Blocking with shield with out crouching in bedrock

In bedrock edition, we can't block without crouching. I think that all platforms can have a way to block. In mobile edition, you can block the same way you eat (offhand or not). And in console using the "use" buttons when you can't do anything else, same for pc.

    If it was mobile edition, to eat I'm sure you hold the screen, meaning you will have to hold the screen the use the shield. I'm sure many people use the shield whiles its blocking an attack so that would be even more stressful. And for console, I am a sort of player who always has my shield in my offhand, so having to take my shield off my offhand just to place or use a block is already more stressful then having to crouch. I like your idea and where your coming from though, but the alternative options aren't the best.

    Proplem with console: what about reading the post.
    Proplem with mobile: you would of course have also the abbility to block via crouching.

    This doesn't really work for mobile without a dedicated button but it would work great on Windows 10 and consoles by working the same as it does in Java. Using shields while crouching should still be an option for twhe people who prefer it this way.

    To be fair this is more of a parity issue than a UI problem, but I do think your suggestion should be addressed.
