When creating display entities with a billboard value of horizontal, vertical, or center, it doesn’t face the player. This is a new bug that started in 1.21.9 Pre-Release 1.
Create a display entity and set its billboard value to vertical.
Notice how it doesn’t face the player when moving around.
Expected Result: The display should face the player as they move around.
Actual Result: The display faces the original summoned position at all times.
Environment
Windows 10, Minecraft Java Edition
