Created Issue:
When Clouds Form Underground You Can Still See The Sun Through Them
If the ground level is above 128 then clouds will form underground (this can be seen using the flat world pre-set "Tunnellers Delight") and is intended behaviour (see
MC-386).But if tunnel down to y=128 and stand/fly within the clouds the sun can be seen. Despite all the stone surrounding you.

I've created MC-3784 for the third part of this: seeing the sun through the clouds while underground.

Works as normal in 1.2.5 and 1.3.2.
Only works in 1.4.5 when above cloud layer.
Also makes it so anything above the clouds are invisible. As you can see, it worked in 1.2.5 and 1.3.2, but not in 1.4.5. All jars are vanilla.
@Matthew: all of your screen shots have sky behind them. This issue is when cloud form below ground (eg. when using super flat with more than 128 layers). It will not happen with non-super flat world generation because the clouds are always above ground.
@Richard: It's a similar issue. It's not that you can see the sky behind the clouds. It's that you can't see what's behind them. It instead replaces them with the sky/sun/moon. Load up the world in 1.3.2 and tell me if you can see behind the clouds?
There have been a number of similar issues reported, but most of them are just about the clouds forming underground. This is the only one I can find that clearly describes how everything above the clouds is invisible, replaced by open skies, when you're within the clouds.
it's fixed already:

I still see stars while being in a mountain and looking at the clouds in 1.7.4.
Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w08a? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Yes, the problem is still there in 14w08a.
This is a screenshot made from the ladder inside of a mountain. Needless to say, the sun shouldn't be seen there.
The game version was 14w08a.
Confirmed for 1.7.5 and 14w10c
Confirmed for 14w11b
Confirmed for 14w18b.
Confirmed for 14w21b.
The issue is still present in 14w34b. I attached a screenshot of a view inside a mountain.
The issue is present in 1.8-pre1 as well.
Maybe linked to
MC-9553The issue is present in 1.8-pre3.
The bug is in 1.8.2-pre5 as well.
Dupe of/relates to
MC-9553.The bug is present in 1.8.2-pre6.
Bug is present in 1.12 and 1.12.1
Confirmed for 18w32a
Confirmed for 1.13.1-pre1
Confirmed for 1.13.1
Seem to be fixed in 19w45b.
Confirmed to be fixed at some point during the 1.15 development phase.
Likely the same version that fixed cloud transparency
