Translucent mob texture

I've seen this asked before and I keep seeing people say vanilla Minecraft doesn't support transparent or translucent textures...
EXCEPT THAT CAN'T BE TRUE BECAUSE SLIMES EXIST, ARE MOBS AND HAVE TRANSLUCENT TEXTURES ON THEM
So what's the deal!?!??

The user is not referring to block models, but entity models.

In order for your custom entity to properly render translucent textures, the model must have specific code that tells the parts to render as translucent. If you use Tabula to make entity models, the 1.12.2 version of the mod actually lets you make specific parts of the model translucent. This worked for me when I was making my mod for 1.12.2, but it's different now. I have recently discovered that the code Tabula generates is slightly outdated and doesn't work with newer versions of the GL renderer that newer Minecraft versions use. I cannot help you with a solution, as I am still looking for one myself, but this is the information I currently have and I hope that it is somewhat helpful.

The way you did it for the 1.12.2 mod, if it is actually possible

I'll have to do a bit of looking around since I've long abandoned the 1.12.2 version of my mod, but I should have the files somewhere
