 Your custom block should now be transparent!
+==== Custom VoxelShape ====
+When making custom blocks which do not entirely fill the block, the adjacent blocks might hide their faces. In this case of a custom vertical slab it would look like this:
+{{:tutorial:voxelshape_wrong.png?200|}}
+We have to define the VoxelShape of the new block into one which is not an entire block:
+<code>
+@Override
+ public VoxelShape getOutlineShape(BlockState state, BlockView view, BlockPos pos, EntityContext ctx) {
+     return VoxelShapes.cuboid(0f, 0f, 0f, 1f, 1.0f, 0.5f);
+ }
+</code>
+By doing so we also define getCollisionShape, because by default it returns the result of OutlineShape.

 [[tutorial:blockstate|Adding simple state to a block, like ints and booleans]].
 [[tutorial:blockentity|Giving blocks a block entity so they can have advanced state like inventories and classes]]. Also needed for many things like GUI and custom block rendering.
