Title, block entities are not producing any form of shadow, but only with sodium from the looks of things

Sodium has some special code to handle block entity rendering: https://github.com/IrisShaders/sodium-fabric/blob/c3086f48c536318a46f416b4b0f706e8faa7f90f/src/main/java/me/jellysquid/mods/sodium/client/render/SodiumWorldRenderer.java#L270

The big difference is using sodiumWorldRenderer.renderSectionManager.getVisibleBlockEntities() to figure out what block entities are visible instead of using the vanilla chunk visibility lists when Sodium is installed. I'm not sure what the best way to do this is especially since the Sodium fork compiles against Iris instead of having Iris compile against the Sodium fork.
