Redditors were shocked to see the feature, which was Java exclusive, appear in one of the developer builds in Bedrock Edition. They also talked about other features that can decrease and increase the time in the game.

Most people were simply unaware that the cross-platform version of the game had this feature behind a developer build.

After finding out that the debug screen is on the version in the developer build, many people started questioning other features that Bedrock Edition didn't have like hardcore mode, spectator mode, and custom world generation.
