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!

How do you make worlds like these
I want to make a world with old mcpe generation (before 1.0)

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.

Hey there, sorry for the extremely late reply, and thank you for the extremely detailed comment! It really is a mystery on how this whole thing works, and unfortunately I don't have any information, but I'd definitely be willing to dive in to find out the differences in the world files of an old world and an infinite world! I didn't know about the textures and sounds things, only the general generation of terrain and such. If I had to throw a random guess out there... Hmm, well you know how when updating an old world in 1.18, you would get that popup offering to create a backup, well that popup never actually appears even when selecting the infinite version of the old world, so it probably still is quite literally generating as if it were in 1.17.
