In version 1.18 strongholds in chunks that where generated in older versions are not detected.
How to reproduce:
Open the attached reprod-world in 1.17.1 (player location in stronghold at -7362 30 -4147)
run "/locate stronghold"
or leave the stronghold and throw ender eyes
open the world in 1.18
run again "/locate stronghold"
or leave the stronghold and throw ender eyes
Expected behavior:
in both versions the locate command (and the ender eyes) should lead to the closest stronghold at -7362 30 -4147.
Actual behavior:
in 1.17.1 it works correctly: ender eyes and "/locate stronghold" lead to the closest stronghold at -7362 30 -4147

in 1.18 ender eyes lead to a stronghold at -7784 ~ -1640 (about 2537 blocks away)

Duplicate of MC-135996. Same cause, stronghold locations changing between versions.
@unknown this issue is NO duplicate of MC-135996 maybe related, still different.
Because this issue does NOT exists since version 1.18.
In e.g. 1.17.1 the stronghold where correct detected by ender eye AND the Locate-command.
So whatever caused this problem must be anything that was changed from 1.17.1 to 1.18
As stated by Dhranios, this issue is MC-135996, with it having the same cause but in a different version. This behavior has also been documented for other structures meaning it all relates to the same issue with the /locate command (and eyes of ender in extension) failing to locate pre-existing structure data.
