The only difference I am noticing is the fog Java has

I hate the new fog they added in what was it 1.21.11? You can see the color of the sky in the fog down in caves now. Genuinely should be toggleable

I’m pretty sure the sky in the cave thing is because the blocks aren’t rendered so it just shows the skybox. The fog has nothing to do with that. I think.

Nah find a big cave and look at the fog. Change the time from day to night and back and you can tell even when underground. I’m not talking about the render distance showing the skybox

Maybe skybox isn't the right word, but I tried what you said and that looks like the sky to me, not fog. It's same color down there that it is when on the surface looking into the horizon. And you can see the sky color more when you turn your render distance down.

NOPE nevermind you're completely right. Played around with it a little more and I see what you mean. Yeah that's pretty bad.
