So, I've encountered this bug in versions 1.8 and up so far (Basically any version with a maximum render distance greater than 16). This will happen if I increase my render distance to anything greater than 16 chunks by an increment of 2 or greater. For example, if I have my render distance set to 15, and immediately increase it to 17, it will cause what is being displayed in the attachment. However if I increase it to 16, go back to the game, THEN increase it to 17, it won't trigger. Another example would be if I am at 16, and go straight to 32, it would trigger.
