@Omar Elkhalil - yes, both before the bug happened and after I was able to find buried treasure chests in other locations - only the MAPS themselves are bugged.

You may see it for yourself by checking your seed coordinates for treasure locations. And this is the only unfortunate way I've been digging for Hearts of the Sea, it's "cheaty"... just be sure to select "Bedrock" on the dropdown

@Michael Sciortino - I will check maps from cartographers ASAP, good idea TBH

I have reduced the 9 adjacent chunks of the glitched map "X" area down to bedrock hahahaah

Still the maps are generated the same, showing the land before I dug it out

Oonce I start "filling" the map, the discovered portion just shows a huge chunk of nothingness hehehehe

I have several snapshots of this saved world before and after the bug; just waiting for Devs/QA to reach out

Ditto for 1.16.0.67 - I was able to find 4 treasures and the last one basically "stuck" the new treasure maps. Dozens of maps, further than 12000 blocks, all point to the same godforsaken islan

>the game seems to be generating a map that is for the closest buried treasure to spawn

In my case the treasure that bugged out was the closest to 0 , y , 0 - my spawn was in the 1000s for some reason...

I was so tilted with this that I have actually obliterated the entire chunk that contained the chest (including water blocks), down to the bare bedrock. Will see what happens when I find another treasure map.
