      Update on this issue:

      Unfortunately this change is something that is being stipulated by the platform itself, and is not an arbitrary change that Minecraft has decided to put in place. In order to comply with the platform's requirements and continue to publish Minecraft updates these changes had to be made. We are aware of the difficulties this has caused some players in managing their games and save files, and we have implemented some additional UI to help players make sure their world saves are kept safe and are accessible. For more information about accessing your save folders, please see the help page here: https://aka.ms/minecraftAndroidMigration

      Any additional feedback or concerns will need to be directed to the Android platform itself, as this is not a change that we have any control over.

      Now that MC is no longer on /storage/emulated/0, we cannot add behaviour / resource packs nor worlds to our game. 1.18 introduced this issue by moving storage to /storage/emulated/0/Android/data which all file managers (including the system default's file manager) has NO access to.

       

      Why must this change be put in effect??? Aside from basically forcing players to use junk from the marketplace....
