Warning: Downgrading 

This feature uses downgrading which can result in crashes, data loss, or corruption, and requires specific versions. Follow the page instructions carefully.

Crashing and Corruption

Warning: Game Crash 

This feature can crash your game. Perform at your own risk.

Warning: Corruption 

This feature can corrupt your world. Perform at your own risk.

Downgrading has the potential to cause crash the game or corrupt the world, this is due to the nature of downgrading where the player goes from a newer version to an older version. This may occur because the game is unable to load blocks, items, mobs, etc. This may also cause the worlds files to become corrupted, and depending on the downgrade this may be guaranteed to happen when downgrading.

How to Avoid

If you want to avoid crashes or corruption (usually, some exclusions may apply) follow these general guidelines:

• Always, make at least one backup of the world in case of corruption or continued crashing.
• Remove all items from your inventory that didn't exist in the version you're downgrading to.
• Downgrade while in older chunks, or unimportant chunks if you don't have older chunks (may be necessary that they be old chunks if the world doesn't load).
• Turn the Render Distance all the way down in the settings before loading the world.
