When I turn mip mapping levels on, textures are blurred far to much / textures close to me are blurred the way far away textures should be.
Notes:

• I can still see everything in my creative inventory ok, and everything I have looked at in chests is also fine.
• This error does affect multiple worlds.
• I have seen the page MC-31896, but that page has been resolved (sort of), and the crash report is probably too long for a comment. I am having the same issue in minecraft 1.8.4 (and have never had it before).

  Here is the report when I crash minecraft (which was asked for in MC-31896):
