LegacyWorldBorder 256x
by bushman59
LegacyWorldBorder sets the world border to 256 by 256 blocks, the size of the world in the old Pocket Edition, through a data pack.
What it does
Once the data pack loads, the world border is fixed at a square 256 by 256 blocks. The border stays at that size until the worldborder command changes it, and it returns to 256 by 256 each time the world is reloaded. Removing the data pack, or the datapacks or mods folder entry, is the way to undo the change. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack, all for 26.2. Only the server needs it, and players may leave it out. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Fixed 256 by 256 border
The world border is set to a square of 256 by 256 blocks, matching the size of the old Pocket Edition world.
Border resets on reload
The 256 by 256 size is applied again whenever the world is reloaded, so a manual worldborder change does not last.

This simple data pack moves the world border to a challenging 256x256 square, matching the old pocket edition world size. Once loaded, the world border will not change size unless you call the /worldborder command. The world border resets to 256x256 each time you reload the world.
