It seems that it will be difficult to place maps and textures in the external storage space of the device as it is now, as storage permissions have been enhanced on devices with Android 11 or higher. (E.g. minecraftWorlds, resource_packs folder installed under /games/com.mojang/, etc.)

Therefore, it seems that it is difficult for users to directly install contents in the external storage space, but I am curious about how you plan to respond to that part.

It is expected that there are three main ways.

1. Keep only other installation methods (how to open and install .mcworld, .mcpack, etc. extension files in explorer with Minecraft app) in the future.

2. Allow users to specify external space directly, like the current /games/com.mojang/ folder.

3. Minecraft app gets "MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" permission.

Or, if there is another way, please explain.

Google Play announced that it will apply the policy from May 5th, so I am curious if there are plans for further updates to this.
