Description
Expected behavior
Some structures return an incorrect position of the bounding box.
The following structures usually return the bounding box too high:
Cold Ocean Ruins, WarmOcean Ruins, Beached Shipwreck, Shipwreck, Buried Treasure
The following structures usually return bounding boxes that are too low:
Jungle Pyramid, Igloo
All other structures seem to be correct.
The problem only seems to occur in newly created chunks. After a server restart, the bounding box is displayed correctly.
Observed/Actual behavior
Newly loaded chunk:

After a server restart:

Steps/models to reproduce
- Install the StructureBoundingBoxTestPlugin.
- Go to the structure described in the problem above. And see at which position the bounding box with diamond blocks is displayed.
- Restart the server and go to the same structure and the bounding box seems to be in the right place.

Research direction
Use the StructureBoundingBoxTestPlugin reproduction to compare bounding boxes for the listed structures in newly created or loaded chunks and after a server restart. Verify the offset directions and determine whether all affected structures become correct after restart. Done means the bounding boxes appear at the correct positions without requiring a restart.
