Make non-functional add-ons give a crash report

So I'm a modder who's been able to make multiple complex items on minecraft Java edition, but I can't even add a single block on bedrock using the built in add-on system. I have no idea what to fix because instead of crashing the game just doesn't load my behavior pack! I've tried to fix it for hours, but I can't tell if I'm making any progress because I get no feedback at all.

As a developer this is a nightmare, I can try to fix it, but this is like trying to find a leaky pipe in a room filled to the top with water during a flash flood! You have no idea what is broken, so you just keep swapping pipes hoping to find the one that is the problem because you don't know which one is leaking.

Now I know what you're thinking, who would be trying to fix their pipes during a flash flood? And you know what I say? Exactly! I can't make any progress, so why even bother trying to make an add-on at all? I could of probably finished a full Java edition mod in the time it has taken me to attempt to add a single block in my behavior pack.

    I feel this on spiritual level. I'm also trying to create an add-on which it would allow players to create and place turrets in the game. I tried making the parts of the turrets placeable (if possible) which also requires custom block model. Sadly, not even a proper block documentation was created for it.

    This is so necessary! Any sort of bug finder would be helpful as well, it can take forever looking for what's gone wrong in the add-on
