      The Bug

      When being high above the world and looking downwards, the framerate drops significantly.
      I discovered this while testing 1.17's new world height customization option. This does affect 1.16.4 as well though.
      In my case, FPS drop from ~70 to ~30.

      My guess is that despite the world being out of render distance vertically, the game still tries to render all the chunks below at once.

      How To Reproduce

      1. Be in creative mode and double tab space to start flying
      2. /tp ~ 512 ~
      3. Look down
