The Bug
When placing blocks in a chunk, which wasn’t loaded before, they play the new chunk fading animation, which makes them flash for the set time in video settings.
Reproduce
Show the chunk borders with F3+G
Fly up so that you don’t have blocks nearby
Place a block by using for example /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:grass_block
See the block flashing white
You can continue on this by building blocks from the grass block until you reach the chunk border
Once again see the block flashing white
If you try to break the blocks and placing them again in the same chunk, it doesn’t flash anymore
Alternatively you can just build up with blocks and see them flashing from time to time
Observed Result
The block flashes white.
Expected Result
The block doesn’t flash.
