Add optional Java Edition features to Bedrock Edition

Bedrock Edition currently lacks several essential technical and control features that are available in Java Edition, creating a significant gap for advanced players, map makers, educators, and server administrators. Please consider adding optional Java Edition–style features to Bedrock Edition, such as: - A debug screen similar to Java Edition’s F3 (chunk boundaries, performance graphs, and detailed world information) - A Java Edition–compatible command mode or expanded support for Java command syntax - A fully functional off-hand system that allows players to hold and use items freely, similar to Java Edition These features are not cheats or balance-breaking changes, but core tools and controls that support technical gameplay, content creation, and education. Making them optional would ensure casual players and cross-platform users are unaffected, while greatly improving parity, accessibility, and long-term maintainability between editions.

    Providing these features as optional settings would allow Bedrock Edition to better support advanced creators without impacting casual or mobile-focused gameplay.

    This suggestion is about optional features, not forcing Java mechanics.
    The goal is better parity while keeping Bedrock’s strengths.

    This request focuses on optional parity features that can be enabled per-world or per-player,
    similar to existing Bedrock toggles, so they wouldn’t affect players who prefer the current behavior.
