Impossible Packs
A non-exhaustive page on packs that will NOT be added to both BedrockTweaks due to Bedrock issues and DrAV's preferences.
Keep in mind that some might be added to BEComTweaks as toned-down versions.
Resource Packs
1. Bushy Leaves
There is no way to edit a block's geometry to make it bushy in Vanilla Bedrock. While pre-defined blockshapes can be used, with the closest one being Cactus, it does not match the original aesthetic of Bushy Leaves, hence why it is left out.
2. Visual Cauldron Stages
Cauldron does not support transparent textures, so just removing the center line doesn't help. Cauldrons do not have any visual changes when adding/removing water/powdered snow.
However, Lava Cauldrons do have a seperate Block State, but that misses the entire point of Visual Cauldron Stages.
3. Visual Honey Stages
The Bee Hive and Nest only visually change while full, so any other progress in-between cannot be shown in the pack. This prevents DrAV from adding the pack to BedrockTweaks
Available on BEComTweaks. Link ↗
4. Visual Noteblock Pitch
Noteblocks have no change in Block States when switching pitches or instruments, so having it change textures is out of the question. However, lonelyang discovered that you can edit the Particle emitted by the Note Block to show the current Pitch of it. Again, DrAV doesn't like the implementation of it and will not add it to Bedrock Tweaks

5. Directional Droppers and Dispensers
This is because of Minecraft Bedrock's issue. Mojang decided to combine both the sideways facing dropper textures and the vertical facing dropper textures into a single block without any blockstates.
Let's go technical!
blocks.json
"dropper" : {
"sound" : "stone",
"textures" : {
"down" : "dropper_top",
"east" : "dropper_front_vertical",
"north" : "dropper_side",
"south" : "dropper_front_horizontal",
"up" : "dropper_top",
"west" : "dropper_side"
}
}Have you noticed the East and South textures?
"down" : "dropper_top",
"east" : "dropper_front_vertical",
"north" : "dropper_side",
"south" : "dropper_front_horizontal",
"up" : "dropper_top",Yeah, Mojang decided to set the Upwards and Downwards facing Dropper textures with East and South. They couldn't bother setting a special blockshape for them, like the hopper. What a party pooper.

6. Most of the 3D Category
Currently supported 3D Packs are 3D Mace and 3D Sun and Moon. BEComTweaks also has 3D Fungi, but anything else is not possible mainly because Custom Geometry cannot be set for Vanilla Blocks. 3D Fungi itself was made using Azalea's Block Shape.
7. Connected Textures
Only borderless versions, like Borderless Glass is available, as a block is unable to check whether there is another block of the same type touching it. Shaders could be made, but they aren't officially supported on the main version.
8. Wavy Leaves and Plants
Either with a flipbook texture or shaders.
- Shaders
Not possible as it is not officially supported.[1] - Flipbook Texture
Very demanding, especially on mobile as it utilises extremely high resolution textures
9. Fullbright/Hardcode Darkness/Warm Glow/Mob Spawn Indicator
No shader support.[1:1]
10. Endless End Rods
Requires a bit more testing. Theoretically, adding a "blockshape": "block" should fix it, but the block turns black.
11. Randomly Rotated Sunflowers / Taller Sunflowers
Custom Geometry can't be set for Vanilla Blocks.
12. Redstone Power Levels
No shader support.[1:2] There is a buggy version by dhan on mcpedl which doesn't show directions. Link ↗
13. Groovy Levers
Custom Geometry can't be set for Vanilla Blocks.
14. Visual Sapling Growth
No block states to depend on to change textures.
15. No Beacon Beam
Beacon Beam doesn't support opacity, so if I put a transparent texture, the beam would just turn black.
16. Old Alex & Steve / Dungeons Alex & Steve
Minecraft no longer loads Alex and Steve textures from resource packs.
17. Big Dripleaf Stem Fix / Small Dripleaf Stem Fix
Can't make sure the stem properly use the texture, so it could result in the wrong side having no stems
18. Slime Particle Fix / Proper Break Particles / Don't Eat the Bowl
Vanilla bug that cannot be fixed. The particles' colors cannot be changed and are hardcoded by default.
19. Iron Bars Fix
General Issue. Z-Fighting cannot usually be fixed unless the shader is properly set or the cube is above the other cube by the smallest dimensions. However, shaders can't be changed[1:3] and custom geometry cannot be set.
20. Pixel Consistent Trip Wire
Custom Geometry can't be set for Vanilla Blocks.
21. Diminshing Tools
The current durability can be obtained, but the item texture cannot be changed based on the durability. Even if it was able to, there would be a ton of textures, lagging the game a lot.
22. Spinning Skull on Fire Painting
Minecraft Bedrock has all the painting in a single PNG file of resolution 256x256. There are, at minimum, 12 frames. The resolution would become 256x3072. Yeah.
Crafting Tweaks
None at the moment.
Behaviour Packs
1. Player Heads
Player Drop Heads is entirely possible as the game stands right now, but not how you would expect it to function. World Owners would have to do a bit or a lot of manual file editting to make the packs work, and you would be responsible for keeping it up to date as best as you can - we provide the script you provide the textures sort of arrangement.
Technical Jargon & Reasoning
The main reason a pack like this would work in game is its quite easy to make a custom block with the skull geometry and provide a flattened player skin (or part of it) so that the block will have all the correct textures on each side to represent the head, the issue stems from we have no way of doing just that without manually doing it. Whilst yes there is a HTTP library as part of the @minecraft Scripting API (not to be confused with Legacy Scripting), we cannot save the result of the call to the file system the server is running on, even with Bedrock Dedicated Server Software (the only place that currently is even allowed to use the HTTP library). So we cannot generate the "player head" blocks in runtime, which is ideally how and when it should be done so our pack remains small in size and compatible with everyone's systems.
There is hope and a possible solution, but its ugly. If someone was willing to put the effort into making a "Player Head Generator" we could ask players to upload their skins, then the system would generate a pack including all the skins they wanted (like Hermit Heads + our ugly mugs on the dev team) and their own, they could then use the generated pack. However this would require significant resources that DrAv cannot spare.
2. Off-Hand
It became impossible after 1.20 when Mojang updated the Beta API system to prevent any changes to the player on the gametick that an event happens. FoxyNoTail's Offhand Addon heavily relied on this, as it needed the event to change objects from mainhand to offhand on the same gametick that you are placing the block.
