Phasing through blocks with the night vision effect causes all textures (including UI elements and text) to turn black. Pausing the game, opening the inventory and leaving the world do not fix the glitch, allowing it to affect things outside of the main game such as the main menu screen.
The same glitch happens for a fraction of a second while moving from water into a solid block, and from a block to water.

still the case

tried making it 2 seperate abilities, one for with night vision(allowing you to not have blindness while phasing) and one without it.
did so by changing render type from "blindness" to "remove_blocks" for the former, unfortunately that only removes the block your head is currently in so not much better of a result
