Hello. There's no village in maps. It's rare. And deserts, canyons, jungles.
Could'n be my note?

Since 1.7 deserts do seem to be quite rare. Every once in a while I will find a seed that spawns some, but most worlds you can fly around for 1000 blocks in every direction and not find a desert.
Villages have always been exceedingly rare. When you look at the spawn mechanics, it is pretty obvious why:
1) Villages can only spawn at certain locations based on the world seed
2) They can only spawn in plains and desert, and with deserts being nearly impossible to find, that rather limits the possible locations
3) The selected area that happens to fall in a plains must also be flat, or it won't spawn.
So as you can see, the stars must align perfectly to get a village to spawn, which is why it almost never happens.
You can see this fairly easily by creating a world in super flat creative mode and fly around. You will find a fair number of villages in super flat mode. Create the world with the same seed but not super flat, and virtually all of them go away since the site isn't flat. Instead of aborting the village spawn if the site isn't flat enough, it should be made flat.
I can't comment on your suggested fix, but I have been testing a number of village/villager bugs in 14w03x and above and the worlds are spawning villages. They are somewhat rarer due to the biome changes, but they do still spawn.

No, this is not a duplicate. This bug is about villages not spawning, not the disproportionate distribution of biomes.
Deserts? Rare? What? I find deserts in Skelacraft all the time. Jungles are rare, so are disco (mesa) canyons.
I'm not sure if I just had a run of bad luck or if that has changed in recent snapshots. I had created 2 or 3 worlds since 1.7 and didn't seem to find any, or hardly any deserts. I then created two new worlds in creative mode so I could fly around quickly and map a 1024 radius area and couldn't find any. Just forest after forest with some plains and occasional savanna mixed in. The last two or three survival worlds I created I had no problem finding some desert, though still, desert is the place I always find villages; never in plains.
What is your world seed?
