Describe the bug
Blending effect between the sky and fog is lost at render distances above 32. Begins to be clearly noticeable at 40. Not sure if this is an issue with minecraft/fabric itself.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Turn render distance up over 32
2. See error

Expected behavior
The fog/sky display at 80 chunks as it would at 32 just further away.

Screenshots
32 Chunks, renders fine, looks as expected

80 Chunks, very harsh border between sky and fog layer. No blending.

Additional context
Any info regarding this is appreciated. Always open to chatting with people smarter than I am. Thanks :)

Thanks @ishland so this would be up to Sodium to change the behavior away from how vanilla handles it?

This is a vanilla rendering limitation. We do not touch any rendering part and its up to whatever renderer you use to decide how the fog is rendered.

From what I have seen so far vanilla also have this problem. Render distance extension is a pretty niche feature and I doubt sodium will ever fix this.

Thanks. I'll put in a feature request just incase.

It appears that Clear Skies can solve this issue.
Its 1.19.3 version also works on 1.20.4.
