Upgrading a Minecraft world's version until It breaks

Hey people
So today I decided to do another experiment...
As the title and thumbnail suggest I created a world in 1.0.0 and went up in versions stopping at every major one. (for example 1.0.0 to 1.1 to 1.2.1 to 1.3 to 1.4... and so on...)
What will happen to the world? Will the end still be beatable in the .. well end? How broken will the world be? What am I doing with my life?
Well.. we're about to find out.
Most of them
We'll find out about most of them
St0p scrolling and subscrib.

If you really want the world to be broken, I would recommend starting from the alpha versions

[@BypassFDP]

Thank you !

[@cactusblade5112]

And upgrade straight to 1.19 instead of going through all of them

[@BypassFDP]

@@cactusblade5112 less goo tysm

[@wariacix750]

Still works if you go from each version to each version. He'd have to skip some.

[@GlamStacheessnostalgialounge]

I always wonder why so many of these youtubers who do the "doing x to y minecraft version" always leave our alpha and beta, then I remember most of them probably started playing way after the 1.0.0 release and Beta ended in August 2011 and I'm way too old.

[@MrShourin]

I still have my alpha and beta worlds. Oldest being from alpha 1.1.2_01. Apart from chunk boarders from new terrain changes nothing happens. Not sure why people think this would break worlds. It was a legit fear back then. People thought that they would lose their alpha saves when beta was first coming out. And the same was true when full release was announced. But once the releases came people found that their save loaded normally. Sure some versions did have bugs that broke things. Like the dumpster fire that was the 1.14 update. Hermitcraft nearly lost their season 6 world. but that's why making backups was and still is a good idea.

[@itslikethis1830]

You can start a world from infdev and get a bedrockless world and when you update to 1.18 it will just be void no caves will generate below.

[@alphatwist2191]

i started a world from pre classic (old world edit to port worlds into others), and its really fun

[@Ryan-op7yd]

I'm actually doing that myself for a playthrough and I found out that there is no variance in ore types which means diamond veins generate the same way coal veins do

[@nvagn]

2:44 feels so nostalgic, the menu visible for a split second, the onload zoom effect, the fast chunk loading, no lag

[@hyxlo_]

Idk what you expect to happen because Minecraft updates are developed with updating worlds in mind

[@iamgold3nn]

Upgrading a minecraft world isn't a big deal , however if you really wanna see some funky results you gotta change the world to the versions that changed the region file format , I believe it's 3 of them , alpha , anvil and mcregion (the current one) , if anyone knows best just correct me

[@BigOlSmellyFlashlight]

mcregion was the 2nd one from beta to 1.2 and anvil is the current one

[@neonz2712]

9:15 I gotta admit that was a pretty nice transition.

[@KrisButWrong]

Thanks!

[@FastFizzi]

i’ve always wondered the opposite what happens if you down grade it, what would a acient city look like

[@joshuadavepunsalang9279]

Two words will be given to you: world corruption

[@FastFizzi]

@@joshuadavepunsalang9279 yeah that’s cool and it will look interesting

[@KrisButWrong]

I've actually done a video on that! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4fZf3yOg5V1eqc&ab_channel=KrisButWrong

[@FastFizzi]

@@KrisButWrong ooooh thanks bro about to watch :)

[@Zakattack285]

I see a great start to your KZbin career. Keep it up!

[@Boooo]

I feel like if you suddenly weren't able to bring an old world into a newer version there would've been riots, at least past release 1.0 this kind of thing was expected to work

[@nxsus]

when i saw your video, i thought you had at least 1k subs, you're so underrated keep it up man!

[@KrisButWrong]

Thanks!

[@acrawford01]

You should try updating to get the messed up chunk borders, and then going back down again and seeing if they fix themselves.

[@ZG1_YT]

I'm currently doing an upgrade starting from infdev, alpha, beta and going through ALL the snapshots and yup it a biiiitttt (lot) broken

[@jessethedev]

from infdev its ok, i think indev will probably break alot of things though

[@bobjoe3492]

​@jessethedev not when you include snapshots. There are a lot of very glitchy snapshots.

[@ZG1_YT]

@@bobjoe3492 yep my world had suffered from corruption a bunch of time but fortunately, I do backups of it. Currently I'm on 1.14.3 Pre-Release 4

[@triforcecreeper]

Bit late to this video, it being almost 2 years old, but I've been doing a similar concept to this but in the form of an actual long-term survival world. I complete a few goals for each version, depending on what the version added (1.0.0 was defeat the ender dragon, 1.2.1 was find a jungle biome and make a giant treehouse, etc.) along with abusing any useful glitches like melting ice to get water in the nether. I've been working on it for a bit over a year and I'm currently on 1.7.10 (I realised after 1.4.2 that I really should stop playing 1.x.0 versions and instead play 1.x.last versions) It is really cool to see how the world generation has changed, even within biomes, for example, the taiga changed from a cool biome to a snowy biome and back to a cool biome at which point the snowy taiga was added, causing there to be half-frozen taigas in my world, not to mention some 20-block-tall chunk borders. I really can't wait for 1.9, not even for the elytra but mostly just for shulkers and mending. Until 1.9, it really isn't worth it to get max enchantments on gear unless you have a villager breeder, and even then, it's rather tedious.

[@TheMiffinMan2]

I mean, ethoslab has been playing in the same world since beta 1.8 for his lets play. He did have to start a new world when he upgraded to beta 1.8 though

[@Cool_Kid95]

I loved the combat update man, “new” combat was a big improvement; and I’ll die on that hill. This is coming from someone who started on old combat.

