Allow us to use commands while the game is paused.

Allow us to use commands while the game is paused/while we’re in “ESC”. For example, my command key is / , so I’d press ESC and then / to start typing commands WHILE the game is paused. This would help a lot, considering there’s times when people are testing worlds, go into survival to test around a bit, and then are about to die but don’t have enough time to type the commands, but are game paused, about to die. This should only be available if cheats are enabled, or even some more restrictions to use it as well, like if your world was originally started with cheats on. I say this because if this was implemented, there could be people playing survival using it to pause the game, enable cheats via lan hosting, and then they’d be able to do commands while paused to save themself from any death. While this would make the game more meaningless for them, that might not stop them from doing it. So I suggest that if this is implemented it be only enabled for worlds that originally started with cheats on. If not, then only enabled when cheats are enabled.

    It could also be used to set up things before the game is unpaused

    There could be a gamemode that pauses the game but also allows you to move around and do things
