Everything turns red

Sometimes after joining Skyblock on Hypixel my whole client turns red, and stays like that even after disconnecting and makes me have to restart it.
The latest.log suggests it might have to do with a special character that might appear in Skyblock "☃", as this is the only thing that appears at the time where it happened:

3DSkinlayers
add-on installed, I only haveVoiceChat

just in case and send an update if the issue persists -

2025-05-17 16:26:06As a side note, I've also had this issue happen to me on 2 other devices, all running Windows 11 and no more add-ons different from the ones listed.
This issue isn't new for me, I've had it happen every now and then for some months now, so I was surprised to find no one else in the forum reported it before.Here's a video from when I got online that time until the whole window turns red https://youtu.be/Ybne9PLZMxw (everything turns red between 11:44:47-11:44:50 in the log).
It won't let me upload the log itself so here's what the log says from when I get online until the video ends. The specific error that keeps apparing also seems to appear in other moments of the log, but it's the only thing that got logged on the moment the window turned red:

2025-05-29 02:18:47It happened again (with Flux enabled), here's the new full gamelog, and again, it only happened when connecting to Hypixel Skyblock: https://paste.labymod.net/obilukubiluxakuliziz, and here's a new

2025-05-29 09:58:27Fix found: to fix the bug once it happens, disable the
Flux
Add-on, switch lobbies and move a bit. The colour will go back to normal. So it seems that the bug has to do withFlux
.If you need Flux and don't want to keep switching it back off, I suspect the bug might come from having the
Flux
->Lighting
->Chunk Unload Strategy
set toSKIP
, I'll switch it toQUEUE
and update this post if the issue persists. -

2025-05-31 11:08:31Update: the issue persists no matter the Flux lighting settings, so I recommend just outright disabling
Flux
for a while. Having preload lightON
orOFF
doesn't change it, settingChunk Unload Strategy
toQUEUE
orSKIP
keeps the bug, and setting it toIMMEDIATELY
makes everything pitch black instead of red... So yeah, if anyone else finds this bug, disableFlux
entirely and go to a different lobby to fix the bug.
