Hello,
I wanted to try out the old, buggy beta versions of minecraft, but I'm aware that corruption is a huge issue. I'll back up all of my saves and switch back to the backed-up saves after I do this, but I was wondering if it had any other potentially harmful side effects? Thanks
Worst you're going to maybe find in the older versions, especially before they introduced Anvil world generation, are "world holes," giant chunks that haven't been loaded in. More common in Alpha than it was in Beta though you'll still find them. Other than that, there's really not many bugs unless you're specifically looking to trigger a couple of obvious ones (like if you hold a movement key while opening a chest in Alpha, your character will retain the movement, can be fixed by opening inventory again)

I don't have anything to put here .-.
Just create a new profile in the launcher and give it a different Game Directory to keep your worlds separate.
It's never a good idea to mix versions.
Just testing.
Alrighty, thanks

That still happens now, but it's super rare.
my favorite minecraft version is the first ever one
