NBT Data Editing on Bedrock Edition

On the Java edition of Minecraft, you are able to edit the NBT data of entities and blocks using commands, which allows for a lot more customization in maps than on Bedrock edition. It is possible to change NBT data on worlds and structures through the use of external editors, but I feel like it would be a lot more convenient if players could do it through the use of commands. The only NBT data we can edit on Bedrock edition is what blocks an item can be placed on, what blocks an item can break, and whether or not an item is locked in our inventory. In Java edition, you can edit a lot more things, such as an entity's velocity, the data of a falling block, and the time it takes for a primed TNT to explode. Things like that on Bedrock edition would be amazing in my opinion.

    I'm fully your opinion. I'm a Minecraft Bedrock Edition Addon developer and it would save a lot of time by simply do this in-game instead of using 3rd party external software which relies on the community. It would be also way more convenient by just having a build-in mechanic just like in java edition. Hopefully Mojang will ever listen to its community again instead of staying inside of their own bubble. this is a feature for what the community is waiting for years now.

    Yes. We finally need NBT in Bedrock. There are so many things that are harder to do because I cannot use NBT data. Things like making an unbreakable tool or summon/giving an item/mob attributes. It is one reason I don't like playing Bedrock.

    This would be incredibly useful for loads of different things. I'm trying to lock item frames and cetain things in my bedrock server and I literally don't know how else to do this without NBT data.
