Since both 1.16.5 and 1.17.1 were released after snapshot 21w10a I made an extra comparison including 1.14.1.
My ingame graphics settings are default.
As you can see there are just little differences between 1.16.5 and 1.17.1. Both are really bad results as you can see in the following comparison.
Compared with the older OpenGL version from the 1.14.4 version of Minecraft the newer 1.16.5 and latest 1.17.1 are really bad.
