Weird shadow on faces of custom block model.

I'm working on a mod but for some reason one of my custom blocks that is 2x3 sized has really dark shadows on 2 sides and a strange gradient on the other 2. How do I fix it? Image below:

Hello! I just found a fix for this. Please forgive how late I am.

If you use BlockBench there is a property called "Ambient Occlusion" in the models profile. This is fine for smaller models but for big models like a door or bed it would need to be turned off. So when turning off this setting these shadows disappear.

So in order to solve this issue:
Go to the profile settings of the model.
Untick the box "Ambient Occlusion"
Then re-export and import your model into MCreator!

Sorry for repeating myself I just wanted to make this clear.
