As the title says, when you downgrade a world from 26.3 Snapshot 7 to 26.3 Snapshot 3, the existing chunks that loaded in Snapshot 7 are removed, leading to mobs falling into the void and weird light glitches on blocks. This can be explained via screenshots I took in-game and on Mineways.
Steps to recreate this issue:
Create a world in Snapshot 7
Close the world
Open Minecraft 26.3 Snapshot 3
Open the world in that version (Press “I know what I’m doing” when it says you’re downgrading a world)
Expected Result:
Nothing happens, and your world will remain normal
Actual Result:
All loaded chunks disappear, leading to overworld mobs that spawned falling. Using the setblock command can place a block, but the lighting would be glitched on the sides.
Images:
I have highlighted with a pink outline the loaded chunks that are gone after downgrading the world. The Ancient city was placed with commands
