We’re not here to judge, but offer a note of caution before following this tutorial, cheating can seriously affect your enjoyment of the game. Therefore, this guide is meant to help those who accidentally disabled achievements.
This tutorial uses Universal Minecraft Editor (UME), although the process should be similar on other NBT editors. UME is a free product, unlike it’s counterpart Universal Minecraft Converter.
If you need to locate your bedrock world files, use this guide. UME will accept a world folder, or, .mcworld file.
