Option to have the old non-smooth Sunset/Sunrise lighting

I love that the game has an option to disable smooth lighting as I prefer the blocky nature to the smooth lit blocks. However one change that has bugged me for years is how the sunsets and sunrises are really smooth and lack the sudden change factor they used to have, I think it looks really jarring and out of place having permanent smooth lighting from the sky to the ground but light blocks on the ground can have non-smooth lighting or smooth lighting. If an option to toggle smooth sunsets/sunrises were added I feel others like myself would love to use it. I know this feature is probably

useless to many, but the few people who do want it will really appreciate the option.

Edit: to clarify I mean the 'choppy' lighting from the alphas and early betas, It made the nights much more impactful.
