The fog causes rollbacks

There seems to be no way to turn the new feature called "fog" off, and it changes the entire feeling of the game, as it makes the entire game gloomy and dreary instead of fun and radiantly colorful. Everything is grayed out! Blacks aren't black anymore, not even on moody setting! And as an extra bonus, it causes loads of miniature lag: Ever since the new update, I've been experiencing tiny, miniature rollbacks. These can be seen when looking at the sun or moon as it moves forward during the day and then jumps back slightly before moving forward again. It does advance a little bit each time, but still, it makes it feel like I'm constantly lagging minutely. Enemies aren't as threatening since they also roll back slightly (which I technically don't mind since they can't kill me anymore), but it's rather bothersome that I sometimes have to mine the same block twice or place the same block twice, which is really, really annoying! Not to mention not being able to fly with elytra because I fly into walls and die.

I seem to recall you originally forgot to add a button in the video settings for clouds to be toggled off/on back in the day, and now you seem to have forgotten to add it for this new feature called "fog". It makes the entire game laggy, and I'm experiencing a lot of rollbacks due to it, having to re-place and re-mine blocks over and over just because the fog is lagging out my game.

The fog also makes all details on any build disappear, so I feel like I'm running around in a 2D game, not a 3D one, due to all the details being smoothed/blended out. Some googling says you can remove fog by installing extra stuff from third-party vendors and that they need to be manually updated to current versions (and it may take them some time after updates to renew their mods) to be able to remove fog, but I must admit that I find this unacceptable. You are the creators, and you should be able to remember to make new features toggle-able "on" or "off" when they impact the devices/machines they are played on so heavily that they cause such severe lag. Usually, you can just tweak the setting by lowering the quality until you have fixed the bugs causing problems, but for some reason, even with all settings on the lowest, the fog can't be removed, nor is there any command to disable it on Java. Please fix this!

It would be different if your Minecraft Launcher had a direct link to where to install the mods from a safe place to make the game playable (i.e., turn off fog), but as it stands now, players have to google and hope to find something that isn't full of malware! So please hurry up and add a command or a button to turn the lag-causing fog off! You did so for clouds, so please do so for this "fog" too!

You specified 'Java' in your environment, but Vibrant Visual is Bedrock-only. Could you please clarify which project you wanted to report this in, as it currently makes no sense to me?

i could prolly add: not even setting brightness to darkest possible works (moody)… and the black just look deep grey, not black…

i agree, there should be a way to turn off the new fog, it doesnt look good for most things, and with shaders, it just adds ontop, making it look bad

okey: i guess my question should be: what have you done to all colors in minecraft in the new update that makes everythign beeign greyed out, instead of radiantly colorfull?? you have changed something cause i havent changed any settings and blacks are not black anymore and all colors are less vibrant. look at the screenshot, thats just a day inbetween (and a few houers of gameplay)

Please answer my question so that I can move the report if necessary. Otherwise, please rewrite the description of your report, as there are literally no 'Vibrant Visuals' in Java.

had to reload the page a few times to be able to change the report! sorry for beeign so unpolite earlier.

also: sorry for misspellings(i tried to fix them as best i could) but i do have dyslexia and english is not first nor second language i learned*

Hey, everything's fine. Regarding that part:

secondly, i cant turn off the fog. it makes all details be smoothed out on builds, and takes away all radiant colors and all blacks are gray instead of blacks, even if you turn the settings down to moody!! please add a button so one can turn of the fog, or the least a command to dissable it!!!

I'll remove it from the ticket, as you can't put multiple issues in a single ticket, and this is a feature request, not a bug. This site is for bugs only. For feedback, please visit http://feedback.minecraft.net.

i went to the feedbackpage. its broken, as usual, adn you cant post any feedbacks… adn i think you missed the fact that the fog is what is root-cause of the lag….. so ill change the report so that it cant be missunderstood what the problem actually is.

Thank you for your report!
