Teh mine isn't always empty, I've been on there a lot working on my Helm's Deep project oop norf, and flattening out a desert for my next project.
I could do with having some more bones in the spawn boxes, there were none left when I joined, and I feel like the only person without a doggy sat in their house.
(Maybe some eyes of ender too, I'm curious to see if teh server generated any strongholds in the new terrain.)

You should clearly be able to see the huge square of the village. So build around -110, -396 or something
There's hunger in survival (2012 world), because that's the point of it.
I've no idea if it applies in the old semi-creative world because I haven't been back there.
Food is easy to farm though, even if it is.
