Description
Expected behavior
When generateStructures is set to true, I expect all structures, including strongholds, to generate in custom worlds
Observed/Actual behavior
All other structures except for strongholds generate
Steps/models to reproduce
build this plugin and launch a 1.21.5 server: https://github.com/BluebirdYT/BorderHoarder
run the command "/startbordergame"
run the command "/locate structure minecraft:stronghold"
there is no stronghold despite other structures generating

Paper version
This server is running Paper version 1.21.5-103-main@2ba1675 (2025-05-29T12:14:46Z) (Implementing API version 1.21.5-R0.1-SNAPSHOT)
You are running the latest version
Other
Might be a spigot bug but paper hard forked anyways.
I have read docs and searched online and found nothing.

Research direction
Build the linked BorderHoarder plugin on Paper 1.21.5, start a border game with /startbordergame, and compare structure generation with generateStructures enabled. Run /locate structure minecraft:stronghold alongside checks for other structures; done means strongholds can be located in the custom world or the limitation is documented with a confirmed cause.
