.mcstructure file type (BEDROCK)

In the Java Edition of Minecraft, Structure Blocks save structure files to be distributed. The Structure Blocks in the Bedrock editions do not do so; rather they export a .obj 3D model to a service now taken down. The Structure Blocks in Bedrock edition should allow you to save Structures to your game files, in a folder called structures, found in the same parent folder as resource and behavior packs. These structures could be exported out into .mcstructure files, and then easily imported in the same way as .mcpack and .mcaddon files. Any imported structure can be loaded into any Structure block. 

In other words, make a .mcstructure system that mimics the ease of use shared by .mcpack, .mcaddon, .mcworld, and .mctemplate files. 

I would also like this to allow for structure generation in behavior packs as well.

    Yeah structure blocks should also be able to load in-game structures like the java version

    I agree. You should be able to move builds from one world to another.

    Yes, I just found a neat building, and I have the .glb file, so I feel that Minecraft should be able to import it.

    a good idea :). So we can’t waste time building buildings that we’ve already built

    Only if they add this to 1.17 (and there is no structure file in mcpe currently)

    you USED to be able to use the export button to make an .mcstructure file, which could be placed in a resource pack easily and loaded onto any world that had it applied, but people were complaining that it couldn't be used on other 3d programs so they changed it to only export to .glb to work with their structure website, which is discontinued making the .glb file obsolete, except to a few other 3d services. You can get a converter for .mcstructure to .glb but not the other way around, so the .glb is practically useless. They should change it back to .mcstructure or at least have the option to do either one. OR they could change it to match java where structures that are saved are loaded into the world folder, instead of unusably hidden in the compiled world file itself. this post has a decent amount of votes so far and is the only one that adresses this issue. IF YOU KNOW ANYONE THAT YOU CAN CONVINCE TO VOTE FOR THIS PLEASE DO!!
