The changelog said that you can unlock achievements with add-ons installed, but it seems that it is actually limited to marketplace add-ons.
This seems like a deliberate design for game balance, but it's very inconvenient for me.

As mentioned by @SmokeyStack_ on twitter, existing Add-Ons that are not from the marketplace will need to update their manifest to include a
product_type.Maybe Mojang will provide a way for no longer updated Add-Ons to easily bypass this without the need for modification, or maybe they will not, but third-party Add-Ons can definitely have achievement support.
