Vibrant Visuals causes the screen to become darker when approaching zombies or spiders

When using Vibrant Visuals in Minecraft Bedrock Edition, the screen becomes noticeably darker when I get close to a zombie or spider.

This happens even when the mob is NOT burning and does not have any special effects.

When I move away from the mob, the scene becomes brighter again.

The darkness appears to be related to the distance between the player and the mob.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Minecraft Bedrock Edition.

1. Use Vibrant Visuals graphics mode.

1. Enter a world at night.

1. Find a normal zombie or spider.

1. Make sure the mob is not burning.

1. Slowly walk toward the mob.

1. Observe that the surrounding scene becomes darker as I get closer.

1. Walk away from the mob.

1. Observe that the scene becomes brighter again.

Expected result

The lighting of the world should remain consistent when approaching a normal zombie or spider.

Actual result

The surrounding scene becomes noticeably darker when the mob is close to the player and becomes brighter again when the player moves away.
