Mirages!

I think it would be pretty cool if you could sometimes see a mirage in a desert biome in the distance if you stay in the biome too long or are low on food/health. If you're looking for your house that you lost, you might see something in the distance resembling it (or any kind of structure). You walk towards it and it disappears. You realize that it was just a mirage and get angry. Hmm... maybe this isn't such a great idea...

    In order to see a mirage, you do not need to be in the desert for a long time or starve. It is an optical phenomenon that can be photographed, it is not a hallucination.
    Mirage - reflection of objects from heated sand, aerosols (cloud), water at an acute angle (for an acute angle of reflection, a large distance is needed).
    Technically, it can be implemented as an inverted smoothed screenshot in the distance (on the verge of rendering chunks).
