The internal texture faces are not visible even when the outer blocks are transparent.

There is also a flicker that occurs between transparent texture, air, and transparent texture, where the second transparent texture sometimes turn on and off.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the transparent-texture case shown in the linked image, including blocks behind transparent blocks and the transparent texture/air/transparent texture sequence. Trace the voxel engine's texture visibility and rendering behavior, then verify that internal faces appear consistently without flickering.
