I cannot find the mod anywhere online anymore and it seems powns has removed it, but here's a jar file for it:

[1.8.9] PingTag Mod - 4.0.zip

note: rename zip -> jar, as github didn't want me to upload a jar

it seems like it's caused by this here:

PolyPatcher/src/main/java/club/sk1er/patcher/asm/external/mods/pingtag/TagRendererTransformer.java

Lines 52 to 63 in e96a179

	private InsnList timesByModifier() {
	InsnList list = new InsnList();
	list.add(
	new MethodInsnNode(
	Opcodes.INVOKESTATIC,
	"club/sk1er/patcher/asm/external/mods/optifine/RenderTransformer",
	"checkPerspective",
	"()F",
	false));
	list.add(new InsnNode(Opcodes.FMUL));
	return list;
	}
