I have this world file that somehow generated the Nether inside of the Overworld. Why did this happen? I have tried opening up this world on an older update (where the Nether update didn’t exist) and it just instantly crashed Minecraft whenever I opened it.
The Nether rack looks old because I’m using an old Minecraft themed texture pack, not because I’m playing on the old version, because it simply crashed.

Minecraft only loaded the spawn point of the nether, to later render in the rest. Minecraft interpreted, as there was originally 1 dimension in earlier versions, that the nether was part of the overworld. it added the nbt (or data) of the nether (Or at least what it loaded) on top of the overworld's nbt. that is why it had the nether in the overworld! Also nice wallpaper. :D
3You could have merely added a Nether Biome to your World. It could very well be that that was the ONLY biome added.
