Bundles of Bravery
Declutter your inventory with bundles
Bundles aren’t just a stylish way to give gifts to friends when playing in multiplayer – they’re nifty organization tools that’ll help you manage your ever-expanding inventory. Bundles are an item that can store other items – but unlike chests or barrels, which need to be placed, bundles can be kept in your inventory. In other words, they can travel wherever you do!*
*OK, technically putting a chest on a donkey/llama can also travel with you. But have you ever tried to put a donkey in your inventory? No. That’s just for bundles! (Donkey eggs do not count.)
Bundles can combine stacks of items together – so those three oak wood planks, six different flowers, and four types of stairs can all find a home neatly in your bundle.
The bundles tooltip also makes it easy for you to add, view, and remove items as often as you want. Finally, if you feel like engaging in some bundle-ception (not a word), you can also store bundles within bundles. That is, as long as the bundle you’re storing in another bundle isn’t full! Phew. That was a tongue twister, wasn’t it?
Hardcore mode – new for Bedrock Edition
They didn’t call Hardcore mode “easy-peasy Survival” for one very good reason – it’s the exact opposite of that. In Hardcore mode, the game’s difficulty is locked to the hardest setting, and you only have one life. That means if you die, you can’t respawn – and you’ll only be able to spectate your worlds! So unless pretending to be a ghost in your own Minecraft world, you’ll want to keep an eye on your hunger bar. And watch out for pesky hostile mobs. Oh, and steep cliffs, your bubble-meter, and anything else that might cause you to de-spawn in spectacular fashion. Ehm, good luck with that!
Hardcore mode – now on Realms for Bedrock and Java
Hardcore mode has existed on Minecraft: Java Edition for a while, but today marks the first day friends can experience the thrill (and the pain!) of this punishing Survival mode together via a realm! That’s right – Hardcore mode is now available on realms in both Bedrock and Java Edition. So if the thought of venturing into the hardest Survival mode of Minecraft by yourself fills you with fear, then grab your realm buddies, and take on the challenge together! Have each other's backs as you work to survive, or play against one another in the most Hardcore PvP challenge you’ve ever attempted. And if you’re not sure how to set up a realm on Java Edition or Bedrock Edition, you can find some help here. Make sure to also check out the Java and Bedrock changelogs.
We’re confident that Hardcore mode will run smoothly for most Bedrock players, but we’re still working on quashing some smaller bugs. Two of these impact multiplayer gameplay – one related to low internet speeds, and another when replacing a Creative mode Realm with a Hardcore mode world. While we develop a fix for these final bugs, we recommend all players regularly back up their worlds and check our changelog for more detailed information on factors that might trigger them.
In fact, that advice applies to anyone playing on Hardcore mode. Regularly back up your worlds! That’s not just great advice, it’s also a teaser for the very special writers’ challenge coming to Minecraft.net soon. Check back to see if we survived...!
In the meantime – master the chaos with bundles, or embrace it with Hardcore mode. The choice is yours!
