ICONs not updating when using placeholder

Just making sure

Reproduction

Hi,

I wanted to make a dynamic Shop with DC using floating items and placeholders like

#ICON:%player_item_in_hand%

This should change when I change my in hand item. But it doesn't, it stays the same (the first item I had in hand). Once I reload the plugin it changes with the item I have in hand. but it stays static again.

Using the exact same placeholder as text, makes it dynamic, but ICON stays static. I also tried different placeholders from different plugins, it's all the same result.

Is that a bug somehow? Or did I just do something wrong? It works well with other plugins, so I expected it to work with DH aswell.

Log

no error in console, just a strange behaviour from DH

This is my personal guess here, but I believe DH intentionally doesn't update the item at an interval... Most likely because it would cause constant despawns and respawns of the item itself, which if a desync or similar happens could cause duplicate items to manifest which in the end could lag out the client if it happens too many times.

Hello, placeholders will now work in Icon lines since version 2.8.7.
