	'''Old''' is a deprecated [[Minecraft:world type]] exclusive to {{el\|be}} and {{el\|ee}}. The purpose of this world type was to provide smaller worlds on older or low-end devices that did not perform well with [[Minecraft:World type#Infinite\|infinite worlds]], but they have been made inaccessible in [[Minecraft:Bedrock Edition 1.18.0\|1.18.0]]. Old worlds created before that version still exist, and can also be created with external programs.		'''Old''' is a deprecated [[Minecraft:world type]] exclusive to {{el\|be}} and {{el\|ee}}.

	The center of the world ~~iss~~ rarely at 0,0, meaning the game finds a valid spawn point, then it limits the world to 256×256 around that point, so the center of the world is the coordinate of that spawn point. It is possible, through NBT editing, to move the center of an old-world to another area in the seed.
