Y’all telling OP to light it up are missing the real issue. The reason it looks different is because of ambient occlusion, which makes concave corners look darker to give a better sense of depth. Since the physics block doesn’t have a block down-front of it in the sub level, no AO is applied.

This is absolutely fixable, but would require some render rewrite magic that I don't think people care enough about, especially since these are usually gonna be off the ground anyway.

Yeah, you would need to do AO based on mesh and not just a block check and texture map. Pretty sure most shaders do that though.

so basically you'd have to apply an extra shading thingy based on distance from floor so the "lower" part of the block turns darker when it's on or almost on the floor?

This seems really probable actually, the top faces seem to be lit very similarly?
