Pre-1.17 WorldGen World Type

So what if you add a World type option called Old Gen, in which the world generates like Pre-1.17 worlds for bedrock players that want to play on an old version of minecraft. Bedrock players can't easily play on a different update like java players can so why not just make a world gen type that doesn't add the new caves and such because some people probably wont like it.

    some people "probably won't like" any of the updates, from the pretty scary update to the world of color to even the unneccesary bee one. 1.17 is not any different from the other 16 updates.

    I'd like this to be a feature for Java too! Just as we can select amplified, super flat, or custom for a world type, it would be fantastic to have an Old Gen world type so we can experience a bit of nostalgia in the future!

    I make Minecraft addons and I have a youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/NickMotions/videos 

    I was actually working on a new map and I stumbled upon a string called base_game_version in the MCTEMPLATE manifest.json

    basically it locks your world on an update, and if you set it to something like 1.16.5 or earlier you will get 1.16 world generation back. they kept the old world gen code so marketplace maps wouldn't get corrupted. but they could theoretically take the code and make a world type with it.

    This only exists in the bedrock edition. on java it will be different
