However, it must be noted that if you enable third-person in the game, it will disable the prospect of earning achievements.

If you are serious about earning achievements, we urge you to not try enabling third-person on servers that you've built your main world around. You can initially try it out in creative mode, and if the prospect of earning achievements does not matter to you, you can go ahead and implement it in your main world.
