I went back to 25b after encountering too many problems
What I expected to happen to find my world the way I left it when last logging out
What actually happened was I "got set back a couple of weeks progress wise". for example: the whole storage room I basicly finished building was half gone and whole areas needed redoing.
When I went to 26a again, it was as it was again.

Minecraft is not created to work with older versions. You should never open a world with a lower version than before. And always, make a backup for snapshots 😉
