Lever handle is shaded

The bug

The handle of levers is shaded and appears darker than the texture would imply. This effect was first introduced in 14w10a, and was noted in MC-50274 (said ticket listed two things, but was only marked as a duplicate of one of them). From Alpha v1.0.1 to 14w08a, the lever handle did not have this shading.

I am not sure if the current lever appearance is now considered the intended appearance.

How to fix

This can be easily fixed by adding

"shade": false"

to the handle element in models/block/lever.json and models/block/lever_on.json. Fixed model files are attached which build upon the fixes for MC-262631 and MC-262864. This fix should therefore be no more difficult than dragging and dropping these files into the block model directory and replacing the existing ones.
