So I think I might be going crazy but:

The egg and totem are both "touching" the plane at the bottom
They both have their pivot set to "bottom center"
They have the same material and every sprite renderer setting (as you can see in the image)

I'm on unity 6.3.8f1 , using URP with forward renderer.

I'm guesssing this is a transparency issue, because if I set the sprites to use an opaque material it fixes the issu, but I want to know how to properly handle this scenario with default materials.

So why is the egg rendering on top of the totem even though it's behind it?
If I move the egg a fraction of a unit up in the Y axis it goes behind the totem, but then if I bring it forward it ALWAYS shows behind it, so it basically just inverts the issue.

Any thoughts?

Check that Transparency sort mode set to the one you expect. https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.4/Documentation/Manual/urp/2DRendererData-overview.html

but isn't that for 2D renderer?
I'm using 3D forward renderer

You are using Sprite Renderers

yhea, I found a fix, it is the sorting axis, but there was no option anywhere to change it

Not sure how they would behave outside of 2D renderer

so I opened the GraphicsSettings in notepad

#

and changed it there to Z axis

#

and it worked

If you want 3d rendering you should put a texture on a plane.
