Block Culling

This section shows how to specify particular faces and/or bones in a geometry file for culling checks.

Note that face culling and bone culling can both exist in the same culling file.

A face or bone culls (is not visible) if the neighbor in the "direction" direction is full and opaque (a full cube, and drawing using the "opaque" render-method in the minecraft:material_instances component).

Note that if a minecraft:transform component rotates the block, the directions rotate as well
