Why does my world seem to be getting smaller?

My buildings are all disappearing - almost like my world has gotten smaller. I’m on Minecraft PE, and my world is on the old settings. I know that it’s not deleted because I can still see signs, beds and chests in the missing chunk, and animals can still enter the area, but if I go into it I can never get out and it just looks as if I had flown up in the air high enough were it’s just sky and clouds.
How can I fix this issue and what is it caused by?

These are probably in the same shape as the "chunks" in your world, and typically form when a chunk has been loaded incorrectly or corrupted. As animals can still enter it it's probably just an error loading your world.

Restarting your world should work (as in either restarting the server it's hosted on, or restarting your game). If you're playing with your cousins see if they can see the issue too. If all of you can not go into the areas it may be that that chunk is corrupted and you may have to restore a backup (if you have one).

I have found a solution. If you create a copy, then make it infinite, it will load the chunks. Unfortunately, you no longer have an old world.

Well this has happened before to me and a couple of my fave YouTubers idk why but because this is an old world it just seems to corrupt the world for some reason. Basically your builds haven’t been deleted they have just strangely turned invisible, so the AI mobs still think it is there. Strangely signs and things show up but all this is, is some sort of weird world corruption glitch.

Try to update your minecraft or reset your nether that should help
