abandoned village outside typical range?

[Psion]

Hey guys, I found something i didn't think i would see when exploring for carrots - an abandoned village that was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay outside the typical large circle around spawn. like, my base itself is about 1400 blocks away from the zero point of the server map, calculating by fully zoomed out maps, and i sailed an ocean from there even further west for about 9 days by boat (with a sail). then i crossed a small continent followed by another 2 days sailing. then explored a good chunk of a continent before encountering this abberation. I know i'm still way out because my compass still points straight east to spawn, and i've been going westardly the entire time. I'm not entirely sure how far out i am, but i know from mapping while sailing (without a sail) a slow boat can travel almost 1000 blocks in a day..... so I'm probably about 30000 blocks out?

are abandoned villages without crops or villagers a chance no matter how far from spawn you are, or did i encounter a bug?

::edit:: i found another one, about 1000ish blocks away.... i know it's not the same one because now i have a second dead weight.

::edit 2:: also found a jungle and desert temple... that were also the "spawned as looted" versions.

I verified his distance at about 42,000 blocks from spawn using admin commands,in case it's relevant

All its fine, i think its a new feature that was addded in few last release.

It's not. If the villages are missing wheat, that's not due to the new features.

Can you pass me the seed and coordinates? That would be the fastest way to get to the bottom of this.

[TheGatesofLogic]

I don't have the exact coordinates of the village he was at, as I only verified his location a while later while he was travelling. I booted up AMIDST to try and get a gauge for where the village probably was:

Seed is 9054572832951103587
location is probably about -38720, -17200

That’s the closest village to his verified coordinates

[Psion]

Ok, found a couple of em. location is about 48327, 75, 3096. this has a temple and village next to each other, both looted. This is on SSP too, so it's not just the SMP server. these aren't the only ones either, in fact these are different than the ones i found in the same general area.

[Niyu]

I tested both coordinates in that seed.

Original Spawn is at 160, 256

-38720, 75, -17200

Village has wheat and windows have glass, but villagers are zombies

48327, 75, 3096

Completely abandoned no glass, no villagers and no wheat(abandoned fields). Near Desert temple also looted, but one of the chest contained a manuscript.

What version migrations has this map been through since original seed gen? Has OS been manipulated, or have any chunks been externally edited? (I ask out of pertinence to a friend's SMP who has those flags as true and this was errantly discussed weeks ago, but dismissed due to in-game urgency in seeking a mushroom biome.)

[Psion]

i tested it as a fresh map in my SSP world so its definetly none of that.

[TheGatesofLogic]

The server has been around since A4 dropped, and has the issues, but as psion said it has been tested in SSP with a fresh world

[MisterFister]

And "fresh" means Pronged Poking worldgen?

[Psion]

::edit:: no, it means 6sided sideshow, the newest version.

[FlowerChild]

Bah, my bad. It's a bug that must have been around ever since I added abandoned villages, but no one reported it until now. If you go out far enough from spawn, you'll get stuff like this

Will fix for next release.
