So I found a village, if you can call it that, without any buildings. It has a well and several gardens, but nothing else.This has got to be rare although I have found villages with just one or two buildings. Has anyone else ever discovered a 'ghost' village? By the way, I'm using 9.4.
OK, sure. It is 2913011233150883656, and the coordinates for the ghost village are -1324. 196. If you check it out, I'll be interested to know whether you find the same thing.
This is a seed which Big Alan found as a huge Abandoned Mineshaft. I prefer that kind of seed although villages overall are sparse and far apart.
Well, no, I didn't think about a screenshot, and don't plan to return there either since apart from a whole lot of chickens there is no game-reason to do so. Sorry about that.
Here's the "village" at -1324, 196 in a PCMCv1.9.4 world.
And the map.

If you aren't part of the solution, then you obviously weren't properly dissolved.
Me and my brother once found just a well but I don't have the seed
That shouldn't be possible in current versions because the game will not generate a village unless there are at least three structures (houses, gardens, and the well itself); this explains why AMIDST sometimes shows a village that doesn't actually exist, which usually occurs because it is too close to a non-village biome.
There is actually a way to get a village that consists of only a well though; I used NBTExplorer to edit "Village.dat" to change the "Valid" tag from 0 to 1 for a village that did not generate and deleted the region file it was in:
Note that the biome the well is in is entirely Extreme Hills Edge; when first determining whether to generate a village the game checks the biome from the center of the starting chunk (relative coordinates 8, 8, which was Plains in this case), then it does a similar check for each individual piece, which must be entirely within a valid biome for it to generate, and without the well nothing else will generate:
That will not happen under ordinary circumstances though; this appears to be true for versions back to at least 1.6. I've seen a couple three structure villages myself before, in both cases a library and blacksmith, followed by one with two small huts and a garden (in all three cases there was only one door; it is possible for a village to generate with none, thus the villagers do not recognize it as a village and wander away).
If the rule of three applies to structures rather than doors, then perhaps technically it is a village since it has a well and two gardens, one of which is a double.

As far as I can tell from looking at the code only paths do not count as structures, but the everything else counts; it could even be possible to find a village that is a couple lamp posts and a well (lamp posts only appear to be added when there isn't enough space to place a house between other houses). Double gardens are counted as one structure.
I just stumbled upon the same thing right now in 1.16.4, I was so confused so I looked up how rare that is and this was the only thing I found. seed is 1041193002 and the coords are 350, 64, -450. if someone does see this and can let me know what the chances are, please do

I realize these are made with White Terracotta, but they do look at bit pink. I know my brain always registers them as pink.
It definitely is closer to pink than white, or more accurately, a shade of orangish-brown, which makes sense you are dying a colored block, as opposed to wool, which is naturally white, which also affects other colors; for example, cyan would better be called gray since there is barely any cyan in it (I checked the colors in Paint and the middle pixel for "white" was RGB(212, 182, 163) and "cyan" was RGB(90, 93, 93), using the textures from 1.6.4, which haven't been changed since then according to the Wiki). The names used by 1.6.4 are IMO more accurate in this case; "White Stained Clay" (or "White Stained Terracotta"), meaning it was stained white, as opposed to simply "White Terracotta".

This is very interesting. Whats the seed?
Please share seed.

Wow, that's crazy! Well, part of your settlement is built already then!

Yes the well was on the side of a extreme hills biome so that must be why

The seed "1041193002" in Java 1.16.4 produces a Zombie village at 308, -428 not a buildless village.

Interesting, I once had a Zombie Village with one building on the edge, that was perfectly intact, one of those pink ones.
Pink buildings?
Are you running mods or am I missing something?
Just testing.
Found another one, suppost to be a Zombie Village, has paths, piles of wheat, 3 cats and some melons, but no buildings.
