Marketplace content on Bedrock Dedicated Server

With Realms, it's possible to add a texture pack you purchased in the store to the world so other players can see it, at least for some of the texture packs.

Can we get the ability to do this with the BDS server as well? I know there would be some technical challenges, as you couldn't just let people download the packs, but there are ways you could do it.

One way would be to add configuration options to define a server owner, with the owner being either required to log in, or to go to a webpage and generate a one-time use key. Only the most recent key would be active (which means you would be limited to one server), to prevent people from sharing accounts.
Then, once the server owner is set, any packs that the server own has purchased and which are enabled for Realm usage, would also be available for use on the server.

    It can be done through reverse engineering programs; in fact, it already exists, but it would almost be piracy.

    Please allow marketplace purchases on dedicated servers. There should be a way to allow marketplace addons on BDS. Literally if none of our suggestions sound good, ask ChatGPT what would be best. Realms is too slow and I like the capability of backing up locally, having a bunch of users, and upgrading my server to handle all the struggles while I play with my kids on their Nintendo switches, which are under powered lites restricted to 4gb of RAM. Let us build our ideal Forever World.
