So I’m playing on with experimental gameplay enabled on Minecraft bedrock edition for the Nintendo switch. Whenever I go underwater instead of just reducing vision it just makes the screen go completely black, regardless of the lighting level above water. It makes swimming underwater or exploring underwater impossible.
