Can confirm every single version after and including 1.14 - This is incredibly annoying.
The bug
When insta-mining blocks, they appear dark for a split second. For instance, this can happen when mining stone using an Efficiency V pickaxe and having Haste 2.
How to reproduce
- Obtain the Haste II effect and obtain a netherite pickaxe enchanted with Efficiency V
- Mine stone
Observed behavior
Occasionally, some faces of the blocks surrounding the broken block appear dark for a split second.
Expected behavior
The blocks would not appear darker than they should be for a split second after a surrounding block is broken.

Can this still be reproduced in 1.16-pre8 or later?
Hi,
Yes, I confirm for 1.16 pre-release 8. Some block drops are black for a moment while insta-mining. I found the result with sand and gravel with a shovel efficiency 5. It is very brief so I took a lot of screenshots to capture the issue.
I personally noticed this for the first time since 1.15.2 so it may be linked with
MC-167359(which has been resolved recently).I found a video where issue is visible at 3:04
https://youtu.be/JraMjD4cxdU?t=184
I saw a video with this occurring, and was able to confirm for myself as well in 21w07a
Can confirm in 1.16.5 and 21w08b.
Can confirm in 21w13a.
Can confirm in 1.17.
Can confirm in 1.17.1.
I'd like to request ownership of this ticket since the current reporter has been inactive since December of 2019. I'm willing to keep this report updated and will continue to provide all of the necessary information.
Can confirm in 1.18.1.
Can confirm in 1.18.2 and 22w12a.
Can confirm in 1.19.
Can confirm in 1.19.2. Would it be cool if I can take ownership of this ticket since the reporter has been inactive for just under three years? Thanks in advance.
