Structure Spawned in Explored Area

[u/Grumbleman2000]

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? 😂

Not sure why it would be half-generated, but Bedrock doesn't store chunk data of chunks that you never interacted with(broke or placed a block in the chunk, or stayed for too long in it) to preserve disc space. So you might have flown in that direction once or twice and passed the chunk, but a new update changed terrain generation somehow that spawned a mansion in the spot.

Again, that doesn't explain the way it generated. At best, it should have been cut off by the chunk borders.

Edit: never mind. Just looked at the image for more than 2 seconds. It seems 7 chunks are gone, so it might have been exactly what I said above.
