Additional fixes with no Mojira report

These don't have a Mojira ticket to link, so they're just mentioned briefly here.

Mobs with glowing parts in vanilla Minecraft now glow the same way with Ray Tracing
The Invisibility effect now properly hides the Spider, Cave Spider, Phantom, and Enderman models with Ray Tracing
Candles now have an emissive wick, since they lack a point light like other light sources do (1.21.80+ only)
Tropical fish patterns no longer fail to composite when the fish's base layer is transparent, which was making large parts of their fins invisible
Water in a cauldron no longer uses the wrong texture, which gave it a rough, non-water-like appearance
Jack o'Lanterns now emit light from all sides, matching their vanilla appearance and function more closely
In-world enchanted tridents and firework rockets no longer render completely black
The Creaking's eyes now glow with a unique bloom effect and stay visible even while the Creaking itself is invisible; its black texture issues are also resolved
Iron Golem texture crack rendering issues have been resolved
The Sulfur Cube's rendering issues with Ray Tracing have been resolved
Entities and blocks with invisible or unintentionally rasterized parts - the Snow Golem's head, the Mooshroom's mushrooms, and blocks inside minecarts - are corrected (tracked as Vanilla RTX issue #28)
Every rasterized particle has been adjusted to blend in with the ray-traced world

🟩 Resolved
