Expected Behavior

I'd expect to see through the player and see the blocks behind (i.e. stained glass)

Actual Behavior

The translucent blocks behind the invisible player will not render

Reproduction Steps

I was playing on The Hive and saw some funky rendering. I later did some testing in SP and found that it's because of the “seeFriendlyInvisibles” team modifier thing

1. Spawn/find an entity that is obstructing a translucent block
2. /team create gamers
3. /team join gamers @e
4. /effect give @e invisibility

I can confirm that this is a vanilla issue and it will make particles, entities, block entities, translucent blocks and beacon beams invisible behind translucent entities, name tags of players who are crouching... there may be more. if sodium fixes this, i will be happy.

Probably caused by #38

Seems like it. Should I close this issue?

You probably should. You may also want to add a comment on that issue either referencing this one or re-explaining this behavior.

This is unrelated to #38 and is a separate issue caused by entities being rendered before the world. This causes their fully transparent fragments to be written to the depth buffer first, meaning that by the time we render the water, the GPU will never write any new fragments because they're behind the "nearest" fragment.

Oh, my bad

Does this happen the same way when you're in spectator mode looking at something invisible?
