Upon leaving end farlands, i threw and ender pearl into gateway, but it took me into void.

I was playing realms with friends, and we all have a lot of progress (elytra, lots of diamonds, big bases, etc) and I decided to go into the end farlands to get a dragon head. When i was leaving, I threw an ender pearl into the gateway. It teleported me into the normal end, but instead of putting me where it normally would, I was thrown into the void, losing everything (i had no chests, only shulker boxes), and am now miles behind everyone else. Is this a bug that has happened, or come up before, or is this a new thing?
