[MCPE-193997] Achievements turned off on five year old survival world

I have a five year old survival world, that has been active since version 1.14.0 in 2019. In 2020, an update was released during the 1.16 update cycle that automatically turned on the experimental feature “Custom Biomes” for all of my worlds. This wasn’t an issue until version 1.21.60, where despite such a thing never happening before, achievements were turned off for my five-year old survival world, because of the Custom Biomes toggle being turned on automatically and against my will four years ago. Is there any way to fix this? My world is pure survival and having achievements turned off due to something entirely out of my control isn’t good game design.

Hey! My name is Bill (AKA Woo)

This seems more like a technical help request than a bug however, the game turning off achievements was definitely unintended. Maybe check out https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us for technical support.

Thank you!

Same issue here, but never went into creative or enabled cheats. Not sure how long this has been going on in my 5 year old world. Just recently noticed it saying achievements can no longer be gotten in this world. This is on PS5 Console. Latest version as of today.
