light glitch issue #196

This mod causes a light glitch making mobs light up when I'm facing a certain direction usually WEST. Technically it causes the shading to no longer work on mobs making them appear to light up.

I have spend days trying to figure out what causes this narrowing it down to this specific mod.

According to my research the bug is caused by transparent objects like "air light block" or cosmetic light or invisible light. It messes with vanilla lighting algorithm causing cascade rendering issues. But it only happens when those invisible or transparent objects are in a certain order or position for ex closest to player or in front of other objects.

Even tho no block was placed this mod will instantly cause this glitch which makes me think it changes something about the world or the player or even the screen.

You can however see this glitch when looking though a Quantum Jar at water/ocean behind (though) the jar. All the water will be rendered as if you have night vision potion effect.

Obv is an old mod unsupported I dont expect this to ever be fixed but it was fun to play it 👍 Thanks for the good times.
