[MC-136967] Desert village generates cactus blocks at invalid locations

The bug

Desert villages generate cactus blocks as part of the decoration. However, the placement rules of cactus blocks are not considered:

They are placed directly next to other blocks, which is normally not possible
They are placed on blocks other than sand (e.g. sandstone)

Can no longer reproduce with the provided seed and coordinates in 19w02a. Either fixed or we need to find a new set of seed/coordinates.

Here you can also see a cactus generating on top of a flower pot with a dead bush.

Is this still a concern in 21w40 and later?

Can confirm this is still an issue in 21w40a.

ampolive 2021-10-30T13:03:35Z

Can confirm in 21w43a.

ampolive 2021-11-13T14:48:07Z

Can confirm in 1.18 Pre-release 1.

ampolive 2021-11-24T01:20:14Z

Cactus generation seems to have changed in 1.18 Pre-release 7, but the seed and coordinates luckily still work.

ampolive 2022-02-24T22:44:19Z

Cactus generation has once again changed somewhere in between 1.18.2-pre1 and 1.18.2-pre3 but luckily again there is still a case of this bug nearby.
