Stop disabling achievements when using mods

I have played mincraft for many years now.. both java and bedrock, I prefer bedrock now as more of my friends have consoles and I can play my realm on the go on my phone. I would really like to see addons be able to be used without achievements being disabled, the java version doesnt disable them infact there are a few mods on my java profile that have their own achievements added in, I have a few major projects I'm building on my bedrock game in survival there I'd like mods that allow you to spawn npc guards to man the walls but I cant cause if I add the mod to my realm me and my friends cant get achievements anymore when new ones come out, I understand fully that your trying to keep the achievements fair but if someone really wants to cheat to get them it's not that hard to join a game that has almost everything set up already to speed through them, I miss playing the java version where I had conquest reforge that gave me over 8000 new blocks to use or chisle and bits where I could break a block down into 16x16 or 32x32 pixel blocks depending on my texture pack and use them to design custom furniture, add ons like the two I just meantioned dont even affect gameplay they are purely aesthetic so I can go above and beyond with my builds, I bought 2 of the packs on the xbox store that had camp fires and tents and then a vampire pack thinking they would be good additions to my world not realizing that those items could on be constructed in a different game all together... I really love the game and wish I could do more with it, such as you can set up multiple texture packs at once but they have a rank and only one can be used on an item at once I have a few fantasy style texture pack it would be cool if even in survival there was a wand you could craft and it would allow you to swap though textures for that particular block that way you could say have 3 or so different styles of glass panels which is what most of conquest reforged did with the left over meda data I had some really amazing builds and would love to try to bring them to life on the xbox but the only chance of that is with mods or to push for having some mods made into the actual game. I'm sure many other people out there feel the same. In my opinion those who would use mods to make achievements easier will find some way to spoof it anyway so why limit what we can build.

    The difference is that the Bedrock achievements are not just a world-by-world record, but a point score on Xbox or PS accounts. In current Java edition each world tracks Advancements separately, which should be matched with Bedrock.

    I completely agree with you : if someone really wants to unlock all achievements without being fair, then this is not a game anymore for this person and as you said, there are worlds on the internet that you just can import to your game so there is everything to unlock the achievements. Add-ons are a really interesting feature on Bedrock Edition and now you can just play the game the way you like it. So ban achievements because of add-ons is NOT a good thing because you CANNOT enjoy the game fully.

    the reason there disabled was because it affects the xbox gamers score. java was just for fun and it doesn't affect anything

    bu a few months ago people started making maps where you can unlock achievements that changes the maps txt from locked to unlock

    but since thats been defeated it's better just to allow mods/addons now with achievements since who knows how many people took this route so we can have other items ingame like more shields and such or weapons..

    I read and understood both arguments and agree with both. I personally want achievements to be allowed with behavior packs, only because people have used   MCC Tool Chest PE   to bypass being in creative and re-enabling achievements. Also, like the other person said, using the tool I mentioned above it's possible to make a custom map and have achievements re-enabled. So... it doesn't stop them anyways... I would still play the game fair, but the only difference is that I'd be able to have my own mods that I programmed myself from scratch added into my world(s) without achievements being disabled. Such things I make are new mobs, and maybe new biomes, dimensions, and items etc. So... it would be a dream if you could get rid the feature where it enforces us to have achievements disabled in order to have behavior packs enabled. Or at least add an option to choose from like, >add behavior pack with achievements disabled<  and   >add behavior pack with achievements enabled<  With messages explaining what they do individually. It would be similar to the operator without cheats and operator with cheats enabled concept. Same idea.  Think about this for awhile... Thanks for taking your time to read this, and have a good day/night.

    Maybe take into account what the behavior pack does. I mean there is no reason that 1 player sleep behavior for servers should disable achievements. how does everybody sleeping at one time affect that at all. Or another one is this wolf addon I found that also changes how a wolf behaves. It is still tamed the same as well as the breeding system. It just adds additional wolves to biomes and makes them act differently based on their type. Again, no reason this should affect achievements. I can understand some behavior packs that may change certain core gameplay, but not all of them are linked to an achievement.

