[ghost]

Description of Issue

Well, basically just black smoke particles are being shown at your crosshair

Steps to Reproduce

1. Download HD U L5
2. Join any server (it can be Hypixel, HiveMC and anything else)
3. Look into the void (you can see my screenshot for better understanding btw)

OptiFine Version

1.8.9 HD U L5

Installation Method

I used standalone installer.

Log Files/Crash Reports

See the log

F3 Debug Screenshot

Prior Testing

If you've installed standalone:

• Does this happen in Vanilla without OptiFine?
• • No, it doesn't. It also doesn't happen on 1.8.9 HD U I7.

This is the server spawning a boss and then despawning it for the bossbar advertisements & the sort. This happens in Vanilla as well as I7 and has been an "issue" for awhile.

No, it doesn't happen in vanilla.

Also doesn't happen with I7.

These are the particles of an invisible wither. There is no code to hide particles of invisible withers on vanilla or optifine, but the reason they only show on some servers with optifine is because optifine increases the non ignoreRange particle render distance from 16 to 32. Seeing as many servers use invisible withers for their lobby bossbars, it may be a good idea to add a invisibility check before rendering particles for a wither.
