So as you know there are updates to Minecraft Xbox 360 edition. I was just wondering if my seed generation will be updated too or would I have to start a new world/seed. I also am pretty sure the PC version does the same thing.
I also wonder if it would update if it is unexplored on my map?
It is possible that unexplored areas will update properly if they remain unexplored. However, this is something that can really only be confirmed by 4J. As far as I know, they haven't commented on it.
Quick edit: I know it updates properly on the PC, but being that our worlds are so small and finite, there may be some more generating than we actually see. Hard to tell, though. Maybe someone knows more about 4J's methods.
Updates do get applies to unexplored areas, though I am not sure what they plan to do with old worlds since terrain generation changes in 1.8. I assume it should still be fine though.

Words cannot express how much I hate to be "that guy," but may I please see where 4J mentioned that it would work like this on the Xbox version? I know it's expected for it to work properly, and I'm definitely not saying I don't believe you, but I'd really like to see it for myself as a definite assurance.

By all means, feel free to ask for proof. This is what I was basing my comment on: http://twitter.com/4JStudios/status/217370539566698496
The clay update applied to unexplored areas. I assume it will also work when 1.8.2 comes out, but as stated, I am not entirely sure since terrain generation changes.

Glad I didn't offend Definitely see what you mean though. Man, assuming that unexplored areas do go with the new terrain generation (which, you're probably right, it will) there are going to be some funky worlds.
Alright thanks for commenting! I hope they expand the world a little so that those people with something like a city don't have to restart and make a new world just to get something like the adventure update!
How does the world determine "unexplored" areas, because I have build structures in parts of my world that appear uncovered on my in game handheld map... I have obviously been there before if I built there!!

Unexplored areas would just be areas the terrain hasn't generated. If your map isn't showing areas that you have already been in, then it would be very hard to determine where land has and hasn't been generated. I haven't had that issue with the map, I had one on me when exploring my land so I was able to tell what was generated and what wasn't.

All answers will we appreciated!
