The bug
These entities/blocks are not rendered behind translucent parts of some entities (later they will be referred as affected entities)
Translucent blocks (stained glass, slime blocks, ice)
Block entities (chests, signs, mob heads...)
All entities that are loaded after the
affected entity(usually those that were spawned or have entered the chunk after theaffected entity, or are in farther chunks)
Affected entities
Note: in following screenshots all entities are inside one chunk, the order of summoning them (or entering the chunk in case of a player) is
armor_standwithdiamond_helmetaffected entityarmor_standwithgolden_helmet
Only armor_stand with golden_helmet behind affected entity shows the issue.

don't think I'm understanding the issue. Glass has always done this (as far as I can tell)... people complained cause the new glass didnt work like regular glass and now that it does there's a bug? seems kinda counter productive.
though this probably has more to do with the fact that blocks behind blocks don't render until the block infront of them is broken as this was a memory issue fix mojang did a while back (1.2 or 1.3)

Th3F4114n0n3: I think this is an oversight with the fix for MC-1379 - this wasn't an issue before, because item drops didn't use alpha blending until 13w42b.

Still an issue in 1.7.5 and 14w08a with fast graphics

This bug also affects Chests, signs, and Mob Heads. All of which are block rendered as entities.
(my issue for that was marked as a duplicate of this)

Confirmed for 14w25b.

This is probably never going to be fixed. Order-independent transparency is the proverbial white whale of real-time rendering, and short of forcing everyone to use OpenGL 4, it's literally not possible to fix.

@Ryan Holtz, So it appears that the appropriate resolution is going to be a "Won't Fix"?

Is it the compositing or the ordering that's the problem? Even compositing in whatever order the geometry arrives in would be less disorienting than the current way, which makes it look like the closest translucent object is cutting a hole through the others.
