Pixelmon Mod - Bug tracker

Legendaries spawning out of discovered world not a bug

Ticket description:
I run a new pixelmon server starting with a fresh world recently and we render a map of the world using Overviewer so this can be viewed in a browser. I have noticed single, isolated chunks scattered across the -Z, +Z / South-West quadrant of the world outside of what has been discovered or generated by Minecraft. I believe these to coincide with the spawning of legendary pokemon. This is only in the South-West quadrant of the map and these single chunks extend out to about -50000 on each axis. We certainly haven't discovered that far out! These single chunks are in the region folder of the world (shortened list as it's hundreds of these):

(sizebytes regionfile)
5251072 r.-1.6.mca <--discovered map
12288 r.-190.0.mca <-- way way off the discovered world!
12288 r.-190.14.mca
12288 r.-170.-7.mca
12288 r.-172.-32.mca
12288 r.-173.4.mca
12288 r.-174.-8.mca

12288 r.-57.35.mca
12288 r.-57.45.mca
.

12288 r.-25.15.mca
12288 r.-25.21.mca


These can be viewed on the online map athttp://ob-mc.net/pixelmon. Scroll over the south-west area and zoom in to see the single chunks. I couldn't see any in other quadrants, so it looks like the spawning algorithm has some kind of bias to that area and extending out very far.

Pokémon spawn around the player's loaded chunks. If that chunk was somehow loaded, it will be spawning pokémon (and in this case, can spawn legendaries). But the Pixelmon spawner would not forcefully generate a chunk and then fill it with pokémon, so this is not a bug. Note, there is no difference between normal pokémon and legendary pokémon in terms of where they spawn, so if there are Pixelmon in a loaded chunks for a biome that can spawn a legend, then the legend will have a chance to spawn, like any other.
