Cocoa is shaded differently on each side

      This ticket concerns an unannounced model change from 1.8; as said change is unannounced I've reported it as it may not be intended. I personally prefer the result of this change and would like to see this ticket resolved as Works as Intended, however such a decision is ultimately up to Mojang. More information below.

      The bug

      When cocoa was converted over from hardcoded rendering to block models in 14w07a, they retained their "fully lit" appearance. However, further changes in 14w10a resulted in changes to this aspect, as they gained directional shading.

      Since Bedrock Edition has yet to convert blocks over to models, this technically also constitutes a parity issue (although the change in question happened considerably earlier than the 1.15/1.14 deadline).

      How to reproduce

      1. Place cocoa
      2. Pay close attention to the main fruiting body, and note how it appears darker or lighter on different sides
      3. Repeat this test in 14w08a or earlier
      4. Note how it appears equally lit from all sides in these versions

      Expected results

      The equally lit body would remain so in current versions.

      Actual results

      It appears shaded differently on each side in modern versions.

      How to fix

      If this is determined to be a bug, it can be fixed by simply adding a "shade: false" line to the main element in the cocoa models. A resource pack is attached to the issue which does this, with a comparison as follows:
