A certain block (even when its empty) stops getting rendered beyond a certain distance and a hole is visible instead

Expected Behavior

Normally, there should not be a hole in the area surrounded with the red circle as there are solid blocks over there.

Actual Behavior

Instead of the blocks, one sees a hole when one gets away from that area beyond a certain distance. Approaching back to that area fixes the problem. Also, destroying the block directly to the right of it also fixes the problem and everything is rendered properly from all distances. However, adding that block back will make re-create that hole from over a

certain distance again

Reproduction Steps

  1. Once the distance between the player and that block is small enough, it gets rendered
  2. Stepping away from it makes that hole visible again
  3. Destroying the block directly to the right of it fixes the problem as the hole is no longer visible even from far away
  4. Re-adding the block reintroduces the exact same problem. Tested with stone, cobblestone and dirt blocks.

Merging this into tracking issue #1898.

I'm pretty sure this is a problem with Minecraft's occlusion/chunk culling algorithm. See JellySquid's comment on #333, and the bug report on Minecraft's official issue tracker (MC-70850).

Yes, I am aware, but I phrased my comment poorly. As Jelly explained in the comment I referred to:
"Sodium already fixes a few problems in vanilla's chunk occlusion, but ultimately we'd want to replace occlusion culling all together with a faster and more aggressive algorithm."

Sorry for any confusion :). Also, if I'm missing something, please let me know.
