Replay for Bedrock Edition

Bedrock Edition should have a replay feature built-in that has basic functionality built in by Mojang, and can be expanded on by add-on creators.

Basic functionality would allow players to record the active gamestate without time restrictions, and would be able to record up to the players set render distance, but also would have it's own separate render slider to allow players to keep file sizes down if desired. Replay would be able to render using hardware acceleration in resolutions up to 4k, 60fps, and support high bitrates (at least 70kbps) for high quality renders.

Replay would have included basic functionality such as play, pause, variable speed, and possibly even camera pathing, and numerous options for focal point of the camera. Basic control of this could be made similar to how Replay mod for Java edition works... but additionally customization options could be made open to add-on creators to further enhance, expand, or change this experience to fit different user needs.

Replay capability would be a valuable tool for content creators of all types, whether it be survival or creative gameplay, people that like to create stories, skits, or acted out shows of some sort... or map / pack creators that want a better way to show off their creations... create cut-scenes for maps (image adding a replay into an adventure map that triggers upon certain player actions or defeating of a challenge, or level) and many other uses outside of this.

    If the replay ability feature isn't fully created and shipped, perhaps because only a certain percentage of people would use it, then at least adding in the hooks that would allow the recording of things similar to what the Java Replay Mod does. That way an add on could be used by the people who want the feature and perhaps different implementations could be made for different needs.

    An additional use case for this would be for players to be able to look back at an "instant replay" where they can preset how long things are recording for... say like 30 seconds or 1 minute... and while they are turning on their redstone based device... or pvp'ing, or whatever, something happens in their world they want to watch back, they can go to the instant replay of that moment, and watch back to see what happened wrong with their redstone... or get a better look at the device running, or see what killed them, or how. Many cool uses for normal players.

    This would not only be good for creators. Sharing clips with friends would be right in line with the whole idea of better together. It would also be useful for players testing farms having the ability to "fly" around the farm as it is working to see where errors may be happening. There are a number of uses for this. Aside from those uses...this is pretty much a standard feature on numerous other games out in the world and really makes no sense to not have it baked into Minecraft.

    If it's enabled it should NOT disable achievements for the player as the Replay add on should not be able to access creative mode or anything other than simply recording footage for timelapses and things of that nature. I'm so sick of every camera add on being forced to disable achievements for players.

    I really hope this becomes a feature because then I can capture epic moments when playing servers or in the game. The only problem is that this will take up lots of space and performance for devices like mobile, Xbox, or Nintendo which have already been suffering from a lot of problems. But I'm all for this idea of having Bedrock capable replay. It would be awesome and it would also be great if Java could also have replaying capabilities without mods. But Bedrock first of course!

    Having replay for Bedrock would be a huge advantage for content creators. This will enable the Bedrock content creators the ability to put out better quality videos and might encourage some Java content creators to release some cross-platform videos.

    我觉得可以只存玩家的操作，之后用地图种子渲染，可以节省空间
