Opening a 1.12.2 world in 18w44a or newer causes terrain to regenerate
Opening a 1.12.2 world in the 18w44a snapshot causes the terrain to be regenerated, replacing already existing blocks (placed by player). This is how the world is supposed to look (screenshoted in 1.13.2):

And this is the world in 18w44a (loaded from a backup saved in 1.12.2):

Opening the world in 18w44a caused a crash before the world was loaded the first time:

And a second crash occurred after loading the world again, after a few seconds in game with the same cause
//EDIT 01.11.2018
A download of the world can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wrk5j2y5q92kh4t/World-1-12-2.zip
Note: Unnecessary chunks (chunks not near to the world spawn) have been removed with MCEdit.
The issue occured exactly as described above with the pruned world available for download, when loading it directly in 18w44a.
