I am trying to figure out the mechanics of new village. I opened creative mode on a random map, placed villagers, beds, and bells, and let them move by themselves. They are able to go to bed when the sky turns dark. There are also wandering traders and trader llamas.

However, when I use /locate village to locate the nearest village, it shows a location somewhere else, which is a naturally spawn village, instead of the closer "village" created by myself.
