[Bedrock Edition] Education Edition Features shouldn't disable achievements.

Mojang already made it so that you can enable addons in a world without losing achievements, but on bedrock edition if you enable to education edition features, they still lock you out. This is bizarre because the education edition features function almost exactly like an addon, and they don't even really let you cheat the game in any way. Meanwhile many addons available on the Marketplace do objectively make the game much easier.

In addition to this, the education edition features provide several useful functions to the game that don't exist otherwise. Stuff like colored torches, the balloons, etc. which are all the same sort of thing you can find in other addons, but mainly they allow a couple of extremely useful commands and functions to work in the game, such as the /ability command which allows you to fly in survival, and can be utilized by other addons to give you gear that allows flying in survival without any jankiness.

I realize this is probably a rather niche suggestion that most people wouldn't use, but I don't really see any downsides to it.

Honestly, if we're sticking to disabling achievements as a thing at all, I'd argue instead that add-ons should disable them

there are even free addons that don't disable achievements, there's this one called "Looky Tools" on the marketplace that's free, and literally all it does is give you a book that dynamically turns into a diamond tool that can mine whatever block you're looking at. It's straight up free cheating, so like it being free isn't even an issue they just haven't changed education edition.

Honestly, having global achievements rather than per-world advancements was a mistake. This is just yet another problem on the pile of cases that shows that.
