Description

Expected behavior

I had an issue where there's a chunk refusing to generate in the world.

The bug started when someone used Phoenix616/RandomTeleport to get to the overworld from another dimension. Not sure if the plugin is relevant though.

Observed/Actual behavior

MCA and debugchunks:
chunk debug.zip

This issue corrected itself after a restart.

Research direction

Start with the attached chunk.debug.zip and the reported Paper version 1.21.5-103, then review the listed plugins and datapacks for a minimal reproduction. The issue provides no reproduction steps, so done would require reproducing the missing chunk and identifying a confirmed cause or a narrowly scoped fix.