[@niftyrobo]

Really a massive wasted opportunity not starting from Infdev or something

[@enderdude7]

One person took their superflat world from ps4 edition, to bedrock on ps4, to bedrock on pc, to java, his world is still playable, this world will not break.

[@germangarbagetrucks8646]

Why didnt you startet on an Alpha World and go though Beta and than the full Releases? Would be way more interesting

[@lenny8571]

I just got recommended this after randomly being recommended your laugh track video.... Your videos are really good and well edited! I'm genuinely surpirsed they don't have more views. But a combination of it being randomly being recommended, and your good quality, you'll take off in no time :D give me a shoutout when you hit 1milliion :P oh, and I subbed :D

[@NotKnafo]

check if anvil ui works after 1.13 try preplacing an anvil in 1.12

[@iyxxz_gd]

7:57 that render distance is crazy far

[@geo3106]

no it is not

[@folddyy]

render distance was MUCH farther back then, I swear you could actually see stuff on 12 chunks back then before the caves and cliffs update

[@gamergod3686]

WAY TO UNDERRATED YT UR THE BEST I BELEVE THAT ULL BE A FAMOUSS YT ONE DAY'

[@OrigamiAhsoka]

Chunk errors my beloved

[@HackerDragon9999]

Making a custom flat world in 1.17 lets you build under bedrock when you upgrade.

[@Valonix]

Bro your video is underrated :c

[@ricardofranco4114]

I have an xbox 360 world as my pc world. It had major changes between xbox 360 and xbox One. I built my house on the border of the 360 map, but the xbox One version allowed me to build further. Then I upgraded to the bedrock version, that fucked my world up. It changed the bioms, the u derground it added caves and shit. Totally destroyed my underground tunneling area. Then I put that world on pc, my pc got a virus, I had to reset it, and lost my world. 😅 I still got back ups of it tho7gh on xbox 360, xbox One Edition, and the BEDrock version. But each one is different, with different bioms and different underground caves... I no longer play the game. But it's nice to go back and admire my progress through the versions.

[@NotKnafo]

0:23 i can tell you took the footage on 1.0.0 because tigas dont have snow in this version

[@reidb6327]

Underrated great video

[@diamondzombie3781]

now you can try making a world in alpha and make ur way up to 1.19 then downgrading slowly back to alpha >:D

[@TrinityCodex]

it would be really bad if minecraft broke ur world if you upgraded to a newer version

[@Dep96]

i did this except with starting at infdev, and whenever a new tree type was added then some of the leaves on the oak trees at spawn would convert to the new tree type

[@brobeckskazooremixes8703]

IDK why you have so few views and subs bc like these videos are such high quality

[@Arix0n]

ive actually done something similiar i converted a world that was made in infdev all the way to 1.20.4

[@tatti1450]

bro you are so underrated mc youtuber

[@pomidorus9]

What texture pack did you use for 1.8????

[@Astrz10]

SO UNDERRATED. pls remember me at 100k!

[@aaronnoesoriginal]

1:33 are we gonna ignore that floating grass?

[@notnotiron]

I am pretty sure they spawn in the recent versions too

[@dgajtx1929]

The floating grass also generates in 1.16.5, near puddles

[@jelenasusic2914]

lol it already broke

[@CrimsonRose18]

This needs more views

[@weziak]

Now do it from the newest version to the oldest.

[@PiecesAnims]

Entertaining video 👍+1 Sub

[@KrisButWrong]

Thank you!

[@ashthewolfdog1380]

You should have put a counter to count how MANY friggen times you said the phrase "it works" in this video.

[@gabrielandy9272]

i did not watch the video, but i belive the world should not break because every new version that changed something big had code to patch you old world to the new version/format.

[@wardengamer374]

6:54 That's not a snapshot; that's the full release, Minecraft! Make up your mind!

[@ifritdiezel]

minecraft evo speedrun

[@burnforeverandever]

youd probably get more interesting results if you kept downgrading

[@Sharp22CatFish]

I tried doing this but when I got to 1.2.1 it loaded into the same word but with none of my Creations in it, except for my inventory.

[@Over0w0MeAmTheHotel]

Honestly 1.9 wasn’t that bad.

[@nickydarling5208]

great video : )

Thank you!

COOL .... Vlog!

[@Notheew]

Why r u so underrated

[@Someone69769]

That’s cool!

[@Onething6]

Why the comminity of minecraft say that the combat update is bad?

[@KrisButWrong]

Some people just prefer the old pvp. But I guess It's just the big change in how pvp works, the addition of shields, hit cooldowns, axes being more powerfull and stuff.

[@Onething6]

@@KrisButWrong but survival now its better in combat

[@reddit123]

you just got to yeat an aplha world to 1.20 to make it real weird

What about pre 1.0 versions?

[@KrisButWrong]

Might do It one day! But I doubt much will change.

[@Charlieizbored]

@@KrisButWrongtrust me a LOT changes

[@AridGnat...]

Yes, the 1.0 is a very stable release so, that newer versions were built on it.

[@after_mold]

You should have downgraded from current minecraft.(I'm the first person to think of this)

[@smpark12]

start from infdev

[@buzzy2127]

Lets Play "Minecaft"

how do i upgrade a mc world's version?

Do it from indev

1.8 texture pack lunar client

[@king_creeperz]

You should downgrade a world now and watch it crumble, if you can’t, use a server to downgrade it. Too many people have already done what you’ve done.
