These were all new structures introduced in the 1.8 update. On the PC, since the worlds are virtually endless, you can just travel around until you find one.
However, since the worlds in the Xbox version are limited in size, is there a chance that you could start a new world in 1.8 without it containing a ravine, stronghold, village, and/or mineshaft?
Or has 4J altered the code such that at least one of each would be guaranteed to spawn within the 64x64 chunks?
I can almost guarantee that each world will include Mine Shafts and Ravines though. They'll make your underground Swiss Cheese. NPC Villages have always been rare, even on the PC, so don't expect to see one. Same goes for Strongholds. Only 3 generate per map and that's in a 600 block radius around the spawn.
That almost sound disheartening... Hmmm... Would be nice if there was a option put in at generation to not include such into it. Like a check box for each. I am not really fond of ravines, doesn't mean i wouldn't mind having at least one map with one, but all of them like that... I would not like very much. However the NPC villages, Mine shafts, and Strongholds I am definitely looking forward to.

My First World, always getting back to is a pleasure I enjoy with each new update that brings in more things to add in.

With how small our worlds are, I'd say you'd see about 10-20 ravines per map. They don't always occur on the surface either. sometimes they happen completely underground.
Mine Shafts are much more annoying in my opinion. Each map will probably have dozens upon dozens of them. They will literally make the underground of your world swiss cheese.
All of those little black lines are Mine Shafts. Be prepared for that in the next update.

Well that looks promising to me. Still even 10-20 ravines would be a bit much for me... I have enough trouble with the vertical mineshafts that sometimes spawn. Still though as i have said just would be nice to select what goes into generation to some degree, especially villages hearing as they seem to be rare...O_o or well just long to find on the pc sometimes. I am hoping though that things will be simple to find, but not so frustrating to run across...

OP: I think they should make so no matter what, you'll get one of everything. Villages, Strongholds, Ravines etc.
