Allow Resource Pack Makers to Bypass Java Culling

According to the Blockbench FAQ:

"Minecraft hides (culls) the faces between solid blocks to improve performance. To avoid this, remodel a non-solid block. For example: Glass, Pressure Plates, Flowers. Alternatively, display the model by putting it into the head slot of an invisible Armor Stand or inside an invisible Item Frame."

An example of Java culling can be seen here:

I made this very basic 3D model of an enchanting table for my personal resource pack, and noticed I could see through the floor. It was not the first time I have had this problem. I had it when making one of the crafting table as well. The only way to fix this is to put a texture on the bottom, which can look quite odd in most circumstances. I suggest that Minecraft have an option for Resource pack creators to to override the unsightly Java culling.
