[MC-253979] Experience dropped from Ender Dragon clumps into one orb

Me and my friend beat the Ender Dragon and only one Experience Orb with 60 levels dropped. This is probably intentional because XP groups into one orb to reduce lag.
EDIT: This is on a multiplayer server hosted with Apex Hosting, and is a Paper server.

I'm almost certain that this is working as intended as per the information within the 20w45a changelog article.

CHANGES IN 20W45A
Experience orbs now sometimes merge when in large quantities to improve performance. This does not change the rate at which the player can absorb them – it simply limits the amount of separate orbs floating around in the world. Orbs that merge will gain the lifetime of the most recently created one.

Is this on a multiplayer server?

Paper is not vanilla.
