Cobwebs do not obey properties set in blocks.json

Partner Rank: 3

Verification builds and Platforms:

Version 1.19.51 build 12894708 Win10 (Current live version of the game) works as intended

Version 1.19.51 build 12957489 Win 10 (dev build of live build) does not work as intended! All versions after up to 1.19.70.20 also experience the bug.

Summary:

Cobwebs do not obey certain properties set in blocks.json within the resource pack. For example, "textures" and "blockshape" fields do not affect the appearance of the cobweb in-game. They seem to affect carried textures only, but not the placed blocks.

Impact:

Cobwebs are often used in custom worlds due to their unique behaviour. Using blockshapes set to "block" would allow map-makers to make cobwebs appear as a full block rather than a cross-texture. There may also be an impact on any LIVE marketplace content that uses cobwebs

Repro Steps:

1. Download the attached resource pack which contains a blocks.json file that should make cobweb cross-texture blocks look like sand blocks.
2. Create a new creative world with the resource pack enabled.
3. Pick cobwebs from the creative inventory and place them in the world.

Observed Results:

Placed cobwebs appear as normal, without the specified blockshape or texture. Only the carried/inventory appearance is affected.

Expected Results:

The placed cobwebs should take on the appearance of sand blocks.

Screenshots/Videos attached: Yes/No

1) observed_result.png shows the bug where blocks.json isn't being used for cobwebs

2) expected_result.png shows cobwebs properly using the blocks.json to apply texture and blockshape. Note that the build shows 1.19.41, this was the latest dev build that didn't have the bug, but the public version of 1.19.51 also does not have the bug.

Regression Builds:

Any build before Version 1.19.51 build 12894708 Win10 (The current live version of the game) works as intended.

Notes:

There is only one version of 1.19.51 on Azure, so there may be earlier dev builds of u5 that work, but that we don't have access to.
