w14a.

@unknown I cannot, because it no longer produces shadows in Bedrock.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. Shadows are not produced from pointed dripstone in Java but since they're no longer produced from pointed dripstone in bedrock, this ticket should probably be closed.
