Minecraft: are only new areas randomly generated and places you've already been stay the same?

In minecraft, if you leave an area and come back to it will it have changed, randomly generated to something else? Or does the game "save" the places you have already been so they stay the same and only randomly generate new locations?

Answers:

Every place where you have been remains unchanged. If you keep going then minecraft will generate new areas. If you come back to your previous area, you will see that it is unchanged.

It will stay the same. Randomly generated just means that every new save you have will be a new level seed. (using f3 you can see what seed it is) .and that seed will randomly generate everything but once it is all generated it doesnt change unless you change it specifically...

Everywhere you have been, stays the same. LIke if you wanted a mod that added villages, then they wouldn't spawn in the places you have been before because they have already been generated.
