I recently survived random Hardcore sessions on version 1.16.5. At first everything was fine, there was even an outpost of bandits on spawn, which I screwed up without any problems. While exploring the world, I saw a path and was delighted - a village! By this time, it's time for me to go to bed, and I fell asleep easily. The next game day, I went to this village, but apart from a few zombie inhabitants and a couple of haystacks, I didn't see anything there. I know this is a rare event, so I decided to share it with the community. Here is the seed: -8423841053046655584. And coordinates: 300 63 -271
You found an abandoned village. They are sometimes called zombie villages.
They have no doors and random cobwebs replacing many blocks. No villagers or iron golems spawn with them. Zombie villagers spawn, but many burn to daylight. Some will survive if they spawned with armor or got stuck in a cobweb in a building.
They are indeed pretty rare, a 1 in 50 chance or around 2% chance, so finding one as your first and only village is very uncommon.
