Possible complications coming along with the new snapshots

So yeah. The title of this post pretty much explains it all what I am about to discuss here. So it seems that my world has not taken the most recent snapshots released to the game all too kindly to say the least. I've been facing a whole host of challenges and difficulties in my world which has arisen after I have updated to the most recent snapshots. And yes, I can already hear you saying that this is what happens when I update my world with experimental snapshots. Because as stated by Mojang, they can corrupt my world, and as we can remember from videos made by youtubers such as GoodTimesWithScar who have played the game since Minecraft was first released, worlds can and will experience difficulties when faced with new snapshots. But still, some of these difficulties are rather annoying and not really easy to understand. The main issue I have been having with the most recent snapshots in my world these days is the fact that for one blocks have disappeared from some of my builds. Granted this could just be a side affect of updating with snapshots, as the same thing has happened before, but with the snapshots now this problem has been much bigger and more rife than it has been with snapshots in the past. And it is not cosmetic blocks that are affected. Redstone seems to be affected by the snapshot as well. Because I have experienced redstone dust that keeps signalling a redstone signal, even minutes after the source of the signal has been cut. The most notable example is the redstone lamps that can be seen in the screenshot below. These redstone lamps keep lighting up, even though I have deactivated the switch that supplies them with the redstone power they need to operate. But for what the gods know, this could just be a mistake on my side, because to be honest, I have no longer any control over my electricity system anylonger because of how much time has passed since I started building it, so there could be loops in the system that keeps sending the signal in circles, which again is transferred to the redstone lamps. I'm not gonna bother trying to figure out what is causing this, but it is still annoying, as I HATE seeing my builds getting destroyed because of something as simple as an update.

But broken blocks I can handle. They can be replaced and broken builds can be repaired manually when I get the time and the will to do so. The main problem I have about the most recent snapshot is that it has apparently affected the breeding habats of villagers, to the point where the villagers in my iron farm is no longer breeding properly. I am not sure what could be causing this though, so I will have to do some more research into the matters before I can draw any conclusions as to what is causing this. I will update on my blog as soon as I find something about this. At the moment though, I spend most of my time ingame extending my transportation system ever further into my remaining AMPLIFIED sectors, so I have not really been able to check out what could be causing my villagers to stop breeding. The only real way to find out if it is just something temporary or something more serious, is to simply leave the PC running overnight with the villagers and their chunks loaded. Which I will probably end up doing.

I will post more updates when I have found out more about this subject.
