When a player sees another rotating player/an armor stand, the player/armor stand does not rotate. (for players only the head rotates)
In spigot/vanilla the whole player rotates.
the cause of this bug is here: https://github.com/PaperMC/Paper/blob/ver/1.14/Spigot-Server-Patches/0037-Send-absolute-position-the-first-time-an-entity-is-s.patch - When I undo the changes in lines 56-75 (always calling this.f.accept(packet1);) it works as expected.
I actually thought this was a vanilla issue, but sure enough you're right.
Omg, I've actually seen this in game but didnt think anything of it.. One of my players turned to look at me as I was running around them, and only their head moved. I thought it was freaky, but then moved on with life and forgot about it. ^_^
Can confirm.
