The texture of many items and almost all blocks is absolutely awful. Before, if you were far away from a place, it would become more blurry, but in this new version, at less than 15 blocks away, the texture becomes horrendous. I believe this is caused by an "Anti-Aliasing," "Level of Detail," or "MipMap" option. In the images below, see how the items in the hotbar, the grass, and a stone tower in a village look.
Do you have any resource packs enabled? If so, does the issue still occur if you disable them?
