Mangrove leaves are anisotropic (i.e. do not have random rotation) on the top and bottom, as compared to all other leaf types, which have isotropy on the top and bottom. This is seen in the below image:
To make it clearer, here is a video of the same thing but the leaves are waving, helping to highlight the anisotropy:
How to reproduce:
Place down all leaf types in small rows
Observe the random rotation of the leaves on the top or bottom faces
Expected result:
All leaf variants are randomly rotated (isotropic) on the top and bottom faces
Observed result:
Mangrove leaves are anisotropic on the top and bottom faces. All other leaf variants are isotropic.
How to fix:
In blocks.json in the vanilla resource pack, add
"isotropic" : {
"down" : true,
"up" : true
}to mangrove_leaves
While this was marked as confirmed, I believe this is working as intended and not a bug.
Look at the attached image: randomly rotating the top and bottom of mangrove leaves completely messes up the texture next to other mangrove leaves compared to vanilla.
