NB : note that MC-140973, MC-140759, MC-140975 and MC-143112 are very similar issues. They are all due to mistakes made when creating village's structures or arranging those in files where they shouldn't be.

The bug

Decorations, farms, and animal pens are in the same file than houses (in village structure).

This is a problem because it could happen that every "house" generated in a village would be a farm, a decoration or an animal pen. In this case, we couldn't really call this structure a "village", because the villagers wouldn't have a place to sleep.

Example of a village without actual house (doesn't work anymore since 19w07a, but the issue remains unfixed) :

Seed : 5419467522569981067

Coordinates : -2550 ~ 2150

In order to fix this bug, farms, animal pens and decorations need to be moved in an other file, in order to keep only the houses (which contain villagers) in the house file.
