Add a "Close current world" checkbox (when joining worlds)
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
According to the same promo video that led to me opening 2 previous feature requests, new users usually don't know that they keep hosting worlds after leaving them, which decreases performance, especially on less modern CPUs.
I don't think it's very intuitive for new users to close a world before opening another one.
Describe the solution you'd like
A checkbox or another button that lets the user close the world they're in as they join another one.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Remembering to manually close previous worlds (but new users don't even know they need to).
Additional Context
By the way, when you want to host a world, the button says Join. Join what? You're hosting it on your own PC. That's a separate issue, but I'm not sure what to call it. A bug? A feature request to make it say Host when hosting? A content issue with the UI?

I think the main issue here is that new users don't understand the mechanism of multiple worlds open at the same time, because it's not communicated well. I remember there was a plan to create a default "worlds you're in" facet. If this was present, it would streamline closing background worlds and also make the mechanism more visible in the first place.
I'm not sure if this option would still be necessary then.
This and the other issues mostly stem from the word browser needing to be reworked. One major isssue is it’s very unclear to someone new that those worlds are even open and closing them is a process that involves several steps that aren’t immediately obvious
i think this would be a nice feature regardless of whether it helps new players or not. i try to only have 1 world open for performance, so a way to "join and close current world" would be convenient. but its not a necessity, just would make it a bit less clunky.
