Somehow made the world 'steamy'

[darkrising]

So I'm playing FTB Infinity lite for Minecraft 1.10 and I accidentally release a bucket of steam onto the ground which caused it to plume upwards against the top of my turbine room. Realising my mistake I quickly slap a cobblestone on the steam source block which gets rid of the steamy uprising.

The problem however is now the ENTIRE world is misty / steamy and I can only see about 10 or so feet.

I checked and every other dimension is unaffected.

My question is this.. how the heck do I remove the steam from my world?

Screenshots? I can't say I've ever head of that before.

I've never seen this either. Is the whole overworld effected, or just a large area? Is it y-level dependant?

My first thought was to fill the effected area with sand/gravel and then clear it to leave empty air (like one would do to remove water from an under water base). However, filling the entire overworld with sand has its own drawbacks...

I just logged into my server to see if I could get a screenshot and everything is clear once more... how very odd. Long lasting mist or just some failed cached value? I think more testing is in order.

Do share your results. This could be a fun way to annoy server mates if it's only temporary. Could be an interesting mechanic for use on an Adventure map as well.

Hi, if I am not mistaken, you should be able to remove the effect by jumping/swimming in water.

Hope this helps!
