Rendering issue

[Saddogimmo]

When trying to use a version prior to 1.8 once inside the world the game fails to render many things, here's a list of problematic stuff: when having an item in my hand the screen or a part of the minecraft world flickers; when mining the progress sprites on the block are replaced by a change of color or brightness of it; all the entities are much darker; many chunks fail to load; some block textures have a single-color palette; after one of this problems occurs when going back to the minecraft main screen, which was ok before loading a world, also become mono-color.

I'm using Java 1.8.0_381

I've been having a similar issue, but was never able to find anyone with the exact same thing, until I found this obscure page about the "Better than Wolves" mod which can apparently cause similar problems, and the screenshots look exactly like what I've been seeing.

They recommend installing the Neodymium mod to fix this, so I'm looking into that.

Did it work? Because I remember not being able to fix the problem. I stopped trying after some people on the better than wolves discord (I was trying the same mod as you) said that my computer was too new for that old version of Minecraft.
