Fellow player and just wanted to comment and say that was a nice catch. (I used to do QA assurance on videogames) I could be mistaken but, I bet it has something to do with the changes to lighting systems with the intro of vibrant visuals.
just out of curiosity have you tried to reproduce this with vibrant visuals turned off?
Also affects PS4 Bedrock 1.14.41 (1.14.30)
@IonicEcko Thanks. I guess I didn't search hard enough.
(fellow player) XD personally I think that looks legit and should be a “feature“ in certain biomes/events. But, then again I grew up with games where texture and palette swaps were par for the course.
