Discovered while testing MC-312206.
Freezing the game using the /tick command pauses just about every animation in the game, be they animated blocks or animated entity geometry. The enchanted item glint is an unaccountable exception.
To reproduce:
drop an enchanted golden apple
/tick freeze
observe
Expected results: the glint would be frozen in place, just like everything else in the world.
Actual results: for some reason, it still moves.
