Fix Permissions Issue in Minecraft Android Data Folder

I understand that Minecraft follows the latest Android regulations, which require apps to use their own private folders. However, I've encountered a permission issue in the Minecraft Android data folder. The folder `/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.mojang.minecraftpe/files/games` has permissions `drwxr-s---`, which prevents ADB from modifying its contents. However, the parent folder `/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.mojang.minecraftpe` has permissions `drwxrws---`, allowing ADB to perform CRUD operations. I suggest changing the permissions of the `games` folder to allow ADB access. Restricting ADB access to this folder hinders the development of Minecraft add-ons, particularly for small developers who rely on Android devices. By granting access, you'll empower developers to create and modify content without limitations. Please consider updating the permissions to `drwxrws---` for a more developer-friendly experience.
