the only weird thing that will happen is that when you explore new chunks they won't blend together with the old ones because of the changes to the terrain generator
when beta 1.8 comes will it screw up our maps from 1.7.3?
because that would be a waste cause i made all these creations including a giant statue of me and i dont wanna lose it all :''(
please give me awnsers to my question...
will it screw up my game?or will it do nothing?
You have two choices:
Keep your old world and generate new chunks. This will lead to some funky terrain generation along the borders of your old chunks, but other than that, new territory will be generated with the new generator and old territory will remain exactly as it was before
Delete your map and start again. Yeah, maybe you will lose a bit, but you will probably build things that are a lot better in your new world than you did in your old one. I know I am not planning on having my city, which I spent a few hundred hours building on my vanilla SMP server copied over to our new map for just this reason.
Finally; the game is still in beta you should avoid getting too attached to everything you have built.
