In-game Content Creator

Mods have always been an important part of the Minecraft community. However, it can be risky to download mods as they could contain viruses, and mods aren't available for Bedrock players. Adding an easy content creator into the base game could be a great way to improve mods. Creators could design textures for items, blocks, and mobs in the content creator, create scripts and properties using drag-and-drop, or a similar method of coding without having to type long, complicated scripts, and maybe even create 3D models and animations. Example 1: A player could design a new sword, enter its attack damage and cooldown, and use a crafting table-like interface to choose how it could be crafted, inserting items from the base game or items they have previously created, and choosing their position on the crafting table. If they want it to be found, they could choose what mob drops it/what biome/structure it is found in. Example 2: A player could use the content creator to design a 3D model for a mob, or use one of the game's existing models, mark which part of the model is the head, the arms, etc. (For animation purposes) and draw a texture onto the model. They could use a script editor to select its walking speed, health, damage, etc. They could choose where it's found. Example 3: A player could design a block, either a full-block or a flower-like block, draw the texture and choose properties. Mods/textures/skins made in the content creator could possible be sold on the marketplace.

  (More ideas I couldn't fit into the original post) Custom biome creator: Players could select the blocks/mobs/fogs/structures etc. that they want in their biome. They could also choose the rarity and size of their biome, and customize the biome's terrain generation.
  Custom structure builder: Players could use the content creator to build custom structures using existing or custom blocks and mobs, create loot tables for chests, choose the structure's rarity and what biomes it is found in, and build variations for the structure.
  Character content creator: The content creator could be used to make classic skins with custom geometry or parts like hair and clothing to be used while creating their character.
  UI designer: Players could create UI for their custom blocks, mobs, or items, (Examples: a kind of furnace/crafting interface or a villager-like trading interface). Players could design their UI by assembling "ui parts", such as item slots, a player model (like the one in the inventory), buttons, or other visuals, like the flame icon in the furnace UI, the xp bar in the trade UI, or the craftable blocks in the stonecutter UI. Players could also use the scripting system to choose what interacting with certain parts will do (Examples: crafting, smelting, enchanting)
  Sound editor: Players could select sounds from the base game, record, or import their own sounds, and edit them to use while creating.
  Miscellanious ideas: Custom block geometry, liquid block creator, effect creator
