[SOLVED] Graphical glitch in Minetest after system upgrade

A few days ago, I did a system upgrade. After the system upgrade, graphical glitches started to appear in Minetest. After I downgrade linux-lts to 5.4.98-1, the graphical glitch disappeared.

I'm using Intel GPU if that helps.

$ lspci -v | grep -A1 -e VGA -e 3D
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
        DeviceName:  Onboard IGD

Does anyone else have the same issue?

Edit: It looks like this problem is gone in linux 5.12.11

There are some issues with 5.10 kernel and the interaction with i915 and xf86-video-intel. As xf86-video-intel is in maintenance limbo where it's unclear how much actual development it receives, can you reproduce this without xf86-video-intel (and xorg configs referencing it) set up?

xf86-video-intel is not installed.

$ pacman -Qi xf86-video-intel
error: package 'xf86-video-intel' was not found

I'm on Linux 5.11.4, and this problem is still not solved.

Also, this problem is not specific to Minetest. The program gears also shows this graphical glitch.

Same problem with a 3rd gen (i5-3470) and the newest 5.10 and 5.11 kernel.

The problem occurs both with intel and the modesetting X-driver.
