Image	Description	Fixed by Fabulous!?	Ticket	Notes
	Distant individual chunks don't order translucent elements correctly according to the player's viewpoint.	No	MC-38022
	Waterlogged stained glass panes occlude some of the faces of the water they're in.	No	MC-131203 MC-167319
	Some blocks such as honey blocks and slime blocks may not fully render inner planes.	No	MC-163098	This can be triggered (and fix itself) in response to player movement and rotation.
	At high distances (see Java Edition distance effects), translucent planes become disordered and render wrongly.	No	MC-186362	Does not appear to affect Sodium.
	The outline when targeting blocks is occluded by translucent items and experience orbs.	No	MC-262088
	Translucent items and experience orbs can occlude each other.	No	MC-166359 MC-249146	This appears to depend on the order in which the entities spawned: older entities take priority over newer entities and render on top.
	Particles, clouds and translucent entities behind one translucent layer and in front of another render behind both.	No	MC-186538
	The outer, translucent beam of a beacon or end gateway render behind certain things it is in front of.	No	MC-262087	This issue is much more obvious when using the resource pack provided in the ticket.
