Meshes don't use proper alpha blending for textures

Not really sure we’re talking about the same things, transparency sorting is not what needs to be solved here. The problem is specifically how meshparts handle transparency on textures only. Using a specialmesh with a decal lets the texture of the decal show the underlying color of the part wherever the decal texture is transparent. This is the desired behavior for meshparts as well.

I find it hard to believe that the current behavior of texture transparency on meshparts is unsolvable/can’t be changed; it already works using a specialmesh + decal with no noticeable performance loss. If it’s due to some current limitation with meshparts specifically that is understandable, but that’s not the explanation I’m getting.

I see, so it’s not really about mesh transparency, good.
The described behavior, is not a bug, though. Comparing Meshparts with SpecialMeshes is incorrect, because they were never designed to look or behave the same way.

Absence of a feature is not a bug. You might, however, want to post a feature request, so our Dev Relations team can see it.
