Haven't played in awhile. Should I use my old world or start a new one?

Ive barely played in the last 2 or so years. I haven't really played since the new crafting menu came out, or they changed the recipe for cobblestones (I put so much time into crafting cobblestones, seems a lot less time consuming now). My question is, is there anything I'd be missing out on by not creating a new world, or would all changes be retrofitted? It's only 100 days or so, not exactly a megabase, so I wouldn't mind restarting that much. Sometimes that first year is the most fun part.

World Generation is absolutely bonkers on old worlds when new updates come out (at least on Xbox it is not sure about PlayStation or PC) I can estimate that it’s because of Console worlds sizes being Smaller than PC versions that may be the cause for it if they aren’t Equally screwed up but.. just encase you have any doubts-

And people wonder why my game worlds usually only last about 300 game days before I delete them and start new ones.. it’s largely due to each new update making Retro-Fitting New Content into Old worlds go Bonkers.

I totally agree with Mike. Retrofitting doesn't always go well, and besides, if you haven't played in 2 years, you should start a new world to experience all the new content.
