MCPE-40235Underwater with heart of the sea beacon, it's so dark!
My partner and I have a 'sea lab' that we created off an island. We made a nautilus/heart of the sea beacon. It gave us sight for a far distance underwater, but since this update, every time we go underwater now it's super dark and we can't see anything but about 50 blocks in front of us. The glass we're using for the structure has also grown a level of water beneath it so you can't see through them anymore, which is a real problem when building and hasn't ever affected us before.
When going downstairs where the building starts to go underwater, it's also very dark–like our torches aren't working. After 30 seconds or so it lit up finally, but underwater is still really hard to see, despite the beacon buff.

Turns out i can see fine on 1st player screen, but 2nd player is in the dark despite having the buff.
For 2nd player on any world, cannot see beneath the water from the surface at all no matter what time of day, but 1st player seems unaffected. While underwater, it is always very dark, and very hard to see. Seems to have nothing to do with the heart of the sea. Maybe a reflection issue?
First of all, it's called a conduit. Second of all, it sounds to me as if you went out of its range. Are you sure that it's fully activated? See this to make sure it's fully powered. https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Conduit
Was not bothered to look up what it was called at the time, whoops. lmao.
It has nothing to do with the conduit as my further comments have mentioned. 2nd player is the only screen affected by it being too dark, and it's much more dark than normal 'oh i'm underwater' dark. I recently saw another bug posted, showing that others are also experiencing this issue. It happens everywhere, in all waters, whether I'm right next to the conduit with the buff or not, and in other worlds. I cannot see through water from the surface, and I cannot see the surface through the water while underwater, and it's like nighttime all the time (while underwater). Pretty annoying bug!
Cannot see at all underwater as second player - player one is on a computer, I am on my tablet in Minecraft mobile/bedrock/pocket edition. I have tried enchantments and potions both, but my whole screen goes completely black as soon as I go underwater. Super frustrating, and it was working fine until just this week!
