50 "Old" Worlds! [Old World Type]

If you're unaware, the "Old" Minecraft World generation type in Bedrock Edition was removed with the launch of 1.18! I have generated 50 Old Worlds for you to download and use!

Hi, I'm not sure if you'll see this, but after importing one of the Old Worlds into 1.20.40, as you mentioned after making it infinite the rest of the world generates as though it is in 1.17.
I found this incredibly interesting, as I would only imagine that this could occur if the old terrain generation code was still in the game somehow.
Upon further investigation, not only the world generation matches 1.17, but the world itself functions as though it were actually in 1.17. New blocks and items, mobs and even textures and sounds that have been added and updated since 1.17 are not available in the world.
This is quite insane to be honest, as I simply can't understand how this is possible. That a world loaded in 1.20.40 could generate and also function like a world in 1.17.
I thought I'd leave this comment in case you have any more information about this as I'm really intrigued by this.
