How to fix this Minecraft lighting problem that I am facing on version 1.16.5?
So I am on minecraft version 1.16.5, and whenever I place some sort of light source the nearby blocks start looking like this:
It just looks so ugly, the block partitions become visible and the wall loooks like it's made up of blocks of the same type but of different shades. I'm using a shader pack, but that's not causing the problem as when I turn it off the problem still persists.
Please provide some possible fix, as I am not able to put lanterns in my house anymore.
Edit: here's an interesting thing...
This is with smooth lighting set to 100% and to maximum with the shader pack disabled.
Now this...
When I removed the wall directly In front, it disappeared.
It seems like the walls are casting some sort of shadow on each other. Should I just update to 1.17 or there is some other problem?

It looks like somehow you switched off Smooth Lighting - press Esc to access the menu, Options, Video Settings, Smooth Lighting, and change it to "Maximum".

Your problem is that you have somehow enabled Fullbright. Go into your settings and change your brightness to any brightness and then change it back to what you normally have your brightness on. This should fix the issue.How do you fix shading in Minecraft?
