(Java Parity) Darker block shading

In Java, blocks have darker shading than in Bedrock. This is most noticeable in brighter biomes such as deserts. I think blocks in Bedrock should have the same darker shading as Java. It makes a lot of biomes look nicer due to them not looking as bright.

    Item and entity shading is also darker. Shading in general is darker in Java. Bedrock really needs the darker shading as the very light shading makes the game look off. 

    I'd be nice if the improved shading the developers were talking about with Render Dragon includes this.

    Actually most blocks in Bedrock edition use the same shading as Java however some blocks like sand, red sand, and all sandstone variants of both have unusually bright shading, snow also had the weird lighter shading until it was changed to be more consistent in a recent beta. However I agree that mobs and other entities should get the darker shading as they currently look out of place.
