Locking your Minecraft world on a specific version

So I had an idea where there should be a feature where you can lock any of your worlds on a preferred Minecraft version.

Like, for example, you want a Minecraft world only set for 1.20.4 so you can still obtain like custom heads through the one command that Mojang unfortunately changed in the next update, or you accidentally clicked on it in a newer version and now going back to that older version you once played it on will have all of your chests empty and armor on armor stands removed, and you'll unfortunately have to say goodbye to those hard-earned diamonds and netherite.

To lock your world, you will have to go into "Edit" for one of your worlds and click "Lock Into Version", kinda like locking your difficulty, except with worlds, then you can only use that world on the version you locked it on. And if you want to change the version, you'll have to go into your world file and click on a Notepad file and change it there to a recognizable version. Note that it won't work on VERY old versions of Minecraft, like 1.0.

So yeah, just an idea I had. Probably won't come true, but I just think it might come in handy.

    This would be very useful for adventure maps, in order to prevent people from loading them in the wrong version. Especially now, where even minor version updates break command syntax in most versions.
