      This is a new ticket to re-raise MC-1920008 which was not resolved properly and I can't reopen.

      If a 1.15.2 server is started using data from a 1.16.1 world it will attempt to load the data and overwrite it, corrupting it in the process. I assume 1.16.1 continues with this buggy behaviour from 1.15.2.

      I expect that the server should detect that it is attempting to open a world that it is incompatible with and refuse to start while displaying a helpful error message to the user.

      Please note that, contrary to the misunderstanding on MC-192008, I am not suggesting that Minecraft server should support downgrading. I'm saying it should completely refuse to attempt to load an incompatible world instead of proceeding to load it and corrupting it.
