Anyone out there can explain why I found this end portal with the extra set of eye sockets? Is this normal but rare, some glitch, or have some additional meaning?

My end portal that I found is 4x4, requiring 16 eye of enders (some were prefilled), all I see online is a 3x4 requiring 12 eye of enders (unless one is made in creative then it can be 2x4,3x4,4x4 apparently).

I can’t explain that at all. I’ve never seen anything like it and can’t find any explanation for it.

What version are you playing, and on what platform?

Sorry, false alarm my kid hacked my survival world and got a good laugh out of it. Nothing new on it. Mods can close this one (I flagged it for closure)
