The bug
Generation bug where in badlands biomes, terracotta generates in caves deep enough where its obvious its not supposed to be there (y=18 in the screenshot provided.) In this case it generated near an aquifer, I'm not sure if that's aquifer specific or it happens in other cases as well.

I think this is caused by MC-236613. If not it is very closely related
Please provide the seed and coordinates.
