Expected Behavior

Entities don't ignore fog and all get the same result on the fog distance.

Actual Behavior

Entities don't ignore fog and hide based on the camera position.

Reproduction Steps

Spawn an entity, move away until its starting to get into the fog, then move the camera around

The problem here is caused by entity rendering still using the old fixed-function pipeline, which doesn't use the same distance calculation as Sodium because it only exists as a proprietary NVIDIA extension. We'll have to extend our shaders to cover entity rendering in order to fix it, but that might help performance anyways.

As of 1.17 all systems have radial fog and this issue doesn't occur anymore.
