Why arent blocks translucent?

[dire bone]

I downloaded the Asset Browser plugin, and imported the honey block model.

However, the outer layer of the honey is not transparent at all. Sometimes when I rotate and view the block at specific angles, the outer layer DOES become transparent slightly, as it should look like in game.

Is there a way to fix it so it always looks normal?

Blockbench: Render Order

If you are using textures with semi-transparent pixels (like a colored glass for example), a transparent element may hide an opaque element behind it. In some cases, the renderer can figure out the render order automatically, in other cases it might need some assistance.

• In Blockbench: Right click the transparent element, click Transparency Render Order > In Front. This will fix the transparency rendering in Blockbench, but it has no result on the exported file.
• In other programs: The render order is typically determined by the transparency property of the material. If possible, create two textures, one for the opaque, and one for the transparent part. Set only the transparent texture to be transparent.
• In Minecraft: Move elements with that texture to the bottom of the element list. Additionally, for Bedrock Edition the render order for groups/bones is based on their name (in alphabetical order). PS: In some cases the aforementioned steps won't change the result ingame.

Slight addition to that: "Transparency render order" is also in the Elements tab of a cube, not (just?) in the rightclick menu
