I am new to Minecraft. I have a pretty pathetic looking castle up to this point. Roughly 10 hours of play up to this point. For the new update, does it automatically download? Also does my world update or do I ahve to start a new one?

Updates automatically download if you're connected to the internet.

Not sure if your current world will automatically get the new update, since it adds about 6 new block-types, the hell dimension, and biomes (distinctly separate deserts, tundras, rain forests, beaches, regular forests, etc.).  It's going to change how the game randomly generates areas to make it much more diverse when you're exploring.  Also, you're going to be able to dig much deeper.  So I'm pretty sure you'll have to create a post-Halloween world for this update.  But smaller updates usually update your existing world just fine.  I think the torches are going to change to lamps in all our existing worlds though.

Take a screenshot of your pathetic looking castle!  Upload it here!  Then share it in this thread!  I want to see I want to see!
