[MC-306184] If you save and exit the world immediately when the explosion was going to happen and enter it again, there will be lighting problem sometimes after the explosion.

The bug:

If you save and exit the world immediately when the explosion was going to happen and enter it again, there will be lighting problem sometimes after the explosion. Unless you relog, it won’t be updated.

This affects TNT, Minecart with TNT, and End Crystals.

This affects the latest snapshot (26.1 Snapshot 6), but I’m not sure if it also affects previous versions.

Steps to reproduce:

Ignite TNT, Minecart with TNT, or End Crystal.
Save and exit the world immediately and enter it again.

Expected result:

The crater caused by the explosion looks normal.

Actual result:

The crater caused by the explosion may have lighting problem sometimes. Unless you relog, it won’t be updated.
