minecraft:geometry.full_block Geometry Affects Block Rendering

Create a “light block” - here’s an example of the components that may appear (for best results, use a block texture that’s hex color ffffff in order to clearly delineate shadows or ambient occlusion effects. I’ve attached a texture like this [white_light_block.png] and a terrain_texture.json as well)

{
    "format_version": "1.21.111",
    "minecraft:block": {
        "description": {
            "identifier": "test:test_block",
            "menu_category": {
                "category": "construction"
            }
        },
        "components": {
            "minecraft:geometry": "minecraft:geometry.full_block",
            "minecraft:light_dampening": 0,
            "minecraft:light_emission": 15,
            "minecraft:material_instances": {
                "*": {
                    "texture": "white_light_block",
                    "render_method": "opaque",
                    "ambient_occlusion": 0,
                    "face_dimming": false
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

In a world, run command /time set midnight, then place many instances of this block together in the air - not touching any other vanilla blocks or any other types of custom blocks. You will notice that lots of shadows appear in between these blocks. (Image attached).

• To see how these should appear (and do appear while not using this geometry), please see this bug report - there is still an issue with other blocks interacting, but the light blocks themselves don’t have the same rendering issue as they do when using the minecraft:geometry.full_block geometry.
