Despite the fix of MC-230905, sky is still visible when the player is in the void, even though the other issues listed (except for MC-152504) have been resolved. Not sure if this was overlooked so i'm reporting this here.
This causes some visual inconsistencies due to how fog color changes to black when you go below the world limit not matching skybox, and thus making pitch black terrain visible at the horizon, as can be seen in the overworld and the end. Nether fog though, seems to not have this inconsistency.
There's a similar effect achieved on long caves due to MC-118103, however this issue is different from the fact this only affects fog below the world height limit, breaking immersion in a different way if the player falls into the void from a what is supposed to be a dark cave. At some point if you are deep enough you wouldn't be able to see the skybox anyways.
Expected result
Sky would gradually hide from player's vision, when going into the void.
Observed result
Skybox is visible in the void.
How to reproduce
Load a world, set the time to around 12500.
Go below the height limit, /tp ~ -65 ~
Look around and notice how the skybox is visible.

This issue was introduced in 18w07b when this black box was removed.

Previously when you fell into the void a black box would be placed around you and prevent you from seeing the skybox & clouds.

You could easily see the box by going into third person since it was tied to the player entity not the camera.
The ig the fix would be to add it back. But this time remember to tie it to the camera not the player ;P (and remember to make it fully enclosed because it used to be missing the top)
I'm pretty sure this is WAI for the end dimension since you can actually fall into the void in survival.
It would be weird if you suddenly weren't able to see the end sky below Y0
