[MC-268862] Areas with no sky light are incredibly dark when using the "High Contrast" resource pack

Here's a video

What is the issue?

The end becomes near pitch black and borderline unplayable

How to replicate it?

Simply activate the "High Contrast" resource pack or turn on the high contrast feature and enter the end

Extra remarks:

Lighting seems to affect the severity of the darkness
Night vision seems to have no effect
The End Islands are also affected

I can confirm this in 24w09a although it doesn't happen with the GUI hidden.

This also happens in the other dimensions. It doesn't happen under the sky because that's full brightness, but the moment you go in a cave or the nether, it's apparent.

I've updated this title to reflect the core problem here. The issue doesn't just happen in the end dimension; it happens in all areas with low sky light levels.
