Night vision causing severe colour artifacts and major differences from previous versions

Block and sky lighting have several issues in 1.21.9 Pre-Release 4 that were not present in 1.21.8

  1. Everything is much darker now (see “Uncovered Lighting 1.21.8.png“ and “Uncovered Lighting 1.21.9pre4.png“)

  2. Lit up areas can appear darker that unlit areas (see “Dark Lighting 1.21.9pre4.png“)

  3. Block lighting in dark areas appears starkly orange where it would previously blend in with it surroundings (see “Covered Lighting 1.21.8.png“ and “Covered Lighting 1.21.9pre4.png“)

It is also making these decorative blue stained glass panes appear grey/black around this portal due to the portal giving off block light.
