I Purge all non active chunks by hand in every update so that new content can spawn EVERYWHERE and no one looses their lovely builds, so you might notice some new biomes nearby and given the inherent retrogen there should be new caves below you as well. Your builds are safe with us :) I built a small client side modpack to accompany the server that can be used on any vanilla client: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/sanctuary-enhanced Sanctuary Enhanced is a Performance enhancement, GUI personalization, and information display oriented client side pack designed for easy use on any vanilla server without giving the player the unfair advantages of using hack clients. At its base minecraft is missing alot of useful information I think should be available to players such as crafting recipes, enchantment and effect descriptions, and mob stats, so I've compiled a list of the mods I use for vanilla to make my life and teaching the game to new people a little easier. Not your speed? try one of my modpacks or servers: www.curseforge.com/members/sweet_lil_trinket/projects
