Pointed dripstone does not produce shadows

The Bug

Pointed dripstone was recently added to Bedrock Edition in the latest beta, and like solid blocks actually produces a shadow around it. This shadow is not present in Java Edition resulting in this parity issue. Bedrock Edition screenshots sourced from a video by wattles