    I want this! I want to be able to use addons like bedrock tweaks and still have achievements. I personally have almost all of the achievements but I still feel like this should be changed.

    I agree even though bedrock is confirmed to be the difficult version doesn't mean they should always give us the lower hand and people don't realize... java edition players also have xbox accounts that effect their scores as well, its not just bedrock players who get scores. But giving java all the cool stuff and the upper hand is EXTREMELY unfair. They should really just remove bedrock off the site since when you buy java you get free bedrock. It doesnt even say it on the site which is like an absolute scam. They should just have people buy java so they then get free bedrock. So that way everything is fair with achievements and more since more people have switched to java due to how popular it is among minecraft youtubers. Its just better to only list java and mention that you get free bedrock since they want stuff to be fair for both ends. With achievements though, giving bedrock a lower hand due to being the confirmed hardcore type of edition is just extremely unfair and unjust in everyway possible.

    I agree with the original post. Id also like to point out that on xbox, even the worlds available on the marketplace disable achievements.
    Worlds that have awesome Castles, Villages, Cities, ect and nothing to do with behavior packs, are all achievement disbabled. Maps that are Realms Plus, and maps are achievement disabled. Like at least let SOME of the maps that won't break the system be achievement accessible. Otherwise whats the point on playing these awesome creator maps. The only "pre made" maps that you can buy from the market that aren't achievement disabled are the Minecraft Mash Up packs, and those aren't very diverse or largely built maps.
    Relatively speaking consoles are a poor man's PC, and making the versions so different takes the fun out of it from console players. I'm sure there is a way to allow achievements for legit players without "breaking" the system.

    I completely agree with this. This is old and I see it will probably never get attention for them to address but 1 player sleep shouldnt disable achievements, nor should better crafting mod. If something completely broke the game and came with a easy button I get it, but most do not break the game. Even if Mojang added a few sliders to change gameplay slightly but keep achievements on would make a huge difference. 1 player sleep is my biggest focus here in survival, or even a chunk loader. I recommend a slider because hardcore obviously would have 1 player sleep off. I completely agree with a statement made in here stating "add an option to choose from like, >add behavior pack with achievements disabled<  and   >add behavior pack with achievements enabled<  With messages explaining what they do individually." This is a good solution.

    The reason I want this is because players who own a realm and want to get spawn set up and protected before letting the herd in are at a huge disadvantage unless they have access to and understand how to use MCC Toolchest PE, which most of us don’t. I have a great idea that would be fun for players but I need to protect spawn from griefing and I need to set up a teleport hub to get to the 30 different locations. Other than that there is nothing in creative that I need. I would like to be able to get it all set up, and then switch it to survival with achievements since all play will be authentic survival for any player that joins. We presently can’t do this. This limits how many players can set up a nice spawn for their players and protect it. And sadly for all the great creator worlds on marketplace I don’t play them because they disable achievements. For those labeled “survival spawn” they should be enabled! Just because the creator built some cool buildings for spawn to make it a bit more fun it shouldn’t disable achievements. (Unless they hide loot chests everywhere, but then they shouldn’t be categorized as a survival spawn!)

    This whole thing is a mess and has robbed Bedrock players of the full game of Minecraft.

    I have a world in Minecraft bedrock that I worked sooooooo hard on and when I added a behavior pack for crocodiles it disabled achievements and now I can’t get that world back with achievements on.I’m crying. Please help me find a way to have all my progress with achievements ON. Please make achievements a toggle on/off kind of thing. Cuz if you have cheats DISABLED you should be able to toggle achievements back on. Please make this a feature cuz I worked so hard on my world and now there’s no point in playing it if I don’t get achievements. This is a very old thing and we all probably know that it’s never gonna change but it really should

    We want to mod our realm, but others want acheivements. If only this weren't a dead site.
