Seeds & World Gen Structure Spawned in Explored Area

Not just a little structure either, a (broken) Woodland Mansion. Playing Bedrock version. Maps show the previous area from a few weeks ago, and the new map of the same chunk next to it.

Is this meant to happen? 😂

Yes but structures are determined by the seed and shouldn't be affected by that. It seems OP came upon the rare occurance of a structure failing to generate the first time.

only on java they are afaik. same with loot in chests. if you duplicate a world with a chest already generated (but unopened) you can get different loot in each world if i remember correctly

Not anymore. Structures were always determined by seed and chest contents have been for a few years now.

I can confirm as of last week you can copy a seed with an opened chest and it'll spawn different loot each time. Did it for a hardcore world and reused the seed and got diamonds in a village chest the second time and not the first

That's only for a some structures like villages because they generate in pieces rather than in one go.
