F3 Button for MCPE
Are you frustrated by the lack of information about your player and your world given in-game. Are you frustrated that Mojang hasn't added an actual toggleable debug screen that works on all platforms?
Need not to worry as the community seems to be doing more for Minecraft Bedrock Edition than Mojang these days!

*if using on the BDS, be sure to enable experimental world features!
If you are a developer and wish to use this pack, keep in mind that the scoreboard sidebar is reserved for the debug screen. Do not set a different scoreboard sidebar. NEW IN V2.0.0: be sure to keep the title and actionbar clear in your world. Ensure that you have space in your world for another ticking area if you currently use them. Also ensure there is nothing important at 0, 0, 0 (this is normally a block of bedrock on survival worlds. A command block ticking the day will be placed at 0, 0, 0.

Known Issues and Incompatibilities:
o F1 Pack by Elwaer
o A few packs that change the HUD. You should apply the resource pack above any packs that change the HUD.
o Addons that change player animations. Think addons like PixelPoly's guns addon.
o Addons that make heavy use of the /title command (like the advancements addon)
o FPS is not 100% accurate. This pack only takes into consideration TPS, entity count, and rendered entities to generate FPS. It does not consider opened programs, tile entities, etc.
o TPS may not be 100% accurate on some devices – this is a game bug.
Upgrading from Version 1.0.0/1.1.0 to Version 2.0.0:
Follow these steps in this order:
1. Remove all behavior packs from the world. Then apply the behavior pack with the following icon:
2. Apply the resource pack or behavior pack with the following icon. Make sure that this pack is V2.0.0, NOT V1.1.0 or V1.0.0!
Uninstallation from World:
Note: when upgrading versions, it is possible that you may get an import error when trying to install the uninstallation tool. This is fine, as the uninstallation tool will rarely be updated.
Remove all behavior packs from the world. Then apply the behavior pack with the following icon:
Load the world. When the world loads, you should see the following chat message:
[Player] Java Debug Screen removal successful!
You may then exit the world and remove all behavior packs and use the world as normal (without behavior packs).
Using the Subpacks Slider for the Touch Toggle:
In order for the button to show up correctly on touch devices, you need to choose the correct subpacks option. You can do this by clicking on the gear icon in the resource packs settings. When you do that, a slider will pop up.

You need to apply the debug screen resource pack on top of all of your resource packs. Then, choose the correct subpack option based on the resource pack that is directly below the debug screen resource pack. For example, in the next two images, because Multipixel is a 32x32 resource pack, I apply the debug screen resource pack above Multipixel and choose the 32x32 subpack option. When I do this, I will correctly see the button in-game.

If the pack directly below the Debug Screen Resource pack was 16x16, I'd choose the 16x16 option, and so on.
Other Information:
Technical Details
This pack works by querying the player in different conditions, executing a scoreboard command, and sending it to the JSON UI for formatting. For example, if I want to test whether or not a player is in the “Nether Wastes” biome, I query the tag “nether_wastes”, and execute a scoreboard command “/scoreboard players “Biome: Nether Wastes” set OBJECTIVE NUMBER for the UI to format. The formatting is complicated. Feel free to look at scoreboards.json and the entity controller to get a complete sense of what is going on. Inquiries about the technology are ok too! I am more than happy to answer questions!
