Let Us Load 1.17.1 Worlds in 1.18

When I tested out the new snapshot for Minecraft, Java Edition, it wouldn't let me load or even optimize my old worlds. Instead, Mojang should work towards allowing you to optimize your old worlds to 1.18. They could do this by allowing the new terrain generation to only affect chunks that haven't been loaded yet (like new features, ores, etc., have worked in past updates). Also, even if they can't get the new world height to only work in new chunks, I have nothing against being able to go into creative mode and build underneath bedrock in my old worlds. To be honest, it would be really cool.

  Please don't worry, they have a plan to do that. You won't be left out. I mean, LadyAgnes won't be happy if she can't open her literal ten year old world, would she? Also, they are going to limit new generation to new chunks, though I don't think that includes world height. World height is independent from generation for the matter of building at least.
