Did I enable structures?

Did I enable structures? - White and Brown Wooden Dining Table Set

I've been playing in my Minecraft world (XBox One edition) for a couple of weeks now, and I've not found a village, stronghold, or abandoned mineshaft yet.

Yesterday, I explored (above ground, anyway) an entire map's worth of the world, and still couldn't find a village.

I'm now concerned that (somehow) I didn't enable structures when I initially generated the world, and that there aren't any villages, etc.. Is there any way to check?

Is actually normal.
Minecraft Bedrock edition has a different way to spawn entities and buildings.
It happens in Minecraft Java edition, too. So dont worry about it.

Try changing the seed of the world, sometimes it helps changing the "rarity" of the buildings spawn.
Maybe, check some seeds online for different worlds.

If you're searching a village for a survival world, create one world, and copy it. In one of the copies, look around in creative, so you know where the village is. Then, save coordinates somewhere, and in the survival world, search the village that you found, thanks to the coordinates.

    Generated Structures are randomly-generated features found throughout a Minecraft world. Generated structures can be found in many biomes, alternate dimensions, and can be either natural or manmade features. Some of these structures can be found by doing the /locate command using cheats on Java Edition.
