Do you or a friend still have your old worlds saved? If so, what lengths would you go to revisit them in the modern versions of Minecraft?

I recently reconnected with one of my friends from school recently. He and I used to play the Xbox 360 Edition of Minecraft along with many other of our online circle, and one of the worlds we frequented happens to still be saved on my old system fortunately enough (I take great care with my systems and hard drive devices for archival sake of data.) Naturally, we discussed this topic while playing Halo: Reach, another game we bonded over throughout High School.
I mentioned this to him and both of us knew what needed to be done: we had to continue where we left off, as so many additions and updates had been released since we last played in 2013. With the Bedrock Edition's existence, I knew that it was possible to migrate your old worlds from the various editions that once populated the consoles (PS4, Xbox One, etc.) but not for the Legacy Editions that predated those. I attempted to convert the world manually through the use of Horizon & MCC Toolchest, however, player & chest data did not carry over. I looked all over the Xbox One Marketplace (Microsoft Store?) for a digital download for the Xbox One Edition, and unfortunately it had been discontinued.
I searched online for a physical copy, as none of the retailers locally or even private individuals had any for sale. Luckily, Amazon has online sellers that have them for a not-so modest price. You may have better luck if you ever need to convert your worlds to Bedrock, either from Xbox or Playstation, but ~$45 later with tax, I am close to revisiting a world that has not seen any player activity in almost 10 years.

It may have cost me more than I should have paid, but the reward in being able to continue such a great little world my friends and I shared is worth all the money and effort, and I hope many of you could say the same if you were in my shoes. If you have any similar experiences, I'd like to hear. Hope you didn't mind such a long nostalgia-hunting dump! sentiment_very_satisfied
