Even with MC-140759 fixed and with all the new Structures from Villages not missing a connecting Jigsaw Block it seems like Village Generation is in front of another unknow Bug that from my experience doesn't share a Pattern to determinate the cause of said Problem.
At the beginning I thought it was due to some incorrect names in the Structure Files as it seems like names accross Village Structures from different Biomes are not sharing the same Technical name, for example the Fisher Cottages, currently all of them have a different name and 3 of 5 Fisher Cottages are not generating naturally anymore:
Incorrect name in the Structure Files, previously it seems like this didn't happen since the valid name for this Structure was for example a Taiga Fisher Cottage:
✔ taiga_fisher_cottage_1.nbt
But at some point it got changed to only accept the name of the Structure as "Fisher" or "Fisher_Cottage" without the number 1, for example, the only Biomes where you will find Fisher Cottage generating naturally is on Desert and Snowy Tundra Biomes, this because the Fisher Cottage for Desert Village is saved with this name:
✔ desert_fisher_1.nbt
And the Fisher Cottage for Snowy Tundra is saved with a different name from the Desert Villages, but still can generate naturally without any problem, my guess is that the missing number 1 at the end (Something that the other Structures has on their name) still valid and let the Fisher Cottage generate on Snowy Villages:
✔ snowy_fisher_cottage.nbt
And now I will display how the rest of the other Fisher Cottage Structures are saved and why are not generating naturally anymore:
❌ taiga_fisher_cottage_1.nbt
❌ savanna_fisher_cottage_1.nbt
❌ plains_fisher_cottage_1.nbt
Solution for this, will be, save the Structures only with the "Fisher" name or match it with the Snowy Fisher Cottage by deleting the number 1 at the end of the name to let these Structures generate naturally again.
⚠️ That was in fact my guess for this Issue, but after a lot, and lot of deep testing I found out not only Fisher Cottages are failing to generate naturally in some Villages, after check on
MC-147742 I also realized the absence of the Plains Library #1.
➖ plains_library_1.nbt
And the weird thing is that this Structure doesn't have an incorrect or different name from another Biome, (Ex: savanna_library_1.nbt).
And even the Library #2 (plains_library_2.nbt) which has a different number from the rest of Libraries accross the other Biomes can generate without any problem, meaning that the name is not a problem here in this Issue.
The only thing I can add is that it was possible before to find these Structures in previous Snapshots when they were first introduced.
:info: I will list all the Structures that I cannot find naturally on Villages, I also want to ask any Feedback on this Issue since it's very hard to keep track on this.
I might be wrong and put an incorrect Structure that actually generates or I might forget about add one, anything is welcome so please let me know and I will try to Update this Issue as soon as Possible.
Keep in mind that to participate in the Feedback you need to be playing the most recent Pre-Release, because previously it was possible to find all these Structures when they were first introduced.
➕ Plains Village
➖ plains_library_1.nbt
➖ plains_fisher_cottage_1.nbt After visit more than 24 Villages it was possible to find a single Fisher Cottage on Plains, but it seems like the generation it's very, very rare, I think is even impossible to find more than 1 of these Structures in a Village.
➖ well_bottom.nbt
➖ plains_small_house_8.nbt It was possible to find this Structure, but compared to other Small Houses it was very rare to find.
➕ Savanna Village
➖ savanna_shepherd_1.nbt
➖ savanna_fisher_cottage_1.nbt
➖ savanna_temple_1.nbt
➖ savanna_small_farm.nbt
➖ savanna_large_farm_2.nbt
➕ Snowy Village
➖ snowy_shepherds_house_1.nbt
➖ snowy_small_house_4.nbt
➖ snowy_medium_house_3.nbt
➕ Taiga Village
➖ taiga_fisher_cottage_1.nbt
➕ Desert Village
➖ desert_large_farm_1.nbt

Hi, thanks for take a moment to check on this Issue. To start I had no Idea the Village Structure generation rate was conditioned by weights, that explains my observations in some Houses being way more common than others, hopefully the balance you did comes right in hand to at least be able to see these Structures once in a Vanilla World.
Thanks for reporting this, one of the affected buildings was the snowy shepherd house 1, which happens to be the only shepherd house that has the shepherd loot chest, making that loot (a bunch of blocks of wool) esentially unobtainable, we found this out trying to complete an advancement datapack that required fininding all loot chests in the game, and after searching several hundred snowy villages over more than a million blocks... yeah even if this was intentionally rare id consider it a bug, Im glad it got solved, thanks Agnes aswell <3
Heres where to find all the different kinds of villager loot in case you want to check this again taking that into consideration 🙂

Hi! Thanks for reporting this! The structures will actually spawn, but some are very rare. Big village structures are extra rare due to how the generation works. I have tweaked the weights for these structures so they should at least spawn a bit more often now.
The plains well bottom is an actual bug, there is another ticket for that so I will still close this ticket as "Cannot reproduce".
