Hey guys! Today I'm going to talk about a little thing that has always annoyed me in Minecraft - version hopping.

Version hopping is when you go into a Minecraft world in a version, then going into that world in an older version - well, that's what I call it. This can affect your world a lot or a little. It's weird how it works. Sometimes it will do a few things, sometimes it will wipe out the entire world.

This is incredibly annoying, painful, saddening and infuriating, as this can destroy your world that you worked so hard on. I still don't understand why Minecraft can't have a warning like: You have played in this world on a newer version. Do you want to continue?

This has happened to me a few times. Often times, you forget what version you're on. Most of the time, this happens because I was on a server that required an older version. Then, I think, "Let's go play on a singleplayer world!" And you know what happens next.

This just happened to me. That's why I decided to talk about it. This time it wasn't too devastating. Every single sign had random quotation marks and occasional random numbers/letters. Also, all the chests were emptied. 1.8 items disappeared, as epected. All item frames dropped to the ground as well. I haven't found anything else yet. I'm probably going to have to give up on it, because it was an entire empire with signs everywhere.

I just really hope that Minecraft will have this feature soon. If you agree or liked this, please diamond. Thanks for reading! Have a great day.

My solution is keep 1.8 worlds separate from 1.7 worlds.

That feature would only exist in a new MC version. Why? Because that is when it gets implemented. So if you are on an older version, then that feature still doesn't exist. Good idea though.

Very good point! Maybe they could put a disclaimer by the version switching screen.

why would you want to go into an older version? And even if you are going into an older version i dont know what you would expect, thats the same with almost every other game that has updates/mods, skyrim is a perfect example, if you install a mod, play with it, then unintall it, then reinstall it, everything you did in the mod will be gone, because it was deleted from the game files. when you are playing an older version on a newer minecraft world, it deletes all the data that does not exist in that version. And i suppose they could make world backwards compatable, but whats the point in that? and i dont know a single person who would ever use it.

As I explained, sometimes you need to go to an older version to go on a server.

yes, but if you are just going on a server, why would you need cross version compatibility?

Well, first you start out playing on a world with a newer version, then you switch to go on a server that's older, then you go onto the original world, forgetting that you're on an older version.

well at that point its your fault though, it says the version at the top of the screen, in your f3 menue, on the title screen, as well as on your taskbar if you hover over the icon.
