Steps to Reproduce:
Open any world with or without Ray Tracing on
Change the Sun Azimuth setting to any value in radians different from 0
If the Sun Azimuth setting is not available to you in game, you can instead use one of the attached cheat tables (for use with Cheat Engine) to access it. These Cheat Tables include the Sun's Azimuth, X, Y, and Z values.
Observed Results:
The Sun Azimuth value is no longer functional in any way. Changing it to any angle simply results in the Sun remaining in it's original azimuth.
Expected Results:
The Sun Azimuth value should've affected the sun properly, changing it's angle/azimuth according to the value it was set to. This functionality was present in versions of the game prior to the appearance of MCPE-153958.
I've attached two separate Cheat Tables for demonstrating the functionality of this setting present in release 1.18.31 but no longer seen in preview 1.19.0.31.

The setting is a value stored in Minecraft's memory and editable through cheat engine. The reason why it's there in the first place is because it is available in the developer's IMGUI menus for use with Ray Tracing. Since those are inaccessible in release builds of the game, the next best thing is using a program with the cqapability to change the value through editing Minecraft's application memory. Cheat Engine is one of those, and upon loading one of the cheat tables I previously attached to this post with the corresponding Minecraft version you'll gain access to changing the value. Since this was introduced in a 1.19 beta it would be best to use the 1.18.32 cheat table to see how it functioned properly beforehand. If you'd like a much more accessible way to access and change the sun azimuth in the latest versions of Minecraft then Render Bender would be your best option, available through https://github.com/SpeedyCodes/RenderBender
Thank you for your report!

Nothing about the world has been modified with a third party program. All that is required to reprodue this bug is to try and use the Sun Azimuth value in the developer RTX IMGUI menu, and the only way to achieve the same thing in release versions of the game is through a third party program that simply changes one variable stored in memory. No significant or permenant alterations are being made here, and the setting itself is officially available in non-release versions of the game. Since a third party tool is not necessary to reproduce the issue in non-release versions of the game, it shouldn't be considered invalid.
Hi
Can you please explain in more detail how to change sun azimuth? Does it occur with any RTX resource pack? Does it occur in 1.19.22?
