Behaviors packs don’t automatically disable achievements

I am visually impaired and use an older iPad that doesnt have render dragon or RTX so resource packs ands shaders like full bright doesn’t work for me, I recently did find a pack that gives you night vision and uses a behavior however it doesn’t help me play the game without shaming me and making me feel like I am cheating, when all it’s doing it’s making caving easier. Is there any way to fix this please? I want to play and earn achievements but I am kinda feel discouraged due to this feature blocking me.

    Thank you for pointing out this valid and quite serious accessibility issue. It is clear that in a conflict between achievement gatekeeping and accessibility, the latter should prevail 1000%. It is simple to turn achievements back on after having used creative mode. Worlds can be downloaded to make getting them easy on any platform. For someone intentionally trying to cheat, it is trivial, but for someone requiring add-ons for accessibility, you cannot reenable achievements without also removing your add-ons. 

    Minecraft for the most part allows players to choose how they play the game and what is important to them. Achievements add a sense of enjoyment and validation. It is shameful for this validation to be withheld for disabled people but not for cheaters.
