Add a Toggle to Disable/Enable Transparent Sugar Cane, Mobs, and Glass

With the recent updates, sugar cane, mobs, and certain glass blocks can appear partially transparent. While some players enjoy the look, others prefer the original solid appearance for clarity and performance reasons.

I suggest adding a simple toggle in the Video Settings menu to switch between:

  • Default Transparency: The current partially transparent visuals.

  • Classic Solid Look: The traditional opaque textures.

This small option would:

  • Give players more control over their visual experience.

  • Help players on lower-end devices maintain better visibility and performance.

  • Allow servers and map creators to choose the aesthetic that fits their builds.

A single setting like “Transparency Toggle for Sugar Cane, Mobs & Glass” would make Minecraft more customizable for everyone.

Thank you for considering this quality-of-life improvement!

    Everyone I talked to about transparent mobs thinks it's ugly. In addition to this, it causes lag issues for me. Why is it so hard to add a simple toggle to make your playerbase happy, mojang?

    At bare minimum, I would love a toggle because I can’t tell what’s going on with any transparency cases. For example, when villager trading, I like to belly up to them, but it doesn’t make sense that I can see through them when interacting with them.

    This can be disabled in Settings > Accessibility. The options are called "Enable Dithering for Blocks" and "Enable Dithering for Mobs".

    I only just found this now, I was looking in settings visuals for a toggle instead of accessibility. Hope this helps the 20 something people who also cant find the toggle :]
