Add External Communication Features for Add-ons

Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening.

My name is beby7078, and I am a Minecraft Bedrock Edition add-on developer. I have experience creating add-ons and some knowledge of Python programming. I would like to suggest the addition of a system that allows secure communication between add-ons and local files on a user's computer, or at least the creation of a dedicated storage area for add-ons.

The idea would be to provide a controlled folder, similar to a local game storage system, where add-on scripts could read and write authorized files. This would open up many possibilities for the community, including advanced configuration systems, integration with external applications, and the development of custom tools for add-on creation.

A simple example would be a Python program modifying a text file located within this permitted storage area. The add-on could monitor the file and, when a specific change is detected, execute an action inside the game.

Example:

• File: txt.txt
• Initial value on the first line: 0
• An external program changes the value to 1
• The add-on detects the change, performs an in-game action, and then resets the value back to 0

This feature would enable much more advanced systems and significantly expand the possibilities available to developers, encouraging the creation of innovative tools and integrations for Minecraft Bedrock Edition.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope this suggestion can be considered for future updates.
