Shadows flash when blocks are broken and placed
Alot of the time when breaking or placing blocks a flash of shadow happens. It does not matter what type of pickaxe or enchantments. This happens no matter what. It also doesn't seem to matter you have a light source close by or far away it seems to happen when no light source is placed near by.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Place or break a block during night or day.
- placed torches/light source near by
- removed torches/light sources
Observed Results:
When you place a block there is a flash of shadow, it is very brief, but very noticeable. Could be dangerous for anyone effected by flashing lights. Light source distance doesn't seem to matter. It also happens with torches, lanterns, lava, all light sources i've used so far. It also happens with natural lighting.
Expected Results:
Place blocks without any shadow flashing.
Notes:
I have attached images, If video is needed i'm able to take video of the issue. 1st image is before, 2nd is as it happens, 3rd image is after it is done.

When you place a block in an area that’s not completely lit up random black splotches will pop up all over the screen and it happens after breaking every block. It also accounts when placing blocks, also every time. With Efficiency 5 and Haste on a Netherrite pick its easily fast enough flashing to trigger epilepsy and it’s forcing me to mine very slowly because I’m worried about having a seizure please patch quickly.
its not MCPE-144374, that lighting glitch is around the specific block, this will turn the entire screen black. and its not glitched over the area where you place the block its randomly all over the screen and can make the whole screen go black or a portion.
