I've looked around for an answer to this question and there's been many different answers that I've come across and i was hoping for a quick and easy one, so maybe I'll get one here. Me and my friends have an existing world, version 1.7.9, if i update our server software to the latest snapshot, will we be able to keep all our stuff and also have access to the new stuff like granite and bunnies and all the other new stuff. Or, will we have to create a whole new world from scratch to experience these things.
If you upgrade your world from 1.7.9 to the newest 1.8 snapshot, the world that you have loaded so far (all the chunks you have visited or rendered) will remain with 1.7.9 blocks; new chunks generated in the snapshot outside that area will have the new blocks. However, all the new entities (bunnies, endermites, etc.) will spawn everywhere in the world, 1.8 or 1.7.9. All the items in inventories and chests will stay, unless you downgrade from the snapshot to 1.7.9.
You have probably heard this a lot, but I highly recommend backing up your world, as some snapshots (read: 14w26a) are very unstable and can corrupt your world beyond repair.
