Overall:
This bug seems to affect hardcore worlds.
Upon death in a hardcore world, the normal "You died!" screen appeared, with the options to spectate world or save and quit to title. I clicked the spectate world option, but after doing so I was put in a void that only seemed to consist of the sky texture/sun. No blocks or terrain, no entities or mobs, no clouds, nothing. I tried using /gamemode spectator and /tp , but I just got an error message (I know close to nothing about commands). When I checked the F3 menu, I saw that my coordinates were near 0, 0; I decided to fly to those coordinates to see if any spawn chunks were visible, but none were. The same result happened after exiting the world, quitting Minecraft, and reentering. I've created a couple hardcore worlds, and the bug occurs consistently across them.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a hardcore world.
Die in some way, whether by fall damage, mobs, etc.
Select "Spectate world" when presented with the death screen.
Observe surroundings. (Should be in void, free of any terrain or entities.)
Screenshots:
The screenshot with the F3 menu open is the last screenshot I had taken on a recent hardcore world (just to remember the coordinates of the shown villages/cherry blossom biome). The other screenshot was taken after clicking "Spectate world" and attempting a command which I evidently don't know how to do.

Will do. I'll also include a video of the process if I can. I do know all the deaths were mob deaths, if that's relevant.
I only attempted to use commands after I had already been placed in the void. The commands I tried to use were:
/gamemode spectator
/tp [ X Y Z]
The issue seems to have resolved itself on my end, although after being put into spectator mode, I can still fly to the completely void area where I was immediately spawned before. The bug I mentioned also happened on different seeds.
I won't be able to upload a video due to size constraints. What happened was: I spawned in normally upon death while playing on a copy of the original world. I was still able to fly to the completely void area while in spectator mode. However, if I play one of the worlds that the bug occurred on, I'm still placed in the void, outside of any terrain or anything.
Seems to be resolved, -ish. For now, spectator is working as intended on the seed shown in the screenshot. Unfortunately, the other worlds I played on are still putting me in the void, so I can't see any of the progress I've made. Thanks for the help! I'll be sure to update this issue if it comes up again.
Thank you for your report!

I couldn't reproduce, I used the same exact seed and died and when I clicked spectate world everything seemed fine, can you try reproducing this again? And if possible try to remember the command you entered, it may have been the reason for this happening.
