Bug Description

When a player enters an underwater environment, Minecraft performs the animation of adapting to visibility conditions. This effect basically consists of a smooth increase in brightness and distance to the edge of the fog:

(please, ignore the bug with fog occlusion)

This effect works without any noticeable issues in Minecraft 1.21.5 with Sodium 0.6.13, however in 1.21.6 the brightness level changes unevenly:

Reproduction Steps

  1. Install Minecraft 1.21.6 (tested with Fabric Loader 0.16.14)
  2. Install Sodium 0.6.13 (also happens with 0.7.0 builds)
  3. Create and join a world
  4. Go underwater
  5. Avoid moving camera (you can do so to manually trigger the fog change)
  6. Observe the fog animation bug

This bug also affects the new ground fog, but it's much easier to see and test it underwater.
