Non-player map icons / markers in nether are rotated
The bug
The player marker / icon on maps created in the nether is supposed to rotate all the time. However, other markers and icons are rotated randomly as well when added / updated.
It might be intended for the green item frame marker, but is is very likely not intended for markers which normally cannot be rotated, such as banner markers.
How to reproduce
- Create a map in the nether
- Right click a banner
→
The banner marker is rotated
(You might have to add multiple banner markers in case they randomly got the correct rotation)

relates to
Before version 1.3 player icons on maps updated very frequently (most notably when rotating and holding the map). However, since then they update less frequently, resulting in a perceived laggy behavior.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Get an empty map item
- Use the map, so that the player icon is visible
- Move or rotate the player around
Observed Behavior:
The player icon will look very choppy and stutter when it updates.
Expected Behavior:
The map icon would consistently and clearly update, so that the player is constantly aware of their position on the map, and does not need to stop moving to ensure the map icon properly and entirely represents their position.
