No more Add-on scanning

(Skip to paragraph 4 if you don't want to read the experience)

Recently, my favorite add-on, Actions & Stuff was added to the marketplace. I hate spending money on add-ons, so I often consult Curseforge for add-ons.

I stumbled upon actionsandstuffmc.com, what I believe may be the original site. I downloaded the pack, glad to find a way to not support the marketplace.

I activated the add-on for a world but it wouldn't load. after some attempts, I realized that the game was preventing this from working, the reason being that I didn't own the pack.

I understand, Microsoft, that the Bedrock marketplace is a great way for creators to market their work, but it gets a little upsetting when these packs are receivable from other places. The Better on Bedrock  pack is available on CUrseforge with No cost and ANS is available from the link I listed earlier.

I believe that the game scans your add-on files and makes sure you own the marketplace content listed. there should be a tag that asks it to stand down because ANS is one of the most beautiful animation packs I've seen. watch the trailer if you don't believe me.

Please accept this option, because Minecraft feels dead without this pack, and you're killing it for me and many others who may have encountered the same problem.
