Is it possible to create a custom block that is transparent with ModPE script, just like glass from vanilla Minecraft?

Yes.
You need to use an image editor to change the terrain files (in /assets/images...) and replace at least one existing, unused block. Make sure the image editor you use supports transparencies, and make your image transparent wherever you need.

Then use the ModPE script methods below to make define the block:
Block.defineBlock(id, name, texture, materialSourceId, opaque, renderType);
Block.setRenderLayer(id, 1);

* Render layer "1" is for transparent blocks.

Thanks! I knew how the texture part worked, but not the setRenderLayer

It kinda works, it's transparent now, but you can see trough the world trough the block. Is there any way to fix this, or did I do something wrong? Picture of the problem: http://imgur.com/RnvtL6J (I just used the glass texture for testing purposes)

This is a bug and I suggest asking @500 Internal Server Error know about it

you cant do translucent blocks!
also ro fix this "bug" in Block.defineBlock(id, name, array, origin, boolean,render type); set tge boolean to false, onlyt set it to true if you are making opaque blocks, also if tou have a transparent block, i suggest using, Block.setLightOpacity(id, 0);

sorry for all my perfect spelly
