The bug
Sculk can spread outside of the world border. This can occur when an entity dies nearby a sculk catalyst, spreading sculk blocks nearby. When this is done by the world border, some of these sculk blocks can generate past the border.
How to reproduce
Run the command:
/tp @s 29999980 -60 0
Place a sculk catalyst right next to the border
Spawn a cow, and kill it
❌ Some sculk blocks may spread past the world border
Expected results
The sculk blocks would not spread past the world border; instead, they would stop spreading before crossing the border.
