Lighting errors everywhere
The bug
I opened up a new world and there were these weird blocky lighting errors all over my world. When I reopened the world today, the lighting errors were gone.
Note
From Stef B:
The issue isn't "linked" to a certain seed and coordinates. The shadows can randomly appear in any world.
Other things to mention:
- Hostile mobs can spawn in the shadow and undead mobs do not catch fire.
- Both client light and server light are affected.
- The shadow affects multiple, adjacent and complete chucks (the shadow ends at a chunk border).
- The shadow disappears after reloading the world.

I'm trying to start Minecraft to check whether it's been fixed in the last snapshot, but unfortunately, the game crashes for me when loading a new world. I'll try again later, although I think this is the same issue as MC-139038.
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is a Duplicate of MC-139038 / MC-134158.
If you have additional information, please add it to that report.
Please search before reporting, as it's likely that one exists already.
For the mobs spawning, the mob cap mostly is reached, try to run /kill @e[type=!player].
Please next time create one report per bug.
