Well, I have an old 1.2.5 MineCraft world (April 2012), and I was wondering if there was a way to load it into 1.8.4, without Chunk Corruption. For example, I thought I once heard something about loading a World in specific versions one at a time; and "building up" to the newest one. Is something like that possible? Or would I have to resort to MCEdit?
...Or am I really just overthinking this, and I can simply open it in 1.8.4 without issues?
I figured I should ask before I do anything I'll regret. Of course I could just back it up, and try for myself... but I'd rather get some actual facts from people who know what they're talking about. I did search google beforehand, with multiple variations of my question, but it turned up pretty empty. It seems as if I am alone in asking this question.

• 48GB DDR4 @2133MHz
• GTX 1080 Ti
• 256GB NVMe SSD
• 5TB in 7200RPM HDDs
It's best if you tried to upgrade one update at a time, not many people have kept a save that long I don't think. From my experience upgrading map it usually only causes an ugly drop in terrain on newly generated chunks.

Okay. I'll go ahead and get started on that long, arduous journey lol.
And yeah, I honestly don't mind if there are "cut-offs" like that in the terrain. My only worry was actual data corruption that might cause me to lose sections of the world.
Thank you for responding.

Yes the terrain change from new generators look most time ugly.
With littel bit work with MC-Edit and Mcmerge most time the worlds looking good enave to hold on for a long time.
