Confirmed for 15w51b. Affects offhand; does not affect main hand.

Strange enough, the bug happens also in the main hand. Well, at least for me.

@unknown turn particles on in the video settings

O.O

Please link to this comment in the description

The following is based on decompiled version of Minecraft 1.9 using MCP 9.24 beta. All method and class names are the names used in the decompiled version.

The reason why this is happening is because the net.minecraft.client.multiplayer.WorldClient.doVoidFogParticles(int, int, int) method only tests if the player holds a barrier block in his mainhand.

public void doVoidFogParticles(int posX, int posY, int posZ)
{
    int i = 32;
    Random random = new Random();
    // Replaced this
//ItemStack itemstack = this.mc.thePlayer.getHeldItemMainhand();
//boolean flag = this.mc.playerController.getCurrentGameType() == WorldSettings.GameType.CREATIVE && itemstack != null && Block.getBlockFromItem(itemstack.getItem()) == Blocks.barrier;
    ItemStack itemStackMainhand = this.mc.thePlayer.getHeldItemMainhand();
    ItemStack itemStackOffhand = this.mc.thePlayer.getHeldItemOffhand();
    boolean flag = this.mc.playerController.getCurrentGameType() == WorldSettings.GameType.CREATIVE && (
            (itemStackMainhand != null && Block.getBlockFromItem(itemStackMainhand.getItem()) == Blocks.barrier) || 
            (itemStackOffhand != null && Block.getBlockFromItem(itemStackOffhand.getItem()) == Blocks.barrier));
    
    BlockPos.MutableBlockPos blockpos$mutableblockpos = new BlockPos.MutableBlockPos();

    for (int j = 0; j < 667; ++j)
    {
        this.func_184153_a(posX, posY, posZ, 16, random, flag, blockpos$mutableblockpos);
        this.func_184153_a(posX, posY, posZ, 32, random, flag, blockpos$mutableblockpos);
    }
}
