I'm playing on a realm with a customized world options (mainly larger biomes). I keep finding villages with no villagers and no chest in the blacksmith's shop. I have found several so far. Some villages are populated, but most aren't.

Seed and coordinates: 824663439851401040 at -1707, 1763. Biome size was 6. The other options I customized were just ore deposits and such, but I can get them to you if you'd like.
