The bug
I was playing on the latest version, 1.21.7, and I immediately noticed that something wasn't right. The surrounding looked bright and foggy, something that wasn't in 1.21.5. I looked it up on the internet, but I haven't found anything about this problem yet. I don't know if it's a bug or you wanted it like that, but I don’t really like this change; I hope you'll fix it.
There are some pictures I took in two different versions, 1.21.7 and 1.21.5.
Additional information
I was playing without any mods or shaders, just vanilla Minecraft, and all my settings were the same as in 1.21.5. The brightness was at 50%, and settings that could possibly make this fog were also turned off. I also didn't have any resource packs activated.
Problem: 1.21.7
