[1.8 emissive texture] emissive texture for items not working in 1.8/1.8.9

[ytty-tyyt]

Description of Issue

emissve textures arent working in 1.8 for items only. i tested it in newer versions there it worked, i tested it in lunar and in normal minecraft and i reinstalled miencraft. same result. the discord said i should go here. this is also for 1.12 i tested it later.

Steps to Reproduce

i am making a glow in the dark texture pack in 1.8, i am using emissive textures to create the glow in the dark effect and use light maps to make it seem dark. but while trying to get all emissive textures in place i wanted to add some emissive textures to items, but it didnt work, i edited a emerald texture so that only the outline was light green and saved it as emerald_e.png in the textures/items but when i go in the game the emissive texture wasnt working, i asked around, also in the discord, they said its a bug after i tested it in 1,18 were it worked and reinstalled the game.

OptiFine Version

1.8/1.8.9

Installation Method

Two questions:

1: Does renaming the mcpatcher folder to optifine fix it 2: When you say normal Minecraft, do you mean standalone OptiFine (like you stated in the installation method)? Vanilla/normal Minecraft does not support emissives.

Renaming the folder to Optifine made emissives work for me however removed my CTM and CIT and custom sky (so everything except emissives) Making a seperate folder named optifine next to mcpatcher and putting emissive.properties in there alone fixed it, and kept my other Optifine textures.
