Zombie/Abandoned Villages spawn 10x too much

Since the Beta I've noticed a LOT more zombie villages!

What is the spawn rate compared to regular villages? It seems like zombie villages spawn more than normal ones now...

Found three, possibly four, near spawn in this seed but only one regular village - 1729407220

Thanks!

Hey bro, why don't you try out other seeds in order to make sure this problem persists?

I've tried numerous seeds on Bedrock. Official Minecraft Wiki suggests there is only 25 to 30% chance of them spawning, but in all the seeds almost 70% of the villages spawned are zombie villages. So much for the rare structures. It is super hard to get a hold of a villager from far far away.

That’s why zombie villages generate significantly more in Bedrock.

This is the village generation for the provided seed 1729407220; pink indicates abandoned/zombie villages. (from chunkbase.com)

This is the village generation for Java edition (on the same seed because I couldn't be bothered to change it. Village generation differs in Java anyway).

It can be concluded that abandoned villages spawn far more often on Bedrock than on Java. In the images provided it is ~24% on Bedrock and ~2.6% in Java - estimates used number of pixels of pink colour and all the other colours.
Saying it is 70% is not accurate as the sample size is too small - multiple abandoned villages can sometimes generate in close proximity as a result of the high chances of them generating thus skewing the number up.

Thank you i thought i was going mad because no one was talking about this. though it wasn't a really professional test, more out of curiosity i tried over about 15 seeds and i found that nearly half of the villages were abandoned, not really a proper test though also i did this a few months ago so it may not be valid to the beta.

I definitely agree! It seems like zombified villages are much more common than regular villages!

They should at least reduce it to 5 - 10%, 30% is way too common

I can confirm in the release of 1.17 on bedrock sadly, I hope this is fixed!
