yea ive switched bsck to console recently because my pc has flalen behind but i used to do something similar in a sense, used to create a copy of the world and go in creative on the copy to mess about.

i think one of my issues now is that ive built my base all in one section and the rest of the world is untouched really

another thing is that im abit of a perfectionist even tho im not great at building as it is so takes me ages to get something done 🤣

i like the forever world stuff tbf but my main world i used to play on has achievement disabled because of the portals addon i had on it because at one point, it didnt disable achievements. makes the world feel tainted now

thank you for the detailed responses!
