which was fixed in 1.17.1 pre 1 this issue is directly related as it started in 1.17.1 pre 1. issue not present in 1.17 but you are still able to see the sun and moon in blindness, the void skybox and the end skybox which pre date 1.17.1 pre 1
the end issue doesnt need blindness and the fog even fov fog (and dragon fog) have this issue to a lesser extent but suprisingly it seems to work as intended in render distances 3 and lower meaning its somewhat related to the render distance issue that was fixed in the overworld.
The overworld blindness issue seems to be caused by them allowing render distance 3 and below to see the sky;

The nether does not have any such issues due to its non-existant of skybox.

blindness issue in overworld can confirm 1.17.1 pre 1 - 1.17.1 (cannot confirm in 1.17)
end issue can confirm 1.17 - 1.17.1
