The game said it was loaded but nothing appeared.
Expected Result
The feature would be properly placed or the error message "Failed to place feature" would come up.

Can confirm in 22w18a. The "/placefeature" command was removed and replaced with the "/place" command in 22w18a, so here are the new commands required in order to reproduce this issue.
/place feature minecraft:fossil_coal ~ ~ ~/place feature minecraft:fossil_diamonds ~ ~ ~
The game actually does generate the fossil/diamond ore. It creates ghost blocks of the fossil, meaning if you right click where the blocks of the feature would have been (pretty sure relogging also works but I can't confirm) then they appear. Perhaps it is best to change this ticket to be about how it creates ghost blocks rather than not generating at all. Another thing to note is that diamond ore blobs (likely other ore blobs too) are also affected by this issue.
