Monitors Break Shader Shadows

Minecraft Version

1.16.x

Version

1.97.0 and 1.96.0

Details

Description
Attaching monitors to a computer breaks shadows in any Optifine shader until the monitors are broken. This occurs with any combination of Advanced/Regular computers and Advanced/Regular monitors, both connected directly and via modem (note: reproducing this via modem does not require a computer, only for a wired modem connected to the monitor and then enabled (via right click).

Here's a short video demonstration unlisted on YT

I didn't show it in the video, but breaking the computer (as opposed to the monitor) doesn't fix the shadows; only breaking the monitor does.

Logs
Here's the latest.log file here for your reference*, and here's the specific Log Excerpt.txt for when the monitor is placed and the monitor shader info is loaded.

*Ignore all the "failed to load missing recipe" etc. etc.; I originally recorded the test video with all my mods on, then went back and tested again with just CC and Optifine to make sure it wasn't another mod causing a conflict (it was not), hence all the missing stuff lol

I'm afraid this a know bug and one I've no interest in fixing - I lost patience with optifine a long time ago.

There's a workaround documented on the wiki (https://github.com/SquidDev-CC/CC-Tweaked/wiki/Monitor-renderers#monitors-are-partially-whitetransparent-with-shaders)whigh should fix things for you.

I would talk to complain at talk to the optifine developers about improving their mod compatibility. Releasing their source code and using one of the currently popular mod frameworks will help.

I might have a personal gripe against optifine's developer/developers and the way they license their mod and interact with the wider modding community.
