Please add a gamerule or option to restore old Absorption behavior

Hello Mojang/Microsoft Team,

I’m a long‑time player of Minecraft Bedrock Edition.
Since version 1.21.120 the Absorption effect ends immediately when all Golden Hearts are lost, which drastically impacts PvP balance and gameplay enjoyment.

Previously, players could stack Absorption by eating Golden Apples and Enchanted Golden Apples. For example, eating a regular Golden Apple after an Enchanted Golden Apple would normally add to the existing Absorption effect. This stacking behaviour was a key strategic element in PvP.

With the new behaviour, the strategic depth is gone, and matches feel like a pure fire‑power race rather than tactical. A buff disappearing suddenly feels unintuitive, and many of us feel the core PvP experience has been broken.

I request the following:

1. Please add a gamerule (e.g., gamerule oldAbsorptionBehavior true/false) to restore the old stacking behaviour.

2. If possible, make the Absorption effect configurable via addons so creators can adjust it.

3. Maintain cross‑play compatibility so it works across all platforms.

Thank you for your time and efforts.
This change will help preserve the PvP community and keep Bedrock Edition fun and competitive.

Best regards,
kakerucmd
