[MC-227787] There's no warning when you're about to open worlds from old versions

I believe this affects worlds from all previous versions, including older releases, snapshots, and pre-releases.

Ordinarily the game would warn you when you try to open an old world in a new version and ask if you're sure you want to update, but it doesn't. There's no exclamation point next to the play button, nor is there a screen to confirm your choice to update.

World upgrades to release versions is a supported feature.

While upgrading worlds to release versions is a supported feature, it would be nice to still get a prompt before you actually upgrade the world because it would save a lot of pain if you accidentally upgraded a world that you only play in 1.8 to 1.17. As there is no way to downgrade worlds, I would expect at least something preventing you from upgrading a world before you intend to.

edit: meant to put expect instead of except

Agreed with PrimePlatypus12

What would happen if worlds got corrupted when upgrading to 1.17?

Worlds we spend days, months or even years.
