On the Xbox 360,when the update comes will we need to start a new world? Like. Say I'm building in my current world, when the update comes will villagers,mineshafts, etc be added to that world? Or will I be forced to make a new one? I'd like to remain in my current world, I have so many things built and so many supplies gathered, but if I will have to make a new one I'd like to know ahead of time :/
You will if you have already explored the entire map and want NPCs.
I have explored very little within my world atm. Not even half of it, I hope thats ok 8| I mean I have no problem with starting a new world, i'd just like to keep all my current things Lawl.

Explored means "walked through the chunk" in this case. So just be sure that you haven't gone into your unexplored areas at all - not on the surface or under it. When you go into an area, the chunk for that area is generated from bedrock right up through the sky limit; so if you've mined underneath a part of the map, the surface chunk is also generated in the file at the same time, even if you've never seen the surface.
Also, it's a crap shoot as to what you'll get in your unexplored areas. It may just be regular old oak forest or a body of water. There are no guarantees that the system will generate specifically what you're missing in that spot. It will just put into that area whatever it would have put there if that seed was generated entirely after the update. The system can't think - "oh, this person doesn't have a strongehold yet, so I'll put one in this chunk they haven't yet explored."
