Description

It appears that the path that is used in a script file for adding a robot entity to the bedrock edition of minecraft is deprecated.

The install_uwp.cmd script is putting resource packs into %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\development_resource_packs

and it is putting behavior packs into %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\development_behavior_packs

When I start minecraft, it does not recognize the behavior or resource packs.

If instead I add the resource and behavior packs to different directories, the game does detect them.

behavior packs
%AppData%\Minecraft Bedrock\Users\Shared\games\com.mojang\development_behavior_packs

resource packs
%AppData%\Minecraft Bedrock\Users\Shared\games\com.mojang\development_resource_packs

I've never done any minecraft related development, I'm just helping my 13 year old son write an addon so there may be a better way to get the game to detect the resource/behavior packs that indeed do require the current path in the script, but I wanted to share what I found just in case the old path is deprecated.

Research direction

Start with add_entity_robot/install_uwp.cmd and compare the paths it uses for development_behavior_packs and development_resource_packs with the paths reported in the issue. Run the script and check whether Minecraft detects both packs; done means the sample's installed packs are recognized by the game.
