[Suggestion]: Remove directional shading for clouds #19

Description of feature request

Currently, having underside shading for cloud "block"s makes it look too much like blocks and not fluffy enough for clouds which disperse light and wouldn't have that kind of shading.

I think all sides on a cloud "block" should be the same color, instead of the underside of the "block" being dark. Then you could have the "block"s on the bottom and closer to the centre be darker and the ones on the top be lighter, providing a more realistic look for clouds instead of the entire bottom side of the cloud being darker and making the clouds look more 3D.

Here is an image from an old beta 1.7 cloud mod that does these in a perfect way in my opinion (general inspiration from this mod is probably a good idea and you guys might already know about it) where every block has just one color for all sides.

I'm not gonna keep making different suggestion posts for everything in this image that this mod could probably lean towards like random color in the cloud and that blur effect making it look like particles as I'd just be referencing the same image and I'm sure you guys already have things in mind. Directional shading is probably the most important thing that'd make the biggest difference in my opinion.
