Yes the problem persists, I also tried to downgrade the version of ItemsAdder but this does not change anything, the only command that I "reload" the texture is /iaz.
I also did other various tests but it seems that using the internal-hosting in a backend server connected to a Velocity proxy (I have not tried with other proxies) /iatexture isn't working also keeping the necessary plugins (ItemsAdder, LoneLibs, ProtocolLib, ViaBackwards and ViaVersion).
As soon as I remove the server from the proxy /iatexture starts to work.
If you want to see this problem too you can simply download velocity and put the backend server in the server list with its respective port (for example put 25565 to the velocity server and 25566 to the backend server) then download paper and launch it and as soon as it creates the config folder go to the file "paper-global.yml" and look for the entry "velocity" enable it and put the generated secret key in the velocity server and put on the backend server plugins itemsadder with the various dependencies and then try to do /iatexture with the texture already applied. (in summary you have to setuppare the server backend and velocity without plugins and add itemsadder to the server and do /iatexture with the texture already applied)
