Once 26.2 releases, beds will no longer be block entities. Hanging signs will still be block entities but they will use block models for rendering instead of the block entity renderer.

Status update — block-entity rendering has landed for some kinds (see renderer/pipelines/block_entity.rs):

• ✅ Shulker boxes — default + all 16 colors (ticked above)
• 🟡 Chests — only the normal chest is wired up; trapped, ender, and copper variants are not yet textured/rendered
• 🟡 Signs — all 12 wood standing/wall signs render, but hanging signs (separate model) are not done yet

Beds, banners, and heads remain unimplemented.
