This started when the caves and cliffs update came out but I heard that it was still around in 1.16. I made a nether portal at my base and when I returned from the nether, I came out in the middle of a village not far from the base, though I could have spawned anywhere in the overworld. It is extremely annoying because when I played on 1.16 then the portal worked fine like it always used to. Please fix this and other bugs because bedrock edition is filled bugs.
Thank you for your report!
