Every time you load into a world; the edges of the screen will darken before fading away.
Steps to reproduce:
Launch Minecraft Preview (1.21.60.23)
Create a new world
Observe the edges of the screen
Expected Result:
The Edges of the screen are not dark unless the player is spawned in at a y level lower than -10.
Observed result:
The Edges of the screen are dark no matter what y level the player spawns at, but they do end up fading away with time.
Notes:
This bug relates to MCPE-121983 and was likely an unintended side effect caused by its fix.
If you're having trouble noticing it, here are some example seeds with generally bright surroundings:

I have a hunch that this could be caused by MCPE-180268. If this is truly caused by the respective issue, then it would certainly make sense because it implies that as the world is loading in, the player might have fallen a couple blocks down due to the fact that simulation is active. The fact that the issue in regards to villagers or other entities falling is observed in MCPE-186726 and MCPE-186753 would make it not a stretch to suggest the player can be also affected.
