How do i fix this lighting with my model?

[vivid elk]

I made a model that applies from multiblocks but the shading is really dark and weird.

How do i seem to fix this issue?
I am using [model].json's for this.

If it's a custom model, try turning "shade" off for the cubes in the model.

[vivid elk]

Alright i turned off shade but it works if you have night vision, otherwise it is completely black.

One thing i forgot to note, it uses tinting

If the short grass is an extra model (like your flowers) try disabling ambient occlusion in File > Project... for the short grass model.

I have ambient occlusion off.

FAQ

Java: Block Dark

If your models have black spots try these steps:
Opaque rendered block will have black spots if:

• They are connected to a other block in the same render way
• If elements are outside the 16x16x16 area
  There are some ways to remove the black spots:
• Disable AO (Ambient Occlusion)
• Disable shading
• Moving the black elements or rotate them
• Disable smooth lighting
• Use OptiFine (helps a ton with the crappy shading of mc)
• Centering the origin point to the element (or moving the origin point somewhere else sometimes works too)
• Setting proper cullfaceing
  Sometimes one of these steps helps, sometimes multiple of them help, and sometimes it is unchangeable.
  If nothing works to fix it, then you should use a transparent/translucent rendered block instead, or place it next to a transparent/translucent rendered block.

so moving it up by like 0.05 could help?

Try out things. That problem unfortunately has no "one solution" that works in all cases.
(Block shading is a fickle lady and she hates us all)

Yes, they are

Position 16 + Size 6 = from 16 to 22, which is outside the central 16x16x16 area

So if i want to fix this which approach should i take?

[abstract mica]

if none of those options work then idk what else you can try
as it says in the faq, sometimes none of the options fix the problem
