[MC-309428] Lighting is broken on all entities including all block entities and mobs

Sides of entities are shaded arbitrarily. I tested all of the graphics API modes and the issue was replicated across all settings. Issue occurs all across all worlds. Issue also appears to get better when the GUI is hidden

Environment

I am using an RX 9060 XT with the latest drivers downloaded
