Create subcategories / pages for Character Creator items to avoid FOMO

I have experimented with the issue with Character Creator item not showing again (thus being removed) after some time if I did not own, so I had to find one from third-party website, and when I accessed it from there, depending the availability of the item, if it wasn’t available in Character Creator menu, it showed a lock icon in an item however there was an “Apply” button, but when I pressed it, it can’t be applied (thus no action taken) I think this is a result of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) as I think it literally exploits those. I also think Mojang has to consider players that would buy it long later to avoid FOMO, some good for example, Minecraft Dungeons where it did not have FOMO contents. As FOMO content actually harms people more than good. However I know those from Minecraft Dungeons is all by Mojang themselves wheres most Minecraft Character Creator items are uploaded by creators in Marketplace and there will be too many if everything was put up again. But these items do cache to the device until the player deletes it so why add a way to exploit FOMO in the first place? As these could have resulted in outside-use and even piracy. IMO, Adding subcategories for specific item or pages to load another contents would be good idea, as players can then find for specific item they want, additionally, I want the developers to update the rules regarding Character Creator so FOMO would not be exploited.

    I forgot another idea that Minecraft has put in Marketplace but not in Character Creator, the search bar, as this would be both easy for developers and user. And never give ability to make it non-purchase-able when it was hidden, as it never makes sense other than copyright violation and geolocation restrictions due to laws.

    Both search and pages are added in recent versions, but previously added items that are removed now (the root of FOMO) don't seem to have their permanent rerun.
