{{About|the world options, and does not cover world creation|world creation|Create New World|the internal game settings|Game rule}}
The '''world options''' are options to manage a world. Internal world settings are handled by [[game rule]]s.
== ''Java Edition'' ==
[[File:Edit World JE-1.20.1.png|alt=A world's edit screen.|thumb|A [[world]]'s edit screen.]]
A player can click on a world to select it, and thereby access the options of it. Then, some options appear at the bottom of the screen.
There are a total of 9 operations that can be performed from the world options, some of which are contained within the "Edit World" screen.

Example: <code>2020-12-24_13-32-00_My World.zip</code>. This is the world called "My World", it was made on December 24, 2020, at time 13:32 (1:32 PM). The world folder name is the ''original'' name of the world given at world creation, not the display name.
|-
|{{Btn|Open Backups Folder}}
|Opens <code>.minecraft/backups/</code>.
|-
|{{Btn|Optimize World}}
|Opens a screen to upgrade the level data of the world to the latest format. Once a world world is optimized, it is no longer compatible with previous level formats. There are four options:
* "Erase Cached Data" erases data like light levels and biome data, which must then be regenerated.
* {{btn|Create Backup and Load}} creates a backup to <code>.minecraft/backups/</code> and then begin the optimization process.
* {{btn|I know what I'm doing!}} begins the optimization process without making a backup.
* {{btn|Cancel}} cancels the optimization process.
After clicking either of the buttons, the optimization process begins. [[Chunk|Chunks]] generated in [[Java Edition 1.19|1.19]] or later are skipped, as they use the current format. The rest of the chunks are reformatted.
