The bug
In some worlds, after the ender dragon has been respawned and defeated once, after any further respawns, no new end gateways will spawn until the world is reloaded.
There also have been reports of end gateways not generating at all in some worlds.

Only the end dimension sould suffice.
An additional question that might be crucial in finding the issue: What server software do you use?
https://easyupload.io/uecewg - There you go!
Also, I use the "server.jar" file. It has been like that since like, ever.
I'm also using the latest snapshot (20w06a) but this issue occurred before I converted it to the snapshot.
Okay, I have found out that the very first time, a new end gateway is generated, however after that, the generation of any further end gateways will fail. Reloading the world / restarting the server allows for another end gateway to be generated. I was unable to reproduce the issue in a freshly generated world though.
How long will the download of your world's end DIM1 folder last? Would it be possible to make it permanent?
I've updated my survival world to 1.20 and I'm still experiencing this issue- they just never spawn for me. I have 7 even though I've killed at least 15 dragons (don't know exact amount cuz my statistics are wrong)
I can't reproduce this behavior in 1.20.3-pre2, an 18th and 19th End gateway is generating. Is this still an issue for anyone?
Yes, it's happening to me. Created world in 1.16. Have 3 gateways opened. Today I killed dragon 3X in 1.20.2 with no new gateways opening. Reloading didn't help.
This issue happened with me, I detailed it in MC-268655, I am currently playing in 1.20.4 and generated the world in 1.19+, I have the first gateway but no subsequent gateways.
