Flywheel 0.5.X causes extra severe artifacts with active windmills when using Optifine shaders.

[antauriprime]

Describe the Bug

Flywheel 0.4.X used to cause active windmills to produce wanky shadows that would change directions alongside your camera, which was bearable. But 0.5.X brought some seriously unbearable artifacts (new ones move with your camera too).

Setting "backend" option to "OFF" and restarting the game did nothing. BSL, Complementary and Sildur's Enhanced Default have identical artifacts.

0.4.X used to say "off" or something along those lines in the F3 debug menu even when it was set to "ON" in the config. 0.5.X says "GL33 Instanced Arrays" even though I'm using shaders. (Shouldn't is say "OFF" as well? Mod page says flywheel doesn't work with shaders).

The worst part is, I can't even downgrade to the old mod pair now. Some up to date mods (probably some support lib mods) in my custom modpack are now not comparable with the old versions of Create/Flywheel and figuring out which ones would take me an absolute crapton of time :(

Reproduction Steps

1. Create any "Windmill Bearing" based contraption that could be activated
2. Activate said contraption

Expected Result

Either the lack of artifacts altogether or at the very least some wanky shadows instead of whatever this new stuff is.

A bit of an update:

The mod that caused the crash with an older create/flywheel mod pair turned out to be Supplementaries 1.1.3 and older, 'cause starting from 1.1.3 it has support for newer version of Create built in. So, if you find yourself in a similar situation, downgrading to Create 0.4a, flywheel 0.4.2 and Supplementaries 1.1.2 could be a decent temporary workaround. Hope somebody will find this info useful.

Btw, Happy New Year, devs!

Just wanted to add, this isn't a niche thing. Me and every person playing on my server are all experiencing the same issue, so we had to downgrade flywheel, create, and supplementaries as well. Seems to be triggered by optifine and shaders. Unfortunate.

The thing to take note of here, is flywheel/create updating is the cause of this to break. That means this is not on the Optifine developer to fix. Something that once worked no longer works after you updated, so this problem can't be solely swept under Optifine's rug.

+1 would also really like to see this bug resolved as it affects my server

Fixed in latest Create and Flywheel.
