I had a seed with some clay in it, deleted the world, and used the same seed for a new one. It has more clay in it. The clay I had is still there, as well; most elements of the world haven't changed. There are some differences, though.
so every time something else is added u need to start a new world? ....... whats the point in doing anything till the whole thing is updated :s
You'd only have to start new worlds when they fix bugs like this. Other bug fixes, such as monsters spawning in houses and game crashing on autosaves, those fixes are applied to worlds in progres. And when they add stuff like pistons, you'll be able to build those in your current worlds too. The only thing about clay is that you already built and saved your world, and the clay fix doesn't remap your entire world to add more clay. You already saved the world as is, so all the sand that should have been clay is now marked as sand, and the clay update doesn't add clay because the game no longer remembers that there was supposed to be clay there, it's sand permanently now.
I started a new world with the old school "gargamel" seed. The first thing I did was run around the outsid edges of the landmass looking for clay. I did indeed find a HUGE amount of it. Hope this helps.
Not many people like to follow up on there games now a days. Always complaints on one thing or another and 'better fix this! better fix that!'.
It was known long before this update even came out that clay would not generate in previously generated chunks of the world and very few people seemed to complain about it. Im going to hate to see these forums when new Biomes and structures come in.
To me personally, clay is not a big deal. Not worth starting a new world for on its own. I am going to continue expanding the creations in my world until the Adventure Update. It should bring in villages, mineshafts, a new biome (and some technical biomes), and rework the current biomes to make it a cleaner/better flowing map.
My advise... if you care about your current world then dont worry about the clay too much. All it really adds is brick blocks that has the same properties as a stone block. Continue your world until a major update comes and when it does lace your current world with tons of tnt, invite your friends over, and enjoy the fireworks. Dont forget to save! :D`
BTW, not only did I find clay in the unexplored part, I found some cactus for the first time too (not much, but some is better than nothing and I'm growing more).

Go figure.
Now, was it there before and I just didn't know it, or did it show up in the unexplored part after the update?
Don't know.

Keep yourself up to date with the Minecraft Forum rules!
That's what I'm saying. They better figure a way to fix it by the adventure update *crosses fingers*.
They can't. If worlds generated like the PC version does, they could. But the Xbox version generated the entire world at once.
