Do updates wipe servers?

If my friend and I have built a base, explored the world,and mined some mountains, will that all be gone when the new update comes? Will we have to start a new server? Or how will caves be added to mountains that are already generated and have been built on and mined? I haven't had Valheim long enough to go through a major update, so just wondering if I should keep making my base pretty or if it won't matter soon.

No, and there are ways to reset selected regions for the updated world generation, but you should keep multiple backups of your world state just in case, especially during major updates.

Nope, but explored zones will no have new things , only unexplored zoned of the map will be upgraded
So if you like to much your world/seed try to no explore too much after you beat or get in plains
Because will be screwed for the future
Making a new game or restart your seed

Or just wait a couple of days after the update for https://valheim.thunderstore.io/package/JereKuusela/Upgrade_World to react to the changes.
