Empty Carpet texture pixels no longer Transparent (also true for all blocks)

Carpet no longer renders 'empty' pixels as transparent as was the case in previous versions.

(I know this is a very selective bug, as it takes its texture from wool blocks and thus wouldn't need the transparency in a normal setting, but I actually use carpet with transparency alot in my custom texture packs for very spercific builds 😛)

This effect is also true on all blocks not usually using transparent pixels (probably intended and not a bug), but extends to 'non-solid' blocks using same textures (stairs / halfslabs / carpets / etc 😞 )

Can you provide some screenshots?

Examples of what I mean.
The mid blue colour previously was transparent, leaving what looked like a floating keyboard.

Also judging from the fact I've now realised all blocks not intended to have transparancy now do this, that its not actually a bug. I'm guessing it was done to prevent the "X-ray" vision you can get from some texturepacks?

Hopefully however this could possible be reversed for the blocks it doesn't directly effect? Including carpets, buttons, etc? 🙂

Does the transparency of the wool block return with distance? I think this is related to my own issue, MC-45108.

the blocks seem to remain solid into the distance (render distance set to max)
they are however transparent in the inventory / hand

They definately seem related but causing different effects due to hardware / software perhaps?
I've noticed indeed that all blocks have this effect for me. (i.e. any block that shouldn't be transparent, but is because of my texture pack)

A better way to implement this "anti-xray" would be to only overlay solid blocks, and leave transparent blocks alone.

This will break many many maps...

Confirmed in 1.13.1.

NB : This bug also affects every transparent block with a "full face" like stairs, snow...

NB 2 : If it's intended to work like that, it is very "map breaking"
