What honey blocks look like currently:

The inner cube of the honey block fails to render. Slime blocks also have an inner cube but slime blocks render just fine. I looked in the models.json to compare them and the main difference was the order of their elements. Slime blocks elements have inner cube then outer but honey does outer then inner. I tried manually editing the order of the honey block elements and it fixed it.

So the problem has something to do with rendering order/culling with transparency.
