Whenever an item is placed in an Item Frame, entities darken (mobs, XP, other frames). This happens when the frame is rendered.

It seems to be dependent on view direction.
See video for example

Further testing indicates when item in item frame renders, the mobs become darkened. If the item is out of field of view, no darkness occurs.
@Nikos, it affects any entity if you have the item in the item frame and the entity or mob onscreen at the same time
Yes, I have been reading your posts. You are making good progress digging into this; the Youtube video explained some as well.
Okay so you should update the title to explain this. Clearer info in the bug description is always better. Perhaps change the title of the bug to "Entities darken if an item in an item frame is rendered on same screen". And note it's not "one special happy spot", rather when they are both rendered in the FOV.
Confirmed.
However, items from south direction work properly.There is more to this bug. Seems dependent on location.
