minecraft:item particles flip textures horizontally
Relates to MC-241006 and MC-241036
The bug
The minecraft:item particle generates particles which are flipped horizontally from the texture file itself, as well as what is seen in the inventory.
How to reproduce
- Obtain a stone pickaxe
- Obtain a repeating command block
- Set the repeating command block's command to /particle minecraft:item stone_pickaxe ~ ~2 ~
- Observe the stick particles that result
Expected results
Since the item form of the stick/handle spans from the bottom left to the top right, this should be how the particles display it.
Actual results
The texture appears to be flipped in the particles, with the stick going from top left to bottom right.

I can confirm this is true in 22w14a (Video attached and in 10 fps to give enough time to see that it is happening)
Can confirm in 1.19.
