Why old versions can break your worlds

An old build may not open a world made in a newer version, and add-ons made for newer versions may not load. Realms may also refuse an old build, so you may not be able to join a Realm world until you update. Make a copy of your worlds before you switch, so you can put them back if the old build will not open them.
