(Parity) Shadows

Shadows are different between editions. I don't have a strong opinion on which type is better, just that they be made the same.

Java:
When standing on a ledge, shadows snap to the lower block.
Shadows decrease in opacity with increased height.


Shadows are only cast on blocks.


Shadows are antialiased perfect circles.


Bedrock:

When standing on a ledge, shadows slope down the side of the block face.
Shadows decrease in radius with increased height.


Shadows can be cast on entities as well as blocks.


Shadows are 13-sided polygons.

    I like the way the shadows in Bedrock can effect mobs. Though If Bedrock shadows were ported to Java I'd want an option to change the number of edges on the polygon.
