Disable Advanced Debug Info (Gamerule)

With the rise in popularity of "anarchy" servers and other servers where base-hunting and raiding happens, people are utilizing any features possible to find bases. Unfortunately with the info provided in the f3 debug menu, it's near impossible to hide a base from base hunters.

I am suggesting a new game-rule that would disable advanced debug info such as the pie chart, entity counter, chunks, block entities, etc. I think this would greatly improve the experience for people that want to actually try and hide bases on servers. It would also allow server owners / staff to be able to distinguish between cheaters and normal players easier.

One side note is that I think it should be separate from the current reduced debug info gamerule, because using coordinates is very different from the issues brought up here.

    It is quite possible to turn off the "F3" menu completely, the coordinates too. For a long time already there is magnetite, compasses, maps, landmarks.

    This would be beneficial for both bedrock and java edition. Most of the info list on the java debug menu is not needed for survival. However, in bedrock edition there is no good indication of useful functions. The more advance features should be there only with cheats enable, while the more useful features such as coordinates, light levels, and biome indicators should be included without cheats.
