After updating Minecraft Bedrock to the latest version on my iPad, all my existing worlds have become unplayable. When I try to load any world that was saved before the update, the game crashes during the loading process.
Steps to Reproduce:
Update Minecraft Bedrock to latest version on iPad
Try to load an existing world that was created before the update
Game crashes during world loading
If I load an older backup copy of the same world, it loads successfully the FIRST time only
After saving and exiting that world, any subsequent loading attempts cause immediate crashes
Expected Behavior:
Worlds should load normally and remain accessible after saving, as they did before the update.
Actual Behavior:
Pre-update worlds crash on loading
Older backup copies load once successfully, but crash on all subsequent loading attempts after being saved
Only worlds created AFTER the update work properly
The issue affects multiple different worlds and their backups
System Information:
Device: iPad [insert your model]
iOS Version: [insert your current iOS version]
Minecraft Version: Latest Bedrock version (after update)
World Storage: Local device storage
Additional Information:
I've already tried: clearing cache, restarting iPad, updating iOS, deleting/reinstalling Minecraft
The problem started immediately after the Minecraft update
Freshly created worlds work without issues
All affected worlds have modification dates from before the update
The worlds become "corrupted" after the first successful load and save in the new version

Hi I created the worlds 2 or 3 months ago. Today I could reproduce the issue with a world from February. Always the same behavior as described above. First time Icould load and enter the world. The next time, after saving it, it crashes when loading. I recorded it on video. How and where can I upload it?
