  2. From the World Select menu, choose the world you want to change, and then click on the ‘Change World Settings’ button at the bottom of your screen.

Will You Lose Old Save if You Create a New World?

No, even after creating a new world, you won't lose the stored file from your previous one. If you don't select the Delete World option from the World Select menu, your previous progress save file will still be accessible. You can access both worlds whenever you want or progress simultaneously.

However, you can keep a backup of your progress to be safe. For this, you must keep a backup of the Save File Location, which can be accessed by clicking the World’s name and then the Folder icon at the bottom left of your screen.
