Converting world into latest version
So for a server, I've generated a world (pregenerated r=8000) blocks with the 1.12 biome bundle mod (adds no new blocks, just makes world gen better), and I want to get that generated world into the latest version of Minecraft. At first, I just tried to load a copy of the world in 1.15 however this froze my client and never appeared to do anything. Out of curiosity, I loaded another copy in vanilla 1.12, which loaded and appeared to have all the chunks as they were in the modded version. I then attempted to load this in 1.15, which loaded, however, chunks which had not been generated by me in the vanilla 1.12 version were resetting back to vanilla generation. My next two attempts involved copypasting the region files of the world into a 1.15 world and another attempt involved using NBTExplorer to change the version in the game file, both of which resulted in a dozen or so chunks squared around the player working as intended, and all other chunks using vanilla generation. Does anybody have any clue how I can get this to work?

Hey there, I believe that the problem here lies in the fact that the 1.12 Biome Bundle Mod is what generates the chunks, not the seed. Since the unloaded chunks of your world had not been loaded by the 1.12 Biome Bundle Mod, the vanilla way of creating chunks in Minecraft took over. You will likely have to wait for the 1.15 version of the Biome Bundle Mod to release in order to load chunks like you were in 1.12.

I'd get the seed of the world, then use that to regenerate your world. Seems like your best option here.

Only generated modded chunks will be converted - new chunks will follow vanilla world generation algorithm.
Also instead of running the world from 1.12 in 1.15 - open it in 1.13 and then in 1.14 first, so the world should smoothly convert without any issues.
