[MC-38147] Custom resource pack: Transparency issue with cloud rendering

I'm working on updating my resource pack, Defscape, to 1.7.2 however I've run into a problem with my cloud texture.

It appears as though Minecraft has changed the way it renders various levels of transparency in the clouds.png texture file.

In 1.6.4, Minecraft was able to correctly read different degrees of opacity, however in 1.7.2 transparency rendering seems to be pretty much completely removed, resulting in sharp, buggy cloud edges.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or intended, but it has hampered my ability to create various transparency levels in the custom clouds.png texture.

To illustrate this, see the attached image.

Left = 1.6.4 and right = 1.7.2+.

If anyone knows a work-around to fix this, that would be great.

Have not confirmed through testing. However I have seen this as well on common texture packs.

They display correctly from above, just not underneath.

Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w02c? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.8.1 Prerelease 3 / Launcher version 1.5.3 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Confirmed on 1.8.1 Prerelease 3.

Is this still an issue in the most recent versions (currently that is 1.10.2, or 16w42a) of Minecraft? If so, please update the affected versions and help us keeping this ticket updated from time to time.
